    Pac fighting Margarito AFTER old Mosley destroyed him

    - All right, but what about the size difference? Still a nice showcase.

    Or Cotto AFTER Margarito beat him to a pulp

    - Yes, but Floyd struggled badly with Cotto after Pac and Marg beat him to a pulp, so if you want to call Cotto a leftover for Pac, then he's a dual leftover for Floyd and Pac beat Margarito anyway. Both dominations at that.

    Or Hatton AFTER Mayweather KOs his ass

    -KO's his ass in 10 and after an early struggle and needed adjustment. Pac simply took out the trash in 2 rounds.

    Or DLH who was way pas hist prime even before Mayweather

    - I agree. Not a substantial W for either.

    Or Mosley who was old and destroyed by Mayweather

    - Outfought, but destroyed? I don't know, I clearly remember Floyd being on ***** street in the 2nd round. He dominated him after, but both men got a Mosely that was off the Sugar. Not a substantial W for either, but as usual, Pac had an easier time.

    Useless like

    Rios

    - Agree, useless, but it's a tune up after a KO loss.

    Diaz

    - Not substantial, but first dip into LW. Difference is next few fights he moved up again and destroyed substantial competition and didn't keep fighting Diaz's... plus Diaz was after fighting top opposition again and again and again. Floyd has made a career off of easy pickings.

    Clottey

    - Dominating a top rated contender in a stay busy fight while Mayweather was continually making negotiations impossible and running. Not a bad mark for a former Flyweight as well to dominate a guy weighing 170 pounds with Ws over Judah and a close L to Cotto.:lol::patsch

    You *****'s DKSAB.

    :shock:

    Agree on Cotto, he's a B+/A- level fighter and should not be a barometer of greatnness. He's popular for whatever reason. Even though Floyd dominated on the cards, it was surprising to see Cotto win three rounds. That biatch didn't want to fight with 8oz after Floyd requested them.

    You basically agreed to everything I said about Pac's "legacy". I won't even bring up the 25% of fights rematching the same faded Mexicans. Pac's legacy has names but when considered in context, far from impressive.

    If you look on the back of Pac's neck, you'll see "made by Bob Arum".

    Cotto won 3-4 rounds and several others were close, bloodied his nose, pushed him hard. Hardest since Castillo. Which Castillo won that 1st fight and was robbed - outlanding Floyd by over 60 punches, which idiotic *****'s insist that it was a fight that can go either way, yet you'd have to stretch yourself to give Floyd a single round after round 4.

    Downplaying Pacquaio's amazing legacy is pointless. He's the best of his generation by a mile.

    Floyd is a promoter and a fighter second. We should keep that in proper context. P4P no. 1 is absurd to place on the head of a cherry picker.

    Did he not just pull a Riddick Bowe also?

    After 20 other excuses over the course of 4 years?

    Even if he fights him now... Pacquaio is not the Pacquaio of 3 years ago. If he fights him at the end of his Sho deal it'll be a declined, beatable guy and he'll get full credit for it like he defeated the raging 2009 version that would have put him in the trunk.

    Cotto bloodied his nose. Shane almost knocked down Floyd. Moral victories for *******s? Worth as much as Pacquiao's wallet right now.

    LMFAO here we go with Castillo AGAIN. Is that the best you can come up with? Floyd rematched him immediately to prove wining that fight was no fluke. Why if Castillo was so dominant that he couldn't win the second? According to you *******s he has the blueprint. *******ed logic that's why. I can come up with Singsurat, Torrecampo, JMM (floyd's sparring partner) by KO. Of course those don't count right? Those were in the past? Let's hear the excuses.

    I already proved to you who is the cherry picker. Downplay it all you want, you have no argument. You're just a ******* :smh

    Tszyu , although a 'lesser' name to the 'general' sports fan in the U.S. at the time, was the undisputed champion at 140 pounds. It was not Tszyu's position as champion to 'call out' contenders, as Mayweather in reality was at the time.
    It was also not in Tszyu's nature to 'call out' fighter's, he never did it and thus missed some big fights, Tszyu's legacy was affected by this, I believe. Basing himself in Australia didn't help either as he was so far away from the action.
    These are significant reason's that fight never happened. Personally I think Tszyu would have knocked out 'Pretty Boy' and PBF probably knew this in his heart. Mayweather's got a lot more out of his pro career than Tszyu did obviously but Tszyu had the power and timing to decapitate floyd.
