    Boxing is called The Fight Game for one reason the combatants FIGHT!! I doubt Floyd would be much good in a street fight though. I know I would have willingly paid to see Ann get her hands on him behind the Austin gym

    Only you and people like you deny the greatness of Floyd and Canelo in their eras. As for the dollars of course the money matters that is why they are called prize fighters. Floyd’s legacy not just in boxing but in sports entertainment will endure the test of time. He has shown fighters that they can be their own boss and don’t have to sell themselves to a promoter. They can promote themselves. Floyd’s reputation does not suffer you are just praying or hoping it suffers but like Ali, Tyson, Duran,SRR, SRL, Hagler, Hearns, James Toney,Chavez, Dick Tiger, Monzon, Azumah Nelson, Jack Johnson, John L Sullivan his legacy will endure the test of time.

    I personally disliked Larry, he was extremely negative towards certain fighters.

    Once he made his mind up about a fighter, he stuck to it, regardless of what they actually did, he looked for the negatives and drilled down on them.

    Larry identified a problem and he dealt with it accordingly. In other words, he handled his business. In fact, that unruly thug's lucky Larry didn't go full street mode on his ass like he used to do with clowns like him on the cobbles in his youth when he was a feared street fighter.

    I remember there was a TV show in 90's where these armchair tough guys thought they could beat up Pernell Whitaker in sparring because he was small and a "light puncher". Man, did they get a rude awakening.

    I'd be curious to see that

    Reminds me of when they had Floyd's big bouncer body guard guy get in the ring with a featherweight looking guy and get a bloody nose

    Floyd's reputation & his legacy in no way matches any fighter you name here. Even Leonard who had more than a few suspect decisions go his way beats him. Everyone KNOWS Floyd was protected by the State Commission & Vegas boxing it was expected that if he was still standing after 12 Floyd could not lose. Now that mantle has passed to Canelo its impossible for any opponent to get a decision win over him in Vegas regardless how the fight went. What really amazes me is people STILL buy the trash

    What is amazing is the trash you come up with and the fact you seem to actually believe it is worrying.
