    I think the second Maidana fight was a less risky placeholder before fighting Pac than a fight with Amir Khan, which was the other option.

    Any talk of Floyd deserving any verdict but W's over Maidana is horse****.

    Dang it! Another “bait the old guy” thread. I was prepared to write about Floyd PATTERSON!

    How many of those HOFs were in their prime?

    About 1/3 of them. But each one was a significant win. He was out of his prime for a few of them too.
