Why do people say Floyd never overcame adversity?

Because after the castillo fight he fought c level fighters or past prime fighters.

Honestly his post Castillo resume is horrible. Only Hatton and Cotto are decent wins for him in 13 years.

 

Remind me again when another fighter beat JMM 12-0, beat Paquiao comfortably, beat canelo easily.

 

How bout Canelo and Pacquiao, I'm sure they are at least "Decent"

 

Did you just miss the entire thesis of my post. All good fighters were post prime or green besides Hatton and Cotto.

 

:deal

Morales said it best the man will retire undefeated because he always knows when to fight guys That's why he has no problems in the ring ..

 

So now he fights fighters that are too young for him


Even though they have no problem beating every other fighters

 

Like that time when he SUCKER PUNCHED C LEVEL FIGHTER, GATTI cuz HE WAS SCARED TO FIGHT HIM FAIR????

 

Floyd fought Cotto who had lost his soul to Margarito and gotten demolished by Pac

 

so marquez was past his best lol?

 

Cotto win is underrated but Cotto was past it at that point

Canelo win was good though and the Pacquiao win is always going to be at least pretty good

 

But I will say this in the rematch against Castillo he did erase all doubts ..Did he over come adversity somewhat fighting with a torn rotator does test a fighter..

 

Of course. His best weights were 126-130. And Floyd cheated on the scales. Tainted win.

None of the wins he had post Castillo are totally legit.

Marquez- Old and blown up
Hatton- Dragged up
Pacquiao- Old and blown up
Cotto- Brutally KO'ed twice before
Canelo- Drained and Green

He has two really good wins. Corrales and Castillo II. Other than that no. He's done little in 13 years to warrant this praise.

 

I've always said Mayweather in the lead up to the Castillo fights was legit.

He defeated Corrales in great fashion. Had a close fight with Castillo, but then dominated him.

After that, meh.

 

Pretty much ..
