Floyd's resume.

[Silkeyjoe]

Max kellerman, during his last radio show prior to going to espn, said Roy was the goat. I used to chat on the espn forum n guys there would frequently say the same. So, maybe you've never heard that, but many have said it. The point of bringing Roy into the discussion, is that he faced weak competition.

James Toney, 44-0, was ranked number 2 P4P at the time Jones fought him. Jones was ranked number 3. Toney entered as a slight fav.

This single win is far more impressive then any Floyd has.

There wasn't a James Toney in floyds division just like there wasn't a diego corrales etc in Roys division.

I love Roy.
But for longevity floyd has the better style..

Floyd could have fought Manny, JMM at the weight contracted, Hatton at light welter, Casamajor and Freitas. He also retired for a couple of years and he never fought abroad.

His biggest achievement is going up at light middle and beating Oscar and Canelo because that is his unnatural weight.

Why is it Floyd's fault those fights never happened? Other than the JMM one of course... do you REALLY think coming in on weight would have made a difference in the outcome?

The Ricky Hatton one always makes me laugh too, considering that Floyd isn't even a true WW anyway.
I've heard of weight cutting weakening fighters, but I've never heard the excuse that not having to cut weight weakened a fighter lol

Floyd haters will always go above and beyond the realms of logic.

If Floyd was not a true welter then why did he fight Hatton at welterweight? Floyd was a true welterweight that is the answer.

Why do you get hurt when people critique Floyds resume?

[Maravilla2012]

Even if almost everyone here thinks Margarito is shit when Floyd was offered 8 million to fight him (Floyd denied it) he was the most dangerous fighter in the division. That would have been a career high purse for him so it doesn't make much sense

Floyd got $8 million for fighting Baldimor who was the lineal welterweight champion at the time and Floyd was getting away from Arum. So I understand why Floyd would do what he did but never understood why he fought Judah who had already lost to Baldimor when he could have fought someone like Margarito or even Paul Williams.

I don't get hurt. If someone says something stupid, I refute it.

When people say that Hatton was somehow diminished or not at his best because they fought at 147 instead of 140, that's stupid. It's completely idiotic when you put it up against common boxing knowledge.

And as far as Floyd being a true WW, that simply isn't true. He's a true WW in the sense that he is naturally 147, but that's not how boxing works due to weight cutting. A true WW is not a 147lb guy. A true WW is around or exceeding 160lbs. This has been shown with basically every "same day weight" statistic that HBO or another network has shown. Floyd is routinely out-weighed by upwards of 10lbs pretty much every time he fights.

He was outweighed by Ricky Hatton on fight day as well.

Stop being a smart ass. Hatton really struggled at welterweight when he fought there before his fight with Floyd. Hatton best weight was light welter, he was the undisputed champion at the weight. If Floyd was not a welterweight then he would have fought him at light welter.

Crucify me if to you want but.....

.....he needs that Manny fight.

It wouldn't make much difference now.

Edit: I think Lara would get him more credit at this stage.

Tszyu at 140 would have been a nice addition

Is Floyd in a relationship with Justin Bieber?

They call those kind of relationships between a middle-aged man and a teen aged boy pederasty. Here's Floyd and Bieber before his last fight getting massaged together:

This shitting on Floyd's lodge pole is getting a little old. Antiquated to a level prior to compost. You know, objectivity shouldn't make you choke. I cant stand the dandy but that's not relevant when taking about pugilism itself. I probably would have thought Robinson was a prick also. Fact of the matter is, Floyd is the Robinson, Leonard of his era and empirical evidence supports that assertion. Sure he's slipped and had a few minor bumps in the road but so did those other two. Sure he may have not have fought a few guys depending on ones opinion but again so did the other two. People forget that this guy has been fighting for close to 20 freakin years and has been a dominant fighter and star for about 15 getting hit clean less then Pep, Locche or Whitaker. And that's just the D side. Incredible hand speed, punch selection and footwork. Best check right hook I have ever seen and since his domination of Hernandez has been the cream of the crop in every division he fought in. And to top it off, now he is paying his opponents guaranteeing I hope a much better future.

Look if people are going to continue to find fault in Floyd's resume by saying things like he should have fought Forbes across thee interweb or captain cast then chuck out an name and I'll kick the shit out of their resume.
