In boxing I'm so used to seeing guys get hit and rocked like that and start to fold mentally. Floyd doesn't even show pain or worry on his face, he just walked to his corner with a cocky grin on his face, made the adjustments, and wrecked Mosley's shit.
He has supreme natural athletic ability. He has forgotten more about boxing technique than most fighters will ever know. He has heart, composure, discipline. Mentally strong.
Yet people always balk at the though of him being mentioned with the legends of the sport.
I don't want to start a debate on where Floyd's place in history is. But what do guys like SRR, SRL, Ali, Duran, Pernell, Pep, Armstrong, ECT ECT ECT have that Floyd does not?
Someone needs to explain why he doesn't deserve to be mentioned with ATGs, because I don't understand it.
The guy is a living legend, and with the decline of boxing as it is, we'll probably never see a fighter like this again.
