He climbed weight and went directly to those fights. Then his haters accused him of ducking 10-20 fighters in between. Before those fighters even made any noise, Floyd always said he would retire at 30. When he did retire his haters accused him of ducking 10 fighters or so. Again, this is what we call folklore.
You say he fought Ortiz and Ghost, tbh I was VERY impressed with him fighting them both at the time he fought them. Ortiz was 164lbs southpaw volume puncher, number 2 at ww, and 10 yrs younger than Floyd.
Floyd fought him coming off the Mosley fight in which he got hurt. But MOSLEY is old. Floyd went and fought someone bigger and stronger, and more dangerous with no hesitation.
At that time Ortiz was a GREAT opponent and the absolute best outside of Pac. I was impressed with him fighting Ghost. A southpaw swarmer. Ghost has a very awkward style and he is NOT d level LOL. He is B- at least. Thats the reason Floyd changed his ENTIRE style to beat him. You know nothing about boxing or what he did to win. You thought he would be shoulder rolling in the inside like Berto. He would have lost if he did that. He did something different to win, and people like you lied and said, "It went the way I thought it would"
Im not D-Riding Floyd but Im also not going out of my way to repeat folklore and lie about Floyd. He been doing good lately and he never admitted to ducking and cherrypicking. He just said all that stuff to trash talk people like you and if anything his actions contradict ALL of those statements.
SRL and Herns did fight some of the best, but just because he fought the best dont mean he has the most skills and is the best. Floyd has the most skills and HE is the best.
Its VERRRY hard to ignore what he does in the ring, and while some of them have better resumes, it would be CRAZY to put them ahead of Floyd when we consider the fact that the skillset difference make them look like BUMS.
