Why do people keep forgetting that Floyd's prime years were at 130 to 140

When you claim you're the best ever and go outta your way to play the villain card in order to draw more interest look to get more criticism then say a fighter like Matthysse Or wlad



Common sense really

 

Fact is Floyd was great at 130/135

140
He was ok nothing special best win was hatton


147
He was ok nothing special best win was maidana

 

Hatton was at 147. :nod

 

154 Oscar , Cotto and Canelo.

 

:good Nothing but the best for the best.

 

The #1 man at 154 each time.

 

Morales was alway huge for his division, had he moved straight to 135 he would have most like lost to Casamayor, Castillo, Corrales, Freitas (Raheem lost and struggled against Chavez who fought with one hand half the fight).

Barrera would have had next to no chance, while Marquez.

Different weight divisions, but Morales could have easily moved up as it was mentioned on his debut at 130 against Chavez that he was killing himself to make weight 126 (yet he still had a size advantage over Chavez at 130). One shot from Freitas would be enough to k.o him, and he was more elusive and faster than Raheem, on top of having beat Raheem.

Castillo would have a 20 pound + height advantage which Chavez didn't have, they had a pressure high volume style somewhat similar, and Chavez rocked him badly after the first big punch landed and still stayed competitive fighting one handed half the fight.

Floyd didn't fight all of them which goes against him, but if you think all time greats like Morales/Barrera would get through all of them with ease you're sorely mistaken. 130 was a very strong division at the time, but sadly Floyd didn't clean it out.

 

I think that was the best version of Floyd, absolutely supreme.

 

:|:|:|:|:|

 

Yeah its the worst bro, ppl really DKSAB!!

 

Floyd is at the tail end of his prime now

Pacquiao is shot

 

What would change exactly?

He'd be even faster, quicker and would still be bigger than Juan

 

:roll:

 

you my little young fella have NO idea what you're talking about. he couldn't fight mab, morales or jmm , they were NEVER near the same weight and Floyd would mop the floor with 2 of them and win a brutal fight against morales if he was able to drain foyd to 126.

kostya had so many chances, he chose hatton instead at the end then was supposed to be Floyd but a prime beast hatton ****ed that up.

Floyd was the most ducked fighter in boxing from 130 to 140.
once he jumped up to 154 to beat Oscar and become the money maker then and ONLY then had fighters started to call him out.

its easy to know the facts if you were a fan pre 2008. and Floyd retired because the ONLY one that would fight him was marg and that's a joke. Oscar wouldn't let him out of thr rematch clause so he literally couldn't fight ANYONE until it ran out then he mopped the floor with jmm, the same jmm that killed a so called primed up pac

and if you wanna babble about the acne on his back, take a look at pac for the Floyd fight, same acne on his back and body yet he was tested and clean.

for people who have truly trained acne comes and goes from crazy sweat and silly lotions applied while training and sweating your ass off..
