It was the gatti fight that people started really hating Floyd ( the white boxing fans) dlh fight pushed him into mainstream hate boy was too swagged out and cocky for them.

lol thats the most ridiculous thing.
manny and flloyd have single handedly kept boxing relevant. ask the casual fan what boxers he knows. probably only these two.

@ some of the irrational manny hate in hereon a different note, isn't it ironic that when floyd was at his most exciting he was also not that popular with casual fans
Floyds' resume isn't as strong as Manny's lets be reality for a second..
hope this doesn't start a stan war
The only person missing is Manny.
How has this thread gone 4 pages and no one pointed the arbitrariness of being a "first-ballot HOF"?
Unless the OP is mistaken, this dude isn't saying that the two aren't Hall of Famers...just that they don't deserve the prestige associated with being a "first ballot" inductee.
And after 2-3 years, no one gives a shyt which athlete went in on which ballot.

Manny is HOF by default, but Floyd is a shoe in during any era. My only knock on Manny is that he took the cheap route to his "8 division titles". It burns me that Cotto couldn't defend his 147 belt at 147. And for hardcore fans, the round robin with JMM, Barrera, and Morales was good enough to have HOF consideration. Its a tough truth that Manny didnt become the guy he is now until he was promoted as the guy who can beat Floyd...
And I'm confused by people who say Floyd wasn't on the mainstream radar prior to the ODLH fight. Oscar fought everyone imaginable during his era and it wasnt until he fought Floyd, did he do record numbers. That's not possible for someone who nobody knows. Floyd was self made way before the Oscar fight.

Perfect example of a "journalist" saying something to get attention rather than making a logical & insightful statement about the sport he is being paid to cover.
