Canelo and his team offered it so Floyd took it. This same Canelo had fought at 147. You are the one being pathetic in your constant desire to finish Floyd’s achievements. You have it bad son. Just admit you don’t like Floyd and stop being in denial. Admission is part of the journey to curing your problem.
It’s based on reality and how they matched up stylistically. Stop your nonsense. Nobody has said that Oscar would have beaten those guys. Floyd wasn’t unbeatable. Castillo wasn’t Duran was he. A faded version of Oscar troubled Floyd, 6 years before he easily beat Canelo. It’s not inconceivable to think that a prime version of Oscar would have fared better.
Hopkins was a MW who should have been fighting SMW’s and LHW’s. He would not have gone down to 154. But if he had’ve done, there’s no way Floyd would have taxed his arse. You are just embarrassing yourself. It’s like you’re living in a different world to the rest of us. Floyd wouldn’t even fight Canelo at 154, so on what planet would he have fought a MW at the limit, before going on and kicking his arse? An ATG MW, who was 6’1 with a 75” reach, who turned pro at LHW-CW? Just stop. It’s so cringeworthy.
Already have numerous times. I am watching my niece’s online graduation ceremony so will come back to this later.
Neither stayed there long oscar beat an old jcc and an overrated Gonzales. If you want to say he had a better run at 140 than pbf then fine i won't argue it.
No. It’s called ambition. Striving for the best. Pushing yourself to the limit. He doesn’t deserve criticism. He DESERVES RESPECT. He fought an ATG MW. How can you insult what he did, whilst you praise Floyd and Ellerbe for being smart?
But you only say there's 2 because you haven't watched a lot of boxers from the history of the weight classes you say.
