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?
