He could've also helped himself out by fighting Margo instead of Mitchell and fighting Cotto after the Hatton fight. He does that, and there really is nothing to compalin about in terms of his career. I still think he's somewhere in the top 50 or so all time. He could definately be in the top 25 if he had wins over Margo, Mosely, Cotto, as well as an undisputed crown at 147.

And basically the reason why there is something to "complain" is because his talent is so high that you expect more from him. If he was a little bit more of an average fighter we'd all be satisfied with what hes done to this point, but hes not - and he certainly doesn't carry himself like an average fighter either. I seriously love watching Floyd fight, not only because he portrays himself as the 'villian', but because at this point he'd have the ability to build a real legendary career...And we don't get to see those all to very often.
