Floyd IS a great fighter, but there are questions about why he chose to fight who he did when he did and at the weight class he did. And those questions are there for ANY fighter but more especially one that considerers themselves great.

Ricky Hatton after his debacle of a performance vs Collazo at 147 showed he couldn't handle the weight

JMM after extremely tough fights with Juan Diaz and Joel Casamayor at 135 and Floyd still decided to fight him at 142

Those make me question him...prudent moves, but they allow for "what if's" to be asked. What if he fights Hatton at 140? JMM at 142 is erroneous because Floyd couldn't make 135 again and if he did he'd either keel over and die from the weight loss or just massacre JMM.
It never stops.

So why not tell us who fits this imaginary criteria then?

Violent demise seems to think margarito fits this bill so who else is not guilty of all the things and "what ifs" floyd has done?

Floyd seems to have just plodded along through the amateurs, and got lucky through the pros to get to this point through careful cherry picking and faced no challenges and cant carry durans jockstrap.

What boxer is clear of any criticism?
And from your eyes, Floyd was a man among boys in the amateurs. Whatever losses he had he was robbed in. Could of challenged for a title in his pro debut if he wanted to. Became champion at 130 and cleaned out the division. Cleaned out 135 and 140 too. Took on the top dogs at 147 and beat them all. Went to 154 and cleaned it out too. Would of clean out 160 if he wanted too. But he considers Sergio Martinez a friend. And being the swell guy he is he would never fight his friend. Should be in the HOF as an active fighter. He's that great. Him saying he is better than Sugar Ray is true. Cuz he really is. He beat him. I know he did. The haters don't realize that with all the money Floyd has, he has 2 time machines. He probably even got 3. He's gone back in time and beat all the past greats. And he's done it more than once too. That's the type of shit Floyd does in his spare time. And he still gets hated on. He could win every title on his way to heavyweight if he wanted to. He doesn't do it cuz he doesn't wanna hog up every title. He wants other fighters to be champion too. That's the type of great guy Floyd is. If he wanted to be he could be heavyweight champion. Everybody knows Floyd vs Wlad is a 50-50 fight. Yet everybody still hates on him. Never lost a round in his life. Never ducked anyone. Did time For something he didn't do. Gives out sandwiches to the homeless. And it's still not enough. Everybody always wants to hate on this saint of a man.
