    You're not wrong. However, if he had defeated guys like Cotto and Margarito instead of Judah and Hatton, you'd be saying :

    Judah, pac, Hatton, paul williams, young shane, young oscar, tszyu, bailey, winky, vernon, spadafora

    come to think of it, how do you fight that long and not accidently fight those guys??


    My point is : it's easy to look at anyone's resume and nitpick. For example, Mosley lost to guys like Forrest and Wright (nothing to be ashamed of) and Pacquiao got knocked out. However, Floyd, Pac and Shane have good resume in reality.

    The point with floyd is his inactivity has backfired on him.

    you could replace baldomir wit margo, hatton wi cotto, but it aint a real improvement.

    he should have fought ALL of these guys

    Floyd was fine i think up until WW, until he retired from a division which included cotto, williams, mosley, cheato all unfought and all looking for a fight with floyd in 2007. Basically he retired from a hot division, thats what floyds problems is, on top of that it looks like pac may have agreed to some or all of floyds demands and he is on vacation again!! :rofl Hes just back from 18 months off and is gone for another year or more after all his talk

    Yes you are crazy. "Backfired" as in "making him the highest paid and most in demand boxer in boxing"? You have a strange definition for backfire.

    You can't replace Margo with Baldo because Margo was a nobody with no belt. You can't replace Cotto with Hatton because Cotto was a nobody with no belt.

    How can you fight "everybody"? Look at the list and you will see every fight that didn't get made? Blame Bob Arum.

    You named bigger but not neccessaril better guys
    And shane aint get the job done..Winky, Vernon,

    Cotto(140lb malinaggi killer) Vargas(young and humbled) Mayorga(Old delahoya humbled) Margarito(weapon free).. Otta here with that.

    He gotta a resume but no ring smarts. No adaptablitlity. 17 year career and still thinks boxing all about rocking the heavy bag. Its a respectable humbleness, but casual boxing fans must not agree. Cuz they dont support his fights.
    Not that im throwing shade on Shanes record. Cuz much respect is due and he is a great of this era. But subjective is subjective.

    Total agree with the TS, his typical suspect fans like Leon and Michigan is overrating Floyd, even at 130 his resume is not that great.

    obviously mean backfired from a viewpoint of legacy.

    you cannot deny that the following:

    victories over margo, baldomir, hatton and cotto

    look better than:

    victories over baldomir and hatton.

    like i said the fights shouldnt be replaced, they should have also taken place.

    as for fighting "everybody" ali did it, and floyd sees himself on that kind of level.

    ighting once a years is great if you can afford it, but it does, by default, mean you will be left with gaps in you resume. this is a simple fact.

    thats all very nice..

    AND ALL 3 OF THOSE FIGHTERS WERE RANKED TOP 10 IN THE WORLD ALONG WITH CORRALES AT THE TIME WHO WAS RANKED 5

    AND YOU FIND EVERY WAY TO DISCREDIT EACH VICTORY..RICKY WAS A 2 DIVSION WEIGHT CHAMP..FLOYD HAD ALREADY MOVED UP TO 147 AND WASN'T GONNA MOVE BACK DOWN...

    JMM WAS RANKED #2 IN THE WORLD..19 MONTH LAYOFF AND BEATING THE NUMBER 2 GUY IN THE WORLD LIKE HE NEVER BEEN BEAT BEFORE..NOT MUCH FOR THE LEGACY THOUGH

    SHANE WAS A GOOD WIN REGARDLESS OF AGE..U HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE ARGUMENT WAS BEING PUT UP AFTER THE FIGHT NOT BEFORE THE FIGHT..

    BEFORE THE FIGHT FLOYD WAS SCARED TO FIGHT SHANE BLAH BLAH BLAH AND WOULD NEVER FIGHT HIM ETC ETC WE KNOW THE REST...

    SO YEA MAN THERE U GO ..

    BTW MOSLEY WAS RANKED #2 IN THE DIVISION LIKE IT OR NOT..

    I CAN JUST AS EASILY COME BACK AND DISCREDIT PAC'S WINS..NOT VERY HARD...ASIDE FROM THE COTTO VICTORY HE HASN'T BEATEN MUCH OF ANYBODY LATELY REALLY....CLOTTEY..LMFAO..NEVER WON A BIG FIGHT IN HIS LIFE...WHOOPS UR BAD..HOLLA:deal

    that s a typical ******* response if ever i seen one. who brought pacman into the debate? you did.

    i make a comment about capital letters annoying me, and you respond with a comment about pacman. is he your hero or something?

    does it **** you off that your hero is fighting a bum who got caught trying to cheat? does it **** you off your hero is fighting for another bs catchweight title? how do you sleep at night? probably whilst dreaming about a pacland orgy you ******.
