  2. This is a pretty big myth. I’ll elaborate bc I HATE when ppl say that stuff and don’t put their money where their mouth is. Atleast you can disagree with logic this way I lay out. The reason all this matters is bc when you consider the rate at which they actually finished their fights vs relative performance in common opponents, this makes the reverse point you’re making. Oscar they fought at entirely different weight classes. Oscar hadn’t been there in nearly a decade. Re: shane, they both won the same amount of rounds unanimously. Shane found more success later vs manny whereas Shane was better early vs Floyd but Floyd swept 3-12. Ricky was made to order vs manny. An inside brawler was doomed against him. But it just be said that was teetering on his physical prime atleast vs Floyd with a combined perfect record at the time 81-0. 2 years on manny impressive laid Ricky out Cold - can’t take away from this feat but the fact that Floyd isn’t known for flatlining ppl and still dominated, cut him, then sparked him bring this closer to parity. Marquez same story as Ricky except reverse. JMM was made to order vs Floyd. He won every second of the fight easily. They could fight 10x wouldn’t have mattered just IMO. So his win over JMM is more impressive than the performance gap seen of the pair vs a common Ricky. Cotto is probably the one there’s no explanation as far as I can see. That’s the only fight manny was out of mind great - nothing new but idk of many on the planet that could compete that night. Great performance. Floyd pieced up Miguel comfortably but nothing like manny that’s for sure. Point is, all things considered Floyd’s performance vs common fighters was a wash. Floyd still dominated those fights that manny finished ppl in. Aside from some stylistic glaring advantages by both. But again they wash (Ricky and JMM) with cotto being the wild card. Tyson has not dominated in common opponents in this analogy. Not even close and that’s objectively true. But who is Tyson’s cotto? Literally they don’t have that hence why this proves the reverse point: AJs string of performances, if we use boxing maths which despite what ppl claim always works when you correctly caveat, would validate his form is too much for Tyson as it stands pre - Usyk. That can change with Usyk. Interestingly, that could very well be Tyson’s cotto honestly. I don’t even think this is the best benchmark without appropriate caveating as mentioned but if fury loses to Usyk , I bet you’re not so confident. Which would prove my point. Usyk is the stylistic clash that helps round all this out whereas currently we don’t have enough data but those 5 common fights between manny and Floyd had the full range making it a better case study. Thats how I see it atleast but idk anything.
