What do you mean? Zab, Castillo, and ODLH gave Floyd 3 of his 4 toughest fights:dahell:
Nah I gauge fight toughness on punches landed and they weren't landing shyt on Floyd

Now Augutus that was a tough Floyd match
Ndou that muthafukker kept throwing he forced Floyd to KO him
Now Cotto was able to break through his guard

agree to disagree. how many of those fights was he REALLY threatened in or lost rounds? he lost rounds against Zab and had to fight him in a very particular way. also, I rate the Corley fight above most of those you listed. that was the worst I ever seen him hurt...much more than the Mosley fight even. the DLH fight was impressive too because he had to deal with an educated jab and struggled with it to a degree. Augustus was a good scrap but that was no threat. Hatton...told everybody before the fight what his ass was gonna get. outside of the one shot Shane landed, he did absolutely nothing. and even you say Canelo quit.

as far as Floyd showing his true measure as a fighter....I like...

Zab (basically a physical mirror of himself, something he had not been used to fighting)
Hernandez (FLAWLESS VICTORY!)
Corrales (rose to the occasion on the biggest stage and stopped a killer)
Corley (showed that he aint tryin to lose, hurt badly by former sparring partner who studied his moves)
Castillo I (showed he could take it as well as give it)
Castillo II (then showed there was no way JLC can beat him if he sticks to boxing)
DLH (the jab was keeping him from his normal potshot blowouts)


all of those fighters were in their primes or close to it like DLH, which I prefer when judging. no journey men, hype jobs, paper champs, or blown up JMWs like on your list.
pretty solid list
gotta throw in that mosley fight somewhere though
ppl were saying floyd was ducking and scared beforehand
a lesser man woulda folded during that round 2
it showed a lot about floyd that he got it threw, took offensive to getting hit, and den wiped out mosley the rest of the way

Exactly... Now that was an ugly fukking fight. shyt made Garica/Herrera look like Holyfield/Bowe.

That fight was competitive and Karim won some rounds, but he clearly lost that shyt. A draw was reaching hard as fukk. The HBO agenda couldn't be denied that night.

Firstly he aint get his ass whooped he got the last, and unfortunately whether in the ring or in the street, nikkas only remember the end and who got the last blow, and secondly he put Sergio on the shelf breh, Jr took at least 2 years off that man career, he ended Sergio's late career Prime, that was evident in Sergio's last match..........
shut the fukk up Skip
Sergio beat the ever loving shyt out of JCC JR

as crazy as it sounds...if that were to happen, I would put money on Peterson...since he would be a heavy dog. LM dont look the same after the Garcia fight. I dont know what it is....maybe making weight is taking a toll on him or maybe it was getting his face busted. Or, could it be that his weaknesses are much more glaring now. He's been Clark Kent for his last two fights.
:childplease:
Like the bullshyt when you picked Peterson for the first fight breh?
