Good post, Burner. But Floyd needs to beat more people not just Pac to be consider higher ATG than Pacquiao.
Sorry but he is too far behind Pac in that department.
Although in a head to head match I favor Floyd!!
The Mosley win is ****ted on alot. But that is a fight most people even writers never thought Floyd would take and he just walked him down and whooped his ass. That was a great win IMO.
If he just beats the utter crap out of Pac like I think he will. Then he passes him IMO. People let Pacs little surge get to their heads and actually forgot that Floyd is a 10 -Time world Champion and is undefeated through 5 weight classes. 84-6 as an AM. One of the most dominant, if not the most dominant 130 Pounders to ever lace them up in that division. Just insane in the skill department, etc.
Dude started boxing in 1996. 2 years later he was on the P4P List and been there ever since. For 11 years now. I think people forget that hes an ATG himself. Hes done alot already.
Beating Pac would be his crowning achievement. Especially if just ***s him up bad and stops him.

when did that happen because I remember Manny not being grouped with the Mayweathers of the world around March 2008 was it after Diaz? DLH? Hatton? cotto? serious question BTW

Yeah,it would be 3 great fighters but also two midgets and an old guy in a row.
Still full of **** compared to Leonard's wins over the likes of Hearns,Duran and Hagler.
Leonard over Floyd.Just to show U how Floyd ranks in my book...
Why are you even arguing with me? The man said it himself, he does not fight for legacy. It couldn't be any clearer. What the T.s talked about was floyd fighting a prime Elite Hall of Famer. Cotto, mosley a few years back and tzyu were all excellent fighters in their prime. Floyd took the easier road which has cost him a better legacy. And quit the fantasy talk. Thats what Floyd fans use to justify his greatness. In a fantasy fight he would beat Duran etc...like that means anything when distinguishing greatness.
How was Tszyu a prime fighter? I don't think a prime Tszyu would get stopped by Ricky Hatton and then retire. Before the loss to Hatton, Mayweather called out Tszyu but Tszyu didn't want to fight him.
Cotto isn't an ATG and has never shown any interest in fighting Mayweather. Mayweather called out Mosley many times when Mosley was a little younger, but Mosley didn't want to fight him until recently.
barerra vs pac 1, mab was p4p 3# consensus. he was on a 8 fight winning streak before losing to pac & had a 6 fight winning streak after pac losing only to fellow p4p top 10 marquez whom he knocked down in the fight.
mab was prime.
so was marquez who was 30 & at 126 who was p4p top 10.
so was cotto who beat jennings & top 10 welterweight cotto when pac beat him
& so was hatton who beat lazcano & malignaggi before pac beat him.
