    I believe that Floyd was the most measured fighter in the history of boxing.
    Utilizing his athleticism, reflexed, timing, boxing IQ, speed and poise to make sure he won every fight.

    Against better opponents he took few superfluous chances.
    But against lesser opponents more of his versatility shows, and you see him come forward more regularly.
    Also his hand injuries must've played a role in tempering his offense. The question is how much of a role that played.

    130 Floyd with Reyes gloves was a beast. Hand injuries seemed to alter his style.

    I don`t think he was setting up his shots well in this tweet though. How good do you think he was at 19?

    Do you think he was a beast in this tweet though, at that age?

    One of the greatest fighters ever!

    Not saying he has the best resume, but boxing i.q and talent is right up there with the very best!

    Haters will hate on the man, but what a talent Floyd was!

    Instead of bickering about who was better and putting each guy down, we should be blessed to have witnessed Manny and Floyd work

    Two all time great fighters that could hang in any era!
