technically manny has the best resume among active 147 fighters
Floyd cant really count as a legacy match, as Floyd never was bested, but if we are talking Floyd opponents Chino gave Floyd the most work, had him scared looking to his daddy for encouragement, going through the motions and all.......When we thinking that way Chino still robbed fans like a muthafukker, he was a high elite level fighter......The fan in me wanted/wants to see a Manny fight....Give Floyd all hell twice and dont face his nemesis, dont understand it.......
Nah cuz back when my nikkas GGG, Thurman, and Superman were disappointing nikkas with their opponent selection, I had to hear about this guy name Bud and how skilled he was and how he was next and blah, blah, blah.
Well Bud is no longer next. He's pretty much looked as one of the top dudes in the sport, but the irony is that dude is still fighting the same level of guys that GGG,Thurman, and Superman were fighting back then. Now all 3 have better recent opponents than anybody Crawford ever fought.
I mean nikkas bytched about Roy's opponents back in the day, (you remember the media used to call him Reluctant Roy) but a guy like Clinton Woods is easily better than the Horn's and Lundys, and Postol's of the world and hardly anyone mentions Woods as a good opponent on Roy's resume.
At this rate, Bud can't lose because if he does, his legacy will take a big hit to most people, but the real nikkas will know what was up from the beginning.
Very good fighter, but manufactured for p4p lists .
Despite that fact that I was never high on Devon, he always did very well against crude fighters. He was a stylistic nightmare for guys like Urango & Maidana.
It seemed like Maidana left the game when he was really starting to put it together as a fighter. You could see him noticeably getting better under Garcia.
I’m not throwing shade at Spence. He’s fought Brook, Peterson and whoever else has been availble. Mikey and Spence I don’t see happening. I think Mikey/Swift makes a lot more sense. Arum needs to keep Loma FAR away from Mikey or its a brutal KO
I was on high on Devon....I just dont know what happened...dude has victories over some of the most dangerous punchers in the 140-147 era but his lows were really low to me
chino left boxing on a high note even in back to back defeats...most likely the money made him get up for the second floyd fight..he should have had at least a final homecoming fight...leave with a W on his record
Brook just had a career altering injury two divisions up, plus Brook was on the B side as far as skill goes with the elite Welters
And Peterson was on the shelf a whole year pre Spence
As far as Im concerned neither Brook, nor Lamont was top 10 welters, now this nikka bout to fight another corpse in Collazo......Is Spence corpse hunting
Arum in cashing out mode with Loma, he only has B class talent....Arum cant afford to stick him in their with another batch of jobbers and he end up having loma tasting canvas again......At least if Mikey wins, Mikey is p4p, and targeting a smaller fighter.....
Why do you say that about Arum and Loma? Lima’s fighting Pedraza next who he’ll easily beat. But I don’t think he’s tryna cash out Loma at all.
Mikey has a better resume than Swift and Canelo. Possibly 2nd best amongst active fighters.

Pedraza is a post injury opponent, after then Loma gets tossed into the ocean to see if he could swim....
