Floyd hasnt beat anyone who hasnt been beaten before or again. All of the fighter's he's faced have numerous loses, no different to Hopkins. By YOUR logic, that means Floyd has done nothing great. Is there a win of Floyd's that is better than the Hopkins win? Who? (I expect you to dodge this question). Both of them are undefeated, but Calzaghe has the better win.
There is no answer for Calzaghe. A riddle that no one could solve. Which Floyd win is better than the Hopkins win?...
But Jermain Taylor beat Hopkins TWICE....before joe "beat" him. Floyd has more undefeated fighters on his resume than Scary Joe. Mayweather won his first title at 21....what was Joe doing at that age?
There is no answer for Sven Ottke.A riddle that no one could solve. Jermain Taylor already beat Hopkins...twice. You can make a case for ANY of Floyd's fights being better than Joe's "win" over Hopkins. Floyd actually WINS his fights.
Ok so which one? ATGs Guerrero, Ortiz, Corrales? Maybe Hatton, Zab or Baldomir? Im only asking for one. I predicted that you would dodge this question, and you did dodge it. You dodge, because there is no answer.
Beating Oscar in his FIRST fight at 154 beats Joe's "win" over a guy Taylor already beat TWICE.:yep You know things are rough for Welsh Rabbit fans when their idol's biggest "win" was over Jermain Taylor's leftovers. Joe didn't even CLEARLY beat Hopkins.:deal At least Oscar had power and scored a fresh KO...
Floyd is still active and Calzaghe hasn't been retired long enough. You can't put a fighter into their proper historical perspective until they've been retired for at least five-ten years.
Two different stratospheres, as awesome as joes career was no objective person outside of Great Britain and Whales can honestly tell you joe ranks above Floyd. There's nothing in joes arsenal that surpasses Floyd and just watching them operate you can see the vast difference in skill, technique ring generalship. This takes nothing away from claz he's a hof fighter and considered the greatest super middle of this generation and even generations past. This is simply an unfair comparison and I wonder if its a trolling thread?
Taylor is not great because he's been KTFO so many times. Cal has rarely been touched. I'd say at this point Floyd is a hair's width ahead of Cal but that's it.
Taylor DIDNT beat Hopkins he got 2 gift decisions. Calzaghe didn't beat him either Slappy got a gift too. Nard refused to be a yes man & marched to his own drummer. He upset too many people to ever think of getting a fair crack of the whip in fights. He's had to fight for everything he has. Both Floyd & Slappy aqre cherry pickin wannabe cowards & their legacies pale beside Bernard The Executioner Hopkins :happy:happy:happy
