    His resume is desperately in need of Amir Khan. A faster, younger, stronger, skilled elite boxer. How many can you name in Floyds resume? Hardly any.

    The FACT is, Floyd doesn't NEED to fight Khan. He never did.

    Khan isn't some elite fighter that would automatically make Floyd an undeniable ATG. Pacquiao is the only other fighter at WW that I would consider elite.

    Floyd doesn't owe Khan ****.

    Rankings of fighters whose skills get overrated because of their speed:

    1. Amir Khan





























































    2. ???

    All I hear about Khan is his speed. I never hear about his technical skills.

    The ONLY thing good about Floyd's resume is his 0. That is it, the amount of great fighters on that list who weren't washed up you can count on 1 hand.

    Oscar had an amazing resume, even with the losses and robberies. Loads of elite and ATG fighters on there.

    Floyd's resume should have names like Tysu, Paul Williams, Freitas, Spadafora etc. and then we could talk about how good it is. He simply lacks great competition and only has 1 win over an ATG that wasn't washed up, and many argue Hernandez wasn't an ATG and already was destroyed by Oscar. Floyd's done a wonderful job of taking the easy fights and avoiding the tougher ones. The last 6+ years consist of B and C rated bums.

    Since when is Spadafora a great fighter?

    Tszyu was on his way out when Floyd could have fought him (2004).

    But Oscar arguably lost every time he stepped up. Since when does a resume also count losses? It's my understanding that a resume ONLY counts wins.

    starts at 50 seconds, this guy knows his Floyd history. Spadafora was rumored to have beat Floyd in sparring and was undefeated at that time, guy retired at 49-1.

    Oscar lost everytime he stepped up? WTF are you smoking? You must be new to boxing. Oscar beat everyone from Molina, Ruelas, hernandez (who floyd says is his own biggest win! a win oscar never made a big deal of and made undefeated Genaro quit on his stool), ATG Chavez TWICE ( while past his best was still extremely active and undefeated for years before he ran into oscar and nobody had did that to Chavez before), ATG p4p#1 ranked Whitaker, Gonzalez, Quartey, ATG trinidad (everyone knows oscar got robbed badly) Castillejo, roided up vargas, Mosley rematch (everyone knows oscar got robbed in this one also).

    And as a matter of fact, prime Oscar only lost ONCE, and that was the first fight against undefeated, prime Mosley. Yes, he lost to Sturm and Hops but middleweight wasn't oscar's class whatsoever and had no business there and this was past his prime anyway.

    If you give oscar the wins over Trinidad and Mosley rematch, as they should have, his resume is even more unbelievable and easily the best in the past 20 years. Lost everytime he stepped up!? LOL

    You do know sparring isn't the same as an actual fight, don't you?

    Who was Spadafora's best win?
