    Floyd has NEVER LEGITIMATELY beaten Pac. IV Gate totally destroyed that Circus. EVERYONE knows why Floyd needed that 750 mil of ILLEGAL saline drip for. It sure wasnt because he was dehydrated.
    Neither Floyd nor Canelo deserve to be called ATG's They both have too many dark clouds looming over their careers. Ped's cheats cannot be regarded as ATG's

    because he waited 5 years and after Marquez knocked him cold to fight him. Simple. He did not fight the same Manny he would have fought in 2010. Not close.

    He receives plenty of credit from some (and deservedly so).

    Because it was boring. He won but the only actual highlights of that fight came from Manny.

    Highlights don’t win fights. Sometimes the highlights are a bit biased especially in this case where they only show Pac as if he won.

    Floyd did what he had to do he controlled the distance and pot shotted his way to victory and tied manny up when he tried to get inside. And won comfortably. But I can see why he don’t get much credit because of the hype that preceded the fight which turned out to be boring.

    Ducking for 6 years.
    IVs
    Running and holding in the fight.

    Asking for credit? get out of here.

    There’s a pretty obvious answer that’s being brushed over: A lot of people do not like Floyd Mayweather.

    Hatton outweighed Mayweather by over ten pounds. Guerrero also weighed more.

    Yoo have no clue what you’re taking about and you put an “etc.” when there is nobody else.

    You’re a little slow. Mayweather fought Hatton in the high 140s and Hatton entered the ring in the high 150s. I’m sure Hatton appreciated not having to cut so brutally for the Floyd fight.

    Similar w Guerrero.

    How is he bigger than hatton when they both came in probably at the same weigh in to the ring? Marquez and Pacquiao are lighter but not by kuch do you forget Floyd started his career at the lower weight classes as well

    Sorry but the whole IV gate scenario tainted that fight. I cannot give Floyd credit for that "win" In my opinion that result should have been changed to a No Contest

    It's crazy how many people give Floyd a free pass for PED use.
