If you haven't already noticed by my avatar or some posts,I am not a Floyd fan for this exact reason. He has had the history of selecting his way thru the rankings/divisions and usually skipped the best possible opposition while doing it. Go scan boxrec and see his various title wins. Look at the date he fought and then go look thru the list of fighters who were still viable at that date. Most of those guys he "skipped",a trick Mosley has done as well but thats another story. When he fought some of the actual best,at their proper weight and age,the fights were disputable and most already know which fight I am speaking of in particular. His true biggest wins have come over the smaller,older or not mature enough fighters. I can't say has ALWAYS done so but a 50% ratio is TOO much. Just my opinion.
I once was a Floyd fan until I started noticing this pattern. It,mixed with his personality were just too much of a turn off as a fan for me.
Judah was mentioned here too. Floyd didn't beat Judah,Zab beat himself just like he always does excluding the Cotto fight where he was simply bested in his best performance focus-wise.
