Floyd no credit vs Canelo

Whether Floyd is a dick or not I don’t care. He was an amazing fighter, a true champion and generally had the integrity of a warrior.

 

They fought at 152 which is closer to Canelo's weight class at that time which was 154 than Floyd's which was 147. Compromised my ass. I don't even like Floyd all that much from a personality standpoint but this argument against him is quite frankly, weak.

 

They just don't like Floyd and are looking for the way to hate on him even discussing his great achievements.

 

It was a very good win at the time. I think many didn’t want to give him full credit because of the catchweight. But Canelo went on to become the best fighter in the world and a first ballot hall of famer. That’s a great win. Especially considering the age and performance.

 

100%. The best I've ever seen live were Floyd, Manny, Crawford, Usyk and Wlad. I could add Inoue in there too. Canelo was something else as well, but he kinda fell off imo after becoming undisputed. Golovkin was one of my favorite fighters but he doesn't have a resume to be with those guys.

 

The best defensive fighter with some offense to him ever. Sweet Pea was probably better defensively, but he didn't have the pop Pretty Boy Floyd had in lower weight divisions.

 

Thanks!

I love me some Shane Mosley. Especially when he beat up that cheat who must not be named.

 

Canelo is one of Floyd’s greatest victories.

 

Canelo wasn’t compromised whatsoever. But he was also far from the fighter he would become. It’s a hard win to rank but it’s clearly a pretty damn great one
