Good article, Ronnie. I'm sure everyone here will share your sentiments. However I don't agree with:

And the following is just a load of nonsense:

There were so many factors contributing to the failure of that fight. To insinuate Pacquiao is a drug abuser, is highly innaccurate and misleading.

 

How can you say that Floyd has never fought a world class fighter in their prime and weight class? You really don't consider Corrales or Castillo world class?

 

Wait, did you just imply that Khan is ducking Ortiz and taking the easier fight against Bradley? :huh

 

I think he may be alluding to Corrales cutting down to super featherweight. But yeah, to suggest Floyd has refused to fight an elite opponent in his prime weight/age, is not entirely correct.

 

:huh

He fought Oscar at his weight at 154.

He fought Mosley at 147 where he can knockout farm animals. And he did make an effort to fight Mosley earlier in his career.

But yes, his bout with Marquez was a farce.

 

Yes that's true, and for that reason he belongs no where near the Alis, Suga Rays etc. But within this modern era (the past decade), Floyd's definately up there with the best.

But I do understand why you would include Floyd in an article like that. His mentality in choosing his opponents, is not good for the sport.

 

If this problem is eradicated, boxing has the ability to once again be the most recognized sport in the world (maybe second to football).
