    One of Froids greatest assets was hew could run faster backwards than most guys could forwards one thing he could not do was stand & FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

    Hate, the question of the thread was why don't more people give Floyd credit for his rope a dope. I answered it.

    Floyd handpicked. He didn't fight guys in their prime. He is not in the list with the top guys who ever fought because he does not belong there.

    you are welcome. Floyd is what the fighters today are. Sort of watered down skillwise from the guys of the past.. Too many titles and sometimes catchweights.

    Man that is good stuff you should write a book or make a documentary. This analysis is just to good for a message board...keep up the good work! I think you are every bit as good as markant
