    Floyd was fighting Bero
    Wilder was fighting Duhaupas
    Ward is gonna fight Brand

    I mean these are considered elite level fighters and they should make their fans happy by fighting top notch opposition.

    Only Wilder fully deserves all the criticism he gets. But It's true that Eurasian fighters move faster in the pro ranks due to their amateur experience.

    Hey ****boi PBF before he fought Berto had beat ATG and HOF fighters, he moved up in weight through 5 weightclasses and dared to be great unlike GGG. In fact a fighter of Berto's caliber wouild be one of GGG's best wins.:deal

    tbh I think some aren't being moved fast enough, top rank are doing a terrible job with mekhontsev,murata and gvodsyk with his wsb pedigree should be already in the world top ten, not fighting journeymen

    and

    lets be honest
    in 18 years floyd had 1 or 2 unification fights. meaning he was content to just defend 1 strap against anyone not holding another strap.
    he hardly went through 5 weight weight classes....

    Yeah, I agree, not sure why Mayweather bothered with a low caliber opponent like Pacquiao...

    Wrong, every time Floyd took a strap, he took it from a defending champion. Pac fought for three vacant titles. Floyd was a true strap collector.
