Has floyd fought a "good fight" in the last five years?

[DavilaJones]

Let me ask you this in turn, who in the last 5 years had a truly stellar fight record? I mean fights against people in their prime, no controversy wins or anything of the such?

I'll give you one example, Sugar Ray Robinson essentially made the Black Murderers Row famous because even he didn't want anything to do with them, he had on many occasions not even show up at the bout, he almost always tried to price himself out of many fights. But all that said and I done I don't think he fought bums or cherry picked his opponents. It's just that its their attitude gets in the way of business. Very arrogant and believing things should bend towards their will rather than towards reality and as such those previously mentioned events happen.

Long story short, no one in boxing truly has a solid resume of any kind if you look at it too deeply simply because what matters is how the man was in the fight not how he performed in the next or the one before.

I do get exactly what you mean I just still feel like he has not had enough defining fights so to speak- funny enough the only person I can think of over the lasrt five years (technically even though its not five years since he came on the scene he has still fought enough great fighters to have a considered steller record imo) is Andre Ward!

I'd argue Froch resume is as impressive, if not more (in terms of people fought, not beat and where the fight took place)

Who else could Mayweather have fought? I can't stand the guy either, but I love him as a fighter.

If he fights Alvarez in those next two fights he's planning I'll be very impressed.

Yeah Froch and Ward have impressive CV's

The Super 6 got slagged off a lot but it's done wonders for the division, i think it's on fire and the top guys are still willing to face each other after the competition has ended.

Other divisions take note.
