sugar Ray Leonard would have KOed Floyd Jr.

Ok I'm gonna have to link you to a thread I made with DOCUMENTED PROOF that Floyd CONSISTENTLY called out top, elite guys for the better part of that decade.

Everybody loves to run their mouth and talk about Floyd like he ducked and dodged his whole career, but when I presented DOCUMENTED PROOF, cold-hard facts, video evidence, ect, all the Floyd haters were nowhere to be found.

Included:

-Video of him calling out Prince Naseem (when they were similar weight and Price was a top p4p guy), Casamayor, Frietas, Paul Spadafora, JLC, Kostya Tyszu (when he was the best, before he lost to Hatton), Shane Mosley and De La Hoya.

-Video of Shane putting the kabosh on any talk about fighting Mayweather

-Documented proof of Floyd calling Mosley out in '99 and 2006 (right after Mosley KO'd Vargas).

-Documented proof of Floyd calling Oscar De La Hoya out in 2003, where he offered to jump from 135 to 154 and fight him (a fight that DLH turned down).

What more could the guy do? Don't shit on Floyd for not fighting these guys, because they guys wouldn't get in the ring with him.

Floyd has no confidence in his abilities? He called out Oscar in 2003 (shortly before the Mosley loss) and offered to jump up THREE WEIGHTCLASSES to fight him. This isn't rumor, this is documented, complete with screenshot. Even Floyd's dad said it was suicide, but Floyd was willing to do it to make the fight happen. And DLH wouldn't get in the ring with him.

Fast forward 4 years when DLH finally decides to fight Mayweather and loses, and all of a sudden Floyd is a pussy for fighting DLH when he's old and washed up. It's nonsense.

Floyd doesn't instill fear; all fighters would take the shot for the big payday.

What matters is that for 8 years, the most challenging match-ups for Floyd didn't happen.
Basically all of them were ripping each other apart circa 2002-2010; Floyd's the odd man out in the mix of the best prime fighters fighting the best prime fighters.

Obviously he was good, but he played with Boxing so long, we'll never know how good.
At 37 years old and past his prime with slower reflexes, he's still too much for current top prime fighters like Alvarez, Guerrero, and Ortiz, so that's saying something.

It seems he's going the Roy Jones route by fighting the toughest opponents only after he's past his own prime?
