    I’m one of Floyd’s biggest critics. Especially considering how he handled the latter part of his career. But you said PRIME.

    Floyd wasn’t boring in his prime.

    Floyd was exciting as PBF in his prime, between LW-LWW.

    He threw combinations and he was aggressive.

    Yes, he was cautious in the latter part of his career. Most notably because he was facing bigger and stronger guys, where he had hand issues and limited power.

    Inhoue is great. And I give him huge credit. But he’s also been facing lesser fighters.

    Pac had special gifts that enabled him to do previously unimaginable feats, but he was quite frequently off balance which Inoue very rarely is. His ring savvy and gifts was in most cases enough to compensate for that, though.

    Floyd would never beat Inoue because he wouldn't want that fight or he would wait for Inoue to get old...

    Scared of tszyu??? Man you weren't even following boxing back then you just repeating stuff you heard other pbf haters say. He didnt skip 140 dummy. Pbf back then was a HBO fighter and tszyu was showtime neither fighter was big enough to warrant cross promotion.. Lastly tszyu lost to hatton at 140 and retired and hatton refused to fight pbf back then so he moved up to chase zab.. But yeah since the fight didn't happen blame pbf. You're one horrible troll and don't know **** about boxing I won't even bother responding to the rest of this nonsense you posted.

    Your whole knowledge of boxing is poor.
    Pbf fought at 140 dummy he didnt skip the division. He was an HBO fight and tszyu was showtime. Neither fighter was a big enough name to warrant cross promotion and tszyu quit on his stool against Hatton something you left out because it doesn't help your agenda. Pbf would embarrass tszyu but because they didn't fight he's scared of him??? Lmfao! Why didn't tszyu call pbf out?? When pbf got to 140? Was he scared of pbf???

    You're a ****ing idiot who's bitter because a fighter you hated dominated an entire era. You don't even know what you're talking about half the time. You're too dumb to know that pbf called out Tszyu Mosley and oscar when he was at 135 but was seen as too high risk and low reward back then by all of them. You seem to put everything on pbf when fights don't get made and none on the other parties. If a fight doesn't get made you automatically blame him without factoring in other things that's why you're a troll and created this dumbass thread in the first place.

    Pacquiao's skills are underappreciated he was very slick & evasive, many of his punches he avoids & end up landing on his arms/forearms but get counted by the judges.

    Why didn't your trolling ass make a poll saying who's greater pbf or inoue? I'll tell you why because you're a troll who thinks this somehow discredits pbfs entire career that's how delusional you're. Lmfao! What's even funnier is you didn't even see a young pbf fight talking about going to sleep log off casual. You don't even know wtf you're seeing in the ring.

    Have people walked out of Inoue's championship fights because they are bored? Nuff said. End thread.
