It is more that from a fan's perspective, I want to see Floyd challenged. I'm bored seeing him fight smaller men so he can showcase his skills.
Undefeated Diego Corrales comes to mind.
Diego Corrales? Really? He was taller, but bigger? I'm not so sure. Either way, the Corrales fight occurred 8 years ago. So, in his career, Floyd has fought
two bigger men. One of which is arguable. I'm sorry but there is a point there. Hopefully, we'll see him fight more.
Corrales weighed more on fight night than PBF......
Baldomir has a much bigger frame than PBF. I'm sure that won't count for you for some reason. Who are we comparing this too anyway? Who has consistantly fought bigger guys ?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
