    Only fighting top guys when they were past it?

    Ha!

    Now that reminds me of someone.

    I wonder who it could be??

    How many times are you going to embarrass yourself today?

    Guess what, genius. When you fight great fighters who are at their peak, you tend to have close fights.

    Did you forget about the Castillo fight?

    Oscar fought guys who Floyd wouldn’t have fought.

    Despite what you claim, Floyd waited Manny out and then had an illegal IV.

    He wouldn’t fight Canelo at 154.

    He deliberately came in over weight against JMW.

    He kicked up a fuss about Maidana’s gloves.

    So don’t be criticising Oscar for having hard 50-50 fights, because we don’t even know if Floyd would have fought peak versions of Oscar, Tito and Shane, let alone have beaten them.

    And if you seriously think that he’d have fought Hopkins and kicked his arse, then you need to give yourself a slap before deleting your account.

    I can't see Floyd fighting ANY Sweet Pea. He's too good, too difficult.

    The criticism is not for when Oscar had 50:50 fights it s for how his performance levels dipped in those fights which prove he is not a great fighter. You say you don’t hate Floyd yet you spend a lot of time trying to pour **** on his perfect career. No I did not forget Castillo Who Floyd Beat Twice that’s right Twice first time with a torn rotator cuff. Floyd beat Manny who was younger than him and beat Canelo your excuses don’t count. If my aunty had balls she would be my Uncle. You have no credibility on this topic. Quit because all you will do is lose. If Floyd fought Andre Ward at Super Middleweight he would lose would be your next argument. Just shut it you are beginning to sound like a little girl Instead of a grown man.

    You don’t know a young Floyd did spar with Pernell don’t you and did well. He did not talk much about but took great encouragement from it.

    The only time Floyd was relevant was from '96 onward. That means he sparred with a quickly aging Sweet Pea who was off doing coke and God knows what.

    To compare that with the quick-fisted, liquid southpaw from the late 80s and early 90s is ridiculous. Although Floyd fans seem to not know when someone was prime, so who knows?

    I hope the graduation went well!

    I knew you'd pick Floyd to win every fight lol.

    You need to watch the guys fight instead of just looking at boxrec.

    Mayweather didn't win every round from 3 onwards.

    It was very close going into the 9th round, but by then father time told his tale.

    Pimp C is a patient man for debating some of you dudes all of the time. There's no reasoning. I gave you specifics details to look out for and you're just ignoring it without rewatching the fight to see if I'm right or wrong. You're replying with the same anecdotal nonsense.

    This is so ridiculous. Lol. Floyd is never beating down Oscar like that. Lol at pretending Floyd's body was broken down when he fought old Oscar. He was in his prime. Just at one weight too high at 154.

    The myth that Floyd would throw down against anyone at lower weights is also ridiculous. He did it when his opponents allowed it. He wasn't throwing combos and blasting Castillo out was it? His offense was severely limited and he was reduced to doing the same thing he did at 147, being extremely defensive. He wouldn't be throwing combos at Oscar.

    I’m genuinely serious when I say that I actually pity you.

    You’re a grown man FFS.

    You are an utter embarrassment.

    You should honestly be ashamed of your actions on this forum.


    Yes, of course his performances dipped, you absolute donut.

    He was fighting other great fighters who were in their prime.

    Why didn’t Floyd beat Castillo like he beat Gatti?


    I’ve never debated anyone so biased and deluded before.

    According to you, Floyd had a torn rotator cuff against Castillo. Yet you accuse Manny of fabricating his, despite the fact that just a few months ago, I posted you a direct quote from the surgeon who carried out the operation.

    Floyd was older than Manny? Wow! Then it must be the greatest win in the history of the sport.

    He beat Canelo? Wow! What a guy. Beating a fellow 154 champ after forcing him to weigh-in at 152 pounds.


    Don’t talk to me about being a grown man.

    You are the guy who has criticised Oscar for fighting Hopkins, whilst you’ve praised Leonard Ellerbe for negotiating a 152 deal for Canelo.

    You are the guy who has turned a blind eye to Floyd’s IV.

    You are the guy who’s claimed that Floyd would have beaten Bernard Hopkins.


    You’re a disgrace.
