the only one who said he was the best ever was Floyd. No one else ever said that. He handpicked guys at the right time in every fights. He put a lot of thought into fighting good names when they were not that good or making them not that good.
That is indeed a funny sight. Some of them truly believe they are apart of his club while others somehow believe that they are sharing in the glory when they don those ridiculous TBE caps and t-shirts.
Even his daddy has said that Jr. is not the best ever.... Jr. even eluded to not really being the best historically.... In an interview he said every boxer should believe that they're the best ever because the second they do not believe that, they will lose. From a mindset/confidence perspective, it makes sense...
When he went 88 miles an hour in the flux capacitor and went back and fought Duran at 135 and then hit Whitaker on the way back. Oops sorry that was just a movie
What movie did Floyd go back in time and fight Duran and Sweatpea? Or is this an alternate ending to Hands of Stone?
he just has a huge ego. the guys a tool I am sorry. no respect for a guy who puts his hands on women the way he did.
Interesting question. When he didn't fight then undefeated Olympic gold medalist and WBA champ Joel Casamayor at 130? No, not then. When he didn't fight Stevie Johnston, the fighter Floyd himself described as the best at 135 while he was there? No, not then. When he didn't fight then undisputed Jr Welter champ Kostya Tszyu at 140 but instead waited for the WBC to make Tszyu "Emeritus" champ & fought Arturo Gatti instead? No, not then. When he beat Oscar at Jr Middle & Sugar Shane at Welter? Enters the conversation. When he beat Cotto & Canelo at Jr Middle? Hmmm, worthy of consideration, but no not then. When, past his best, he beat fellow past his best & contemporary, Manny Pac? Had they fought when both at their peaks and won, possibly then. I think he gets gongs for TBE resume and TBE managed career. Does he get the gong for TBE without qualification? Not quite. If Golovkin were to flog Canelo & Floyd were to face & defeat Golovkin straight afterwards, I think he'd be there. Being one win away from TBE without qualification is pretty good going.
Specially a guy that started watching boxing last week. You should use your free time to watch boxing and learn instead of to come here and to say nonsense about a fighter that took his first world title from ATG SFW henández being 20 yo, that left SFW with nearly 90% ko ratio and that has been the best fighter of his generation without any doubt. But hey, I'm sure that one week has been enough for you to learn everything about this sport, plus your friends tell you that you are right, and the guy on the tv (who doesnt say what fanboys want to hear in order to increase the audience) says the same. Dont worry, I'm sure you cant be wrong.
He did duck Pac until he was a shot fighter and a shell of his former self. Pretty boy floyd wanted nothing to do with a prime manny.
