    Never said he sucked i simply said he lacked certain things in order to prevent from being walked down. Btw he toyed with jesus Chavez and literally couldn't miss before stopping him.

    Against margo who's much bigger than Chavez he would move like he did against baldo. Margo can't beat pbf if he fights that way.

    Not for me.

    He had more mass, but they were almost equal in height, with Floyd having longer arms and a bigger reach.

    Look at the weigh-in.

    I think we on to something here. Screw fighting champions. Floyd should have had a spreadsheet of active fighters with their associated arm lengths and let that dictate his career. I mean, you hear people all the time talking about arm lengths when discussing other all time great fighters. I'd have to say it's probably one of the most talked about aspects of boxing. Margos long arms would have served him quite well as he walked straight at Mayweather in a straight line all fight long. How would Mayweather even begin to solve such a problem?

    And my point is, that I don't care. Thats not how I judge the bigger man in boxing.

    Sebastian Fundora is 6'6, has an 80 inch reach and fights at LMW, I don't consider him a bigger man than Artur Beterbiev who is only 5'11 and has a 73 inch reach.

    Fine.

    We'll leave it that.

    Saying that Floyd looked like a child vs Canelo is silly.

    Well he did. 15 lbs of muscle on guys who are 5'8 is a HUGE difference in physique.

    That's not proven.
    That suspected.
    All we know is that he had plaster in Shane Mosley fight. That's a fact. Rest is just speculation.
