IMO Floyd has been very fortunate in his timing

yes he picked his opponents very well and if the fans had picked his opponents then his record would have been very different

I reckon the only fights that might have happened about the time they did may have been Oscar, hatton, alverez, certainly after he moved up through the weights

but I think he has been luckiest with the climate of boxing, 20 years ago there were only a hand full of countries who were really taken seriously and that meant America had many fighters at the top

nowadays America are thin on the ground with prize fighters, most of their top athletes going to other sports

floyds style in the past wouldn't have attracted fans at any time, America needed that champion tho and as a result he was catapulted much higher than he wold have ever have been in the past
