Floyd's Potential

[MoneyMay1]

My dad is 60 years old and has been watching boxing all his life. He's watched Ali in his prime, Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, etc..

He said he thinks Floyd might just be the greatest that ever lived, or at least he has the potential to be. If he cleans out the WW division.. Do you think he can go down as the greatest to ever step into a ring? I think he can...

Thoughts?

No, because the fights that could've really tested him are gone. PAC maybe, but, this new Floyd is alot stronger now with the same technical brilliance and speed, I don't know, we'll have to wait and see how PAC deals with Cotto's power and strength.

The only serious threat to Floyd is P-Will, but I honestly don't see how that guy can come back down to 147lbs. And I don't think Floyd would even give it a second thought, he would never fight that 84 inch freak.

PWill is not a natural WW. I don't think he'll be making 147 anymore. I do think if Floyd beat Pac, and Mosley there would not be any doubt about who the greatest boxer of this generation is. How does he stack up against the ATG's?

your dad sees like all of us, floyd looking great against subpar opposition. theres a reason why ali, duran, hagler, hearns, leonard, etc all have losses on their record and didnt look as good as floyd, they fought all the best competition in their careers. cant say the same for floyd. floyd will never clean out the ww division. he didnt come back for that, he came back for a couple big money fights.

I'm not talking about that. I'm saying if Floyd got motivated, and decided he wanted to prove something. If he cleaned out the competition in the WW division, would he be at the top of the ATG list?

if he cleans out the welterweight division and maybe fights champion or two at junior middleweight, i dont see why not. Because if he cleans out the welterweight division he will be in the talks of being one of the greatest boxers if not the greatest but if he beats some champions at junior middleweight it will be almost undisputable. I mean why do you think its so hard for mosley to find a fight at ww. Only big name opponents out there are mayweather,cotto, mosley and pacquiao (catch-weight). If floyd beats a champion at JM its obviously a much bigger dude. And it's all possible.

[cyutetrick]

but then again due to somewhat of a lack of big names at 154 he might have to fight at middleweight. just ask pwill when he hung around at 154 for really just one fight (he was 157 vs andy kolle). he might even have to beat pwill to be goat, i mean i know im being tough but you are talking about the g.o.a.t title.

no matter who he defeats, no one would ever give him that honor unless he was dead or terminally diseased.

[Ekscape]

If Floyd beats three of these five he's definetly in the top 5 dead or alive: Pacquiao, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Berto

Yeah you gotta be tough on this subject.. I mean, what does he hafta do? If he gets motivated I think he can be unbeatable.. He was a small WW but he's got bigger and is a natural WW. The possibilites are endless.
