Exactly! He made a whole damn song about it. And he’s my niqqa but he’s wrong in this situation. They questioned his opposition back then when he could’ve fought better fighters. He literally fought a damn COP. What cops Floyd fought in the peak of his career?? None.

- Thread starter Stick Up Kid
- Start date
Yeah his competition was being questioned in real time.
However, he is likeable and went on to lose 9 more times after the Ruiz fight, so all is forgotten
Ducking is a strong word. Wanting the odds in his favor is probably more accurate. But im pretty sure thats where managers and promoters come in isnt it? Cant always put that on the fighter. Managers do what they can to protect their fighters from potential Ls.
The thing is I don’t think anyone cares anymore, because how his career ended. If you’re an ATG fighter, you should be effective past your prime.
His career post prime was embarrassing.

Floyd should have made that fight.
As floyd was allegedly better at fighting tall fighters than most in history. In his weight class. If you go by most boxing pundits ideas.
of mayweather versus opposition.
Floyd's issue is. Floyd is a top flight nepo baby in an era. After the school systems changed. Plus draft laws came into effect.
to remove boxing being taught damn near anywhere. So floyd is a by product of an era.
where there was not much talent. Yet floyd did everything to not face opps. When floyd could have.
Yet floyd also got his payday from insider training.
on the last gen talent in dela. As dela had a conflict of interest using a mayweather corner.
Now granted the partnership is how floyd got the fight more than likely. Yet the fight is tainted from a conflict of interest. Similar to ali v holmes.
Of course you can beat ali if you were their sparing partner. You are behind the curtain and don't have to do any discovery from afar.
Same for dela v pbf turned money may.
Glad the fight happened. Yet the fight is tainted as all fukk. As all mayweather engagements. Have some odd caveat to take place.
From as far back as his hands being damaged. Maybe the caveats are generally there for others in the industry. So maybe pr may be a bit to off the chain. Given floyd was into it with former boxing promoters and using a boxing promoter in haymon. Who knows how to get things executed besides any intrepidation. With those variables and caveats turning out.
in positive box and gates figures.
So there is critique of mayweather. Yet given the circumstances of the industry of boxing. Floyd found a way around theee variables. Some i don't agree with. Yet floyd still won those encounters. So floyd is given credence by most. Yet the talking point roy brought up is supervalid. When discussing mayweather at length.

Stop..
Roy fought glen johnson sir.
The most dangerous man.
With a damaged physiology.
That is similar to going through sepsis.

THE RUIZ FIGHT
If you are dominant in boxing, or any sport for that matter, or in any facet of life actually, people will just say your competition is weak and that’s the only reason you’re successful.

After roy made and chased history.
Trying to demean roy.
for losing after damaging his body physiology is bogus.
Ain't nobody really winning after dropping that type of weight. You will never be who you were.
Roy also had the issue.
of being on the tail end of boxing being made into a nuffin sport in america. Jist like floyd lived boxing being a nothing sport.
as fsr as pool of talent. So it was no more real drawing hw fights to take. Roy could have retired a hw. Just like mayweather retired. Yet mayweather never ever put on weight to chase history or fight like roy. So trying to demean roy for his losses. Is a caveat. That mayweather really can't diss on. As mayweather never added.
or went up to do anytbing like roy did.
Roy did the fukkin impossible. Much different than anyone in history.
we saw with our own eyes.
Plus roy was cheated.
worse than anyone we saw as well.
Floyd is a great boxer of the times. given the time.
Yet roy is really a real all time great.

The Floyd hate is crazy. I don’t think Floyd ducked anybody. They were ducking him when he was young and hungry Mosley and Oscar tried to wait Floyd out it just back fired

Jmare007 x Bryan Danielson x JLova = King Ghidorah
This post needs more traction and highlights
I don’t want yall that post after this to duck this like yall claim Floyd ducks fighters
