Who loves Floyd as a fighter?
People criticise him for running and being too defensive minded but the guy is a genuis in the ring and at times a marvel to watch.
He's hardly going to stand toe to toe and trade blows with a 154 lb Hall of Famer when he's a natural 140 lber at best.
He keeps moving up in weight and fighting guys bigger and stronger than him and he keeps winning.
It would be physically impossible for someone of Floyd's size to stand and trade with someone who has fought as a full blown middleweight sp he wins using his superior craft and speed.
How anyone can even think Manny Pacquiao should be p4p number 1 is completely beyond me.
Pacman is a very exciting fighter but he's beatable even by guys in his own division. Marquez would have a great chance in a rematch I'm sure.
I know he's already moved up a few divisions but there's no way his style could win him fights against the best at lightweight so nobody even expects him to move up.
Floyd has gone up far beyond his own natural weight class and gets berated for the fact that he didn't stand, trade and walk through one of the modern greats, a 10 time 6 weight world champ and Olympic Gold medalist?
Thats like expecting Manny Pacquio to move up to 140 and overwhelm and knock out Ricky Hatton
