    They can't handle the idea of Pac not being the best to the point they believe he loses or looks bad to "trick" Floyd...they said the same things after Mosely and JMM III...

    He got **** his pants KTFO to trick Floyd too? :rofl

    Manny Planking and pretending to be dead after JMM nearly beheaded him with a massive shot was a stroke of genius, Floyd fell into his trap and now can't wait to fight him...oh no wait

    Well a wrecked one eyed version is #1 SWW Cotto's best win at the weight, at 153 :lol: That's after medically unfit Marg vetoed Cotto's unprecedented request for a 150 CW defense, with 160 rehydration clause.

    But I see you're out of ideas already and ready to resort to trolling.

    Unfortunately for Floyd all the best challenges out there and the most skilled fighters in there Prime Floyd never faced so its going to hurt.

    Remembering its part his fault also.

    Huh?

    What's Ortiz' prime anyway, the one time he managed a win over a top 10 fighter in 5 tries?

    Floyd has fought more prime guys than Manny but you don't hear constant bitching on Pac. and to top it off, half of the out of prime guys that floyd fought, manny fought right after. Make any sense? not to me.

    Haha,

    Hatton prime at 147 where he lost to a garbage fighter in everything but the scorecards. He was prime when Pac fought him, massively bigger, at his best weight, against floyd he was smaller, at a weight he was rubbish at and against a referee too.

    Cotto in his prime who is blown up to 154 because he was destroyed by Pac, all his good wins come under 154 and he was savaged againts a much smaller Pac, Mayweather again naturally bigger and picking a guy heavily on the decline/nearly retired.

    Guerrero bum, Ortiz glass hearted bum.

    Learn to be objective. He could have faced a prime Mosely,a prime Cotto, a prime Margo, a prime Pac, a prime Martinez who offered even 150lb cw,even a prime Khan, not all of these guys would have beaten him, maybe only 2 or 3 but his resume suddenly looks so much better even with a loss or 2 on it, any of those names looks better than an Ortiz or Guerrero.

    Alvarez would be a good addition, I don't see him taking it, but he should, he is very hyped, he is young, he has limited experience against world class opposition, his only real advantage is size. May would get a tonne of credit for beating him and on paper it looks a good win. I personally wouldn't read too much into it as I said, he is very inexperienced against top fighters to suddenly throw him in against a very seasoned skilled fighter would be very harsh, but if May won't fight Pac, Alvarez offers a lot more than his usual bums and will go on to be a good name on his resume.

    The ones who were way bigger than Pac, but smaller than Floyd? perspective please.

    Pac faces guys much bigger and seasoned which is a tough test, people are worried about Alvarez being too big for Floyd, Pac faced much bigger guys than this which is why the victims he dismantled much easier than Floyd is so astonishing. I can only recall ODLH being bigger than Floyd and there is a case to be made that he beat Floyd, then look what Pac did to him which shocked the world.

    I want to school you on some things here and try not to take it to heart as Anglo has mentioned.

    Hatton had to move and he also had to wear 10Oz Gloves
    Cotto was well past his Prime and most fans know this and has been for some ****ing time now.
    Mosley well past it but hurt Mayweather like we have never seen.
    Ortiz well he may have been Prime but he is not that good
    Same goes for Guerrero and if anything Guerrero's best weight is 135 not 147.
    Should I go on about other fighters like Judah losing but the fight still went ahead.
    Or the Marquez Farce which should have been a NC

    Since his return it has been Bull**** the fights we wanted and the best guys out there in the divisions that we think are better than some of the others have not got a chance.

    Im sorry but Floyd is giving you fans of his some Bull**** fights for his Legacy.

    This is a guy that thinks his better than names like Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Robinson but his list of Opponents does not come close to them guys.
    Remembering he said he is the best Boxer of All Time.

    Sorry Floyd but when your best win is Diego Corrales some 11 years ago NO.
