    I think in the OP you are being totally unfair to Manny. You have to really stretch to so dismiss his opposition so readily and then minimise his achievements. Your are weighting your response to compensate for what you think is a slight against Floyd.

    Fair enough, what in particular was unfair in what I said?

    The term "Floyd leftover" is highly pejorative. He did not finish them or make the job any easier for Manny. In many cases Manny did what Floyd could not.

    Well what I meant by "leftovers" is that Floyd beat them first. The significance of a win against a certain fighter varies on when the win happened in that fighter's career: a win over Ali in 1971 means more than Ali in 1979, ect.

    So when I say that Hatton is a Floyd leftover, it's not to say that a win over Hatton is meaningless, but for FLoyd to beat a 43-0 Hatton at the pinnacle of his career means more than Pac's win over a Ricky Hatton who had been beaten and had been shuffling around with different trainers and at the end of his rope.

    Great win, but Floyd was there first.
