This isnt an I hate flloyd post!
Since baldomir he has fought

de la hoya
Hatton
marquez
mosely
ortiz
cotto

Dont get me wrong - winning all these looks VERY very good on his resume but thinking about it de la hoya pulled out an SD (i had it 7-4-1 Mayweather) but was finished a year and a half later

Marquez - Simply too small imo - however fair play for floyd not getting outboxed for almost any of the fight

Mosely arguebly shot at the time - no quips minus getting tagged in the second round when he actually showed amazing survival skills for someone hardly ever hurt

ortiz - well i thought ortiz was doing ok until round 4 but cant read too much into the fight

That leaves Hatton and Cotto (i remember when it was mayweather, hatton and cot to as the up comers! )

Hatton it is argued was not great at 147 and
cotto I THOUGHT drew with Floyd (I know im in the minority) but lost his next fight

The trouble I have is I think his two best fights were against Baldomir (he was smaller and Baldo had beaten Judah) and against Judah who was pretty awsome in rounds 1-5 imo. Mayweather beat them both handily but before that the very good/great fighters he fought were Castillo (one contested loss) and Corrales (probably the best indicator of how good floyd is considering it was a 50-50 undefeated fight).

So i know this is a rambled post but I think Floyd really does need to go and find another defining fight - in my opinion to be ranked alongside srl etc.

Am I being overcritical? I cant decide! I hate floyd so much and would LOVE to see him knocked out but at the same time i'm very impressed, hes only ever had two/three contestable losses against a host of champions and he has never ever had a close fight against a non verging on great fighter
