I did not bring up Horn here you did. Yes I have brought up Horn when talking about Pac before but that was while discussing things like FOTD. Pac is still well preserved enough he still retains his speed and his explosiveness, his problem is that he doesn't have the stamina but what he lacks in stamina he makes up with experience and has a much better ring IQ his defense is better he has better timing. He's more of a thinking man's fighter than he's ever been, he has evolved nicely in his late career.
But wasn't it you that claimed boxing writers were just writers but knew nothing about boxing, when they voted in a lop sided way that GGG beat Canelo in both fights ??? Cant have it both ways my friend lol
What? lol Way off topic..lol Anyway, the years that he did fight was obviously better than everyone else despite not fighting all 10 years.. Do you really think you have to fight the whole decade to be fighter of the decade? You can't miss a year or two and still have better wins than anyone else?
Well, yeah, but that's how you win over Pacquiao. Pot shot, keep your distance, keep the guard up at all times (something Thurman quickly learned) NEVER COMMIT, and if Pac closes in, clinch like you're a teenager swooning over Bieber.
Floyd was taken into deep waters by Marcos "Shut Out By Devon Alexander" Maidana. And that's after paying Marcos $1.5 million dollars to wear gloves he wasn't used to. Floyd fought a drained Canelo who was still green and arguably lost to Trout. Floyd fought an injured Pacquiao and after years of hurling PED accusations, was caught w/ a needle in his arm. Floyd fought a guy with a record of 0-0-0 for his 50th "win". Like I said, if not Pac, Ward should be FOTD.
Floyd > Pac Floyd beat Pac Floyd beat Pac's daddy JMM Floyd beat Pac's granddaddy Maidana Floyd never lost to fighters like Torrecamp, Rustico, Bradley, or Horn. Floyd beat a better version of Hatton, DLH, Mosley, and Cotto.
Pac has been fighting welterweight division for over a decade and still there Mayweather is a way bigger guys 5"8 and 72 in reach a way bigger frame than pac. Pac is 5"5 and 67 in reach. Pac fought is not a natural welterweight but have the balls to keep fighting in that division for over a decade now. Can floyd have the balls to fight beyond his natural weight, let say middle weight or supermiddle for over a decade and beat if not all atleast most of them without the help of the judges? If he did he is entitled to be a TBE and majority of the boxing communities and fans will not question his claim as TBE Pac beat hatton, delahoya, mosley, cotto in a more dominant fashion as a smaller man than mayweather. Also pac beat margarito, clothey and thurman that floyd ducked. Floyd lost to castllio in the first fight. He first fight with maidana many says he lost as well. It was very closed the fair result should have been a draw. It can also go either way. If the fight where in maidana's home he could have the WIN. Some says floyd lost to de la hoya. It was also a very closed fight and it can go either way. Floyd did not do enough to win the fight with Pac. All he did was ran and hug. The judges scorecard and compubox scoring were unbelievable.
Nothing went wrong the fight just stunk.. The blame is 45/55 Mostly Void for running and hugging. But also Pacquiao for not having an inside game like Marcos Maidana. That's about it. Talks about a rematch is irritating and uncalled for at this stanza.
