My point is that the old time boxers did not pick and choose. Floyd does and he is good in the ring and he makes money. Floyd has fought quite a few opponents that were on the way out and so did other champions but he hasn't been in a situation wherein he can say that those punches hurt or he hurt me bad. By the way does he go out and buy his toilet paper or does he get it delivered by the truckload every week? P.S. Floyd had not fought enough or fought good enough opponents to earn the title great. He's got the tools but better than some of the all time greats? He's got to do it the old fashion way to get that title, he's got to earn it.
No truer words.
