Even Khan did better with Maidana.

So because he fought 3 questionable guys in 2005 and 2006, you can't take a guy seriously who's gone 18 years undefeated in the sport of boxing (including 16 years as a champ), has shown in-ring skills that are superior to anything we've seen since probably Sugar Ray Robinson, and drawn more money for boxing than anyone in the history of the sport?

And as far as Floyd calling out smaller guys... pretty much everyone Floyd fights is bigger than he is.

And do you know that back when Floyd was fighting at 130, he called out a 154 De La Hoya?

People ask me why I defend Floyd so much. I don't even like the guy, but he attracts a lot of ignorance.
