The dude has always been incredibly unpopular and people will hold on to anything they can to shit on him. I think the expectations were set too high, but that doesn't diminish his career achievements in any way.
1) Floyd is 44, retired, and has no obligation to perform at the level you expect from him. People get old and slow down pretty significally. If you can't understand and accept that, maybe you just don't know that much about boxing.
2) Floyd is small and hasn't been a KO artist since his mid 20's. He's also had multiple hand injuries. Why the hell were you expecting a KO against a guy 50 pounds heavier? Not that it couldn't happen, but why do you think that should be the expected outcome? Based on what? Do you think much superior skill should always translate in knockouts? It doesn't. If a guy is much bigger than you and has a great chin, he will be able to eat countless shots and survive.
3) Logan isn't just a Youtuber. He clearly has some skills and trains pretty hard. If you wanna see him against an average Joe, watch him destroy those 4 brothers like it was nothing. Sure, he isn't nearly as skilled as Floyd, but size and age can very significally decrease the effectiveness of superior skill.
4) The shocker isn't Floyd not being able to KO Logan, but the other way around. A 155 pound guy eating shots from a HW with no problem. Logan should be ashamed, not Floyd.
5) Floyd didn't look amazing, but he did outland Logan pretty significantly and even walked him down and pushed him around as if he was actually stronger. He also looked in better shape than Logan, at 44. If you can't see this as a respectful outcome given the size and age difference, you either have unrealistic expectations or you simply dislike the man and want reasons to hate on him.
The fact that Logan is proud that he didn't get finished by such a small and old guy is pretty pathetic. You should be ashamed that your supposed power amounted to nothing and you were back paddling against a grandpa who didnt even had a full training camp.
Floyd is hated even though he fought actual world champs, his size, in their prime. Imagine if his claim to fame was to survive 8 rounds with a retired fighter. Just let that sink in.
