    They're not underrated wins. People always said they were good wins. None of those wins are legendary wins. A legendary win would be like Jones Jr. Schooling Toney.

    This is the wrong thread. A guy who has underrated wins and gets no respect for his wins is Andre Ward. He has beaten Kessler, Froch and Kovalev when they were all in or very close to their primes.

    He fought Judah who had been the man at the weight before Baldomir, so he fought the prime previous champ and then the champ who was Baldomir. Cant see how that is ducking anyone? After that he fought the far more impressive De La Hoya

    Kessler was very faded and Froch was on a run with a recent loss and some disputed wins.
    How was Toney more legendary than Floyd beating Oscar or Pacquiao or even say Corrales? Toney had how many SDs/Close decisions?

    Was 33-0 Corrales not an A grade win?
    Was Marquez not prime when Floyd beat him considering we know how impressive Marquez was at WW?

    Take a look at
    Funny how no one in the ring picked up on that LOL Do you think for one second if there was anything wrong he'd have wandered around the ring showing them to everyone. Cotto got his ass kicked LEGITIMATELY I was there saw it all

    Why are you bringing me into your conversation with someone else about a fight between 2 different fighter's? That is what someone does when they get owned. They change the subject and try and argue about something else not relevant to what they were talking about

    Neither video showed anything other than Fluffy holding Maidana's head and Fluffy crying his eyes out like a little schoolgirl
    Now you explain to me how Maidana could bite through those big pillow gloves ,Fluff made Maidana wear, his hand wraps too while wearing a mouthpiece ????? Haidana must have a mouth like a damn hippo
    Youre either very naive or Thick as two short plank I know which I think

    Floyd was always trying to influence the ref in fight, it served him well tbf. Some will say any advantage you can gain in competitive sport is fair game, i get it, i don't like it, i wouldn't and haven't ever done that sort of thing to gain a competitive advantage. The sheet thing is that alot of the time those who have the limited morals to do things like that do gain and are rarely punished.
    id rather be a solid fighter with decent resume, widely respected with a comfortable life style, who always played by the book, than a fighter who moaned, cried and conned his way to success living a lavish life style.
    Using Floyd in the video above as an example of trying to gain advantage in a fight, the example of the opposite would be micky ward in the first gatti fight took alot of low blows and barely complained until he was dropped by one in rounds 4 or 5, that's a man in the ring, that's the way to behave... Opinions guys? Which one would you be?

    What's the story with Philip Ndou? I know **** all about him.
    How did he end up fighting Floyd?

    I'd have to say my favorite performance of early floyd was against Corrales. It is so underrated and I would also say Judah. after the 5 rd floyd completely dominated Judah who was imo a top tier fighter. Honorable mentions Phillip Ndou and Corley fight he was so technical in those fights people always say how Floyd runs but that was Floyd after the multiple hand injuries than he became very defensive minded even tho he was always a great defense fight and relied more on ring iq and counter punching/defense

    He was a very good fighter at the time and big puncher. It was a very impressive win.
    He is an African fighter and was world rated when they fought. It was a real top tier fight at the time but gets little mention, which is one of the reasons for this thread.

    If you took away Floyds wins over Pacquiao, Oscar, Cotto, Alvarez, Castillo and Corrales he still has an amazing resume with -
    Judah, Maidana, Ndou, Juuko, Manfredy, Berto, Chavez, Genaro Hernandez, Carlos Hernandez, Hatton, Gatti, Corley, Mitchell, Baldimor, Marquez, Ortiz, Mosely, Guerrero which by itself is HOF

    Looked to me like it was on the finger area which isnt on the wraps and can be bitten into. Also the ref didnt say anything of the sort like you claimed so you have been exposed easily. You werent clever enough for this thread dummy. Now go run along like a good boy :eaea:
    Mayweather was clearly winning that rematch so wouldnt have to rely on any assistance from anyone, he had the fight in control 116 - 111, 116 - 111 and 115 - 112 all for the winner by UD :aaaaa::smoking:
