Why dont any of you give floyd credit

[DiegoFuego]

if floyd had stayed at 130 and kept on fighting his no. 1 contenders then he'd get as much love as kostya.

kostya didn't jump to 147 just because there was an easy belt there and then not fight his no. 1 contender.

you **** on kostya but yet floyd fought kostya's leftovers. doesn't make sense.

I give him all the credit for what he did up until 140lbs and above......

He never faced real challengers or threats and didnt unify when he propbably could have....and besides, his attitude ***in sucks and he acts like an *******.........

so you admit to being a woman then? haha enjoy your soap operas ****

[Left Hook Tua]

Kostya Tszyu is a joke. He never left 140 to fight guys 25 pounds bigger than him. What a *****. One weight champion. What a joke. Anybody can achieve that.

yeah......he should've jumped to 147 and fought guys like sharmba , zab and hatton.

your point of view on this subject is a joke.

? what are you talking about?

[Left Hook Tua]

yes, because guys who stay at one weight class and never step out of their comfort zone deserve more credit than guys who keep moving up.

do you know what all the all time greats have in common?

they kept moving up and kept winning.

so marvin hagler wasn't an all time great?

Comparing Kostya Tszyu to Marvin Hagler will undoubtedly be the funniest thing I hear on this forum all day, so thanks

? what are you talking about?

the guy said he doesn't consider Floyd great because he's an arrogant prick. I appropriately called him a ****. you rate guys based on what they do in the ring, not outside of it.

a 5 division champ with no losses and no close fights (except for one where you fought with a hurt shoulder for 11 rounds) is an all time great any way you cut it and something that's never been witnessed in boxing

[mellow_mood]

floyd is the king of the 135 and below weight division!

I know it may hurt some of you... but... it is what it is..

[RL_GMA]

I don't discredit Floyd as a fighter, you'd be dumb to.

IMO though I also don't think he's peaked as a fighter by cleaning up 130-135lbs division and having 2 big money fights there after.

If he chooses to never fight again (which i doubt), he won't be held as high as some of the other fighters in his generation simply because the lack of risk after winning his biggest fight to date (Oscar).

Some even put Marciano in the same predicament, heralded as one of the great heavyweight of all time, but arguably with a padded undefeated record.

[DiegoFuego]

The difference is Marciano never took on a legit prime opponent in his entire career

Floyd's wins over Corrales and Castillo are better than anything Marciano ever accomplished

did i compare those 2?

you said staying in one division is a joke and all time greats don't do it.

i brought up one all time great that did.

don't jump around 'cause you can't back up your ****.

back up your ****.

did floyd fight the best above 135?

problem with floyd is he claims to be the best at 147.

if he just went up to 147 and then go back down it would've been fine.

he isn't a natural 147 guy anyway.

but he didn't do that. he grabbed belts at 147 and never fought the best fighters in that division. i don't mind him fighting oscar and ricky those guys were money but don't say you're the best at 147 when he hasn't proved it. he never even proved he was the best at 140 for god's sake.
