Don't forget Pacquiao's second fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. Brilliant win for the Pacman. Pacquiao didn't need to drag him up to 144 pounds and then deliberately miss weight with no shame. He just plastered his ass at 130 pounds. Does Floyd have no shame?
Plus, those are almost all at the tail end of his career. He went 9011 and 12812 first. And the guys he'd beaten up to then: Henry Armstrong, Fritzie Zivic, Jake LaMotta, Sammy Angott, Marty Servo, Kid Gavilan, Bobo Olson. You have three all time great fighters and the rest are some of the best of their generation. His later career is checkered with wins and losses but he still picks up wins over greats like Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Rocky Graziano, and the fairly good Randy Turpin. Floyd doesn't have half that good a resume.
But how Great are guys like Basilio, Fullmer, Graziano, and British level Turpin when it's all said and done?
Can you understand that Floyd deliberately chose to not make weight? Nonsense? Hardly, he was afraid of a featherweight.
Again... You guys are brainwashed to think fighters from the past are always better then fighters of today.. That's not how it works and unfortunately it's mostly the young guys who probably never ever seen videos of those guys who are copycats and say what others say. How did that hearns-Jones thing work out for you?
Dude Roy Jones prime was mid 90s. Hearns prime was mid 80s. Their primes were 10 years apart. Not much of a difference in era at all between them. Plus Jones was a 90s athlete. He was soaked in roids. Just like Bonds, Sosa, Mcgwire, Mosley, etc. The older guys can have just as much talent as the modern guys. And have 10 times the honor.
Forget 150, mostly all credible experts have him ranked a lot higher then those guys now...so much for being a blast from the past huh?
He's right. How would Floyd do in his 150th fight? Would Floyd have twenty something world champions on his resume if he fought in an era with 1 belt?
