Floyd has so many dazzling performances. Which of his fights have you been most impressed by?

For me, the Arturo Gatti fight and the Juan Manuel Marquez fight are the two that impressed me most. Both times his opposition was over-matched, so it allowed me to see his talents fully. That Juan Manuel Marquez fight is the best display of counter-punching I've ever seen.

The fight versus Hatton. Why? The pressure of many people (casual mostly, who are the biggest builders of bandwagons) thinking he would lose and WANTING him to lose, especially to a WHITE breh from Europe, it seems like the world (except us brehs) was against him, the pre fight hype was DOPE! Anyway, the way Floyd systematically broke Hatton down was masterful. Hatton was relentlessly applying pressure from the start even to when he got KO'd, Floyd showed that he could fight going backwards, his footwork and ring generalship was ill. Those lead rights and jabs to the stomach Hatton ate are what did him in. I feel he forced Floyd to dig down in his arsenal and use that check hook. That fight right there I thought was the topping on the cake in how I regarded Floyd as a fighter, until he rebounded with force vs. Shane.

Yup to quote Brother Naz "You put a 147 pound bull or gorilla in front of Shane and he will ko him".

He fought Mosley after his most impressive win, got hurt bad recovered and proceeded to walk him down with zero fukks given. :wow:

When I re-watch that fight and I remember seeing it live....that part was/is still fukking shocking. Those two rights Floyd got caught with would have been end of the night for most 147lbers. Then he starts beating the shyt out of Shane the next round? :mindblown: My bytch from those days was a Floyd hater and was expecting Shane to get the KO. Well then Floyd happened :myman:
