Had a bunch in his early career... A few that come to mind are: Genaro Hernandez Angel Manfredy Diego Corrales Arturo Gatti Started schooling Zab Judah pretty good Ricky Hatton
I'm not saying gatti ever had anything for floyd, but when they fought gatti was beyond washed up. Alcoholic, pill addict, 3 weight classes above his weight, beat up by de la hoya, 2 grueling fights with ivan robinson, 3 fights with mickey ward
People like to conveniently forget that when he was PBF he was stopping opponents left and right. Its only when he got to the higher weights did he fight smart and cruise his way to UD's by potshotting and fighting smart. Some of the top fighters at the time wanted no parts of Floyd. Especially when he beat down Gatti. That was fight was hard to watch but it put on display everything Floyd could do at the time and people wanted no part of that. Some even claimed that had toothaches and such. He put punches together then and sat on his punches. As he got older instead of declining he found a diffrent way to when.
Exactly he only whoops boxers weaker than him. If he fought someone tough and stronger he cowers runs and hugs all night.
Evander and Floyd senior both felt Pac beat Li'l Floyd. Shane called it a toss-up. (The correct score as scored by me, was 8-4 for Floyd).
Hugton and judah are frekking bumz. That just proves my point he beats up weak azz boxers like this but when he had someone who was stronger and tougher than him the mofo runs around the ring.Even small bloated Marquez had his azz on reverse mode.
If you know boxing it is absolutely true. Make him miss and make him pay. Controling distance. angles. Slipping and countering.
Corrales was undefeated and coming off of some very good wins. Many expected him to win or at least put up a good fight. He was mentally distracted but not sure the fight would have gone much differently if the legal issues weren't there...
after those, he's been dancing around the ring and leaving all the decisions to his judges under his payroll.
