Floyd Most Overrated WW Resume in History ?

Everyone in the sport of boxing wanted and demanded Floyd vs. Mosley... until it happened, of course. Then many backtracked.

 

They will do the same thing with Pacquiao. They love screaming now that May is scared, but as soon as the fight happens "oh Floyd knew Pac was slipping" "Pac was concentrating too much on congress" "Pac was too small" etc......

 

i get the point about floyd not fighting cotto or margarito four years ago - but having seen cotto and margarito's subsequent fights does anyone really think floyd wouldnt have beaten them. and anyone that says a young ssm would've faired better doesnt know much about shane. he's always done his best fighting against the walk up latin style fighters - against defensive fighters like wright and forrest he struggled. floyd would've beaten shane in any era

 

I have also seen all 41 of his fights and 2 Olympic fights. I had Floyd winning the Castillo fight since I score fights on clean punches landed. I made sure to score it with the sound off. Also I don't know if you know this, but Floyd doesn't use the philly shell against southpaws that much. He usually keeps his hands up.

OP has a valid point, and in fact missed some details about PBFs oppostion at WW:

Mitchell - was only his second fight at WW, had been thoroughly spanked by Tszyu only 2 fights earlier and went on to lose 1 out of a further 2 fights before retiring.

Judah - lost to Baldomir

Baldomir - fair enough, he was the WW unified champ after his fluke win over Judah, but the guy had 5 losses when he fought PBF (a factor that PBF always mentions as a reason for not fighting someone) and went on to lose a further 3 times out of 6 fights after he fought PBF, and still went the distance with PBF.

What has PBF done at WW?

 

Look man, he got hit hard by Mosley, DLH hit him with a big right hand in rd 11, I guess by ur logic he struggles with orthodox fighters too??? This is boxing and you're going to nhit, but he gets hit less than pretty much anybody else in the sport. And I like how you negelect to mention that he busted up Judah, and dropped Corley 3 times in routes to wide UD's. Yeah what a struggle it was.

 

Zab stepped on his foot while Floyd was off balanced and Floyd was fighting Corley in a gun fight and was being more offensive so It's bound to happen that he'll get hit

We're all waiting for emmanuel to take real testing. You know the answer to this too.

 

do u ever get tired of ur floyd bashing threads? he is still gonna do him im sure regardless

 

Why do you think its Floyd's fault that certain fights that you wanted to see didn't happen.
