Above are examples of career defining fights. If you are saying Fliyds best win if against a 39 year old fighter, who had 5 losses at the time who went 1-3-1 in his next 5 fights it says a lot about his legacy.

Again I'm not saying he's not a great fighter. It's just a shame he refuses to fight fighters that people give a chance against. Just to show the chances bookies gave him

Opened a 1/4 fav v Canelo (80% chance of winning) this went off bigger with money coming for Canelo.
Opened 1/12 v Guerrero (92% chance of winning)
Opened 1/8 v Cotto (88% chance of winning)
Opened 1/10 v Ortiz (90% chance of winning)
Priced around 1/8 to beat Khan (88% chance of winning)

None of the above are competitive.
He fought a prime Corrales and Castillo. He wanted to fight Shane way back when...but Shane refused...that is a FACT. Arguing resumes is tricky. Floyd is in a position where he has freedom about who he fights...that is a position ANY fighter would love to be in. He earned that. He just fought a young, upcoming superstar that was the bigger man...a fight A LOT of people thought would be competitive. And please lets not forget that he offered Pac the fight a few years back...but Pac refused because of drug testing.
