I'm onboard, I'd like for him to retire. I think he's becoming irrelevant anyway.

No thy are not-ppv sales in other forms sports or entertainment-pro wrestling 1 example-sales are down. Sales are trending down in boxing and ppv's are fewer than in the past. Boxing isn't as big in the US anymore. SO its hard to be sure someone else will come along and top what he did.
No I don't-you just are exaggerating my points as a way to avoid them.
Perhaps fans of neither boxer are tuning in to what appears to be a fight where Floyd can be beat?

So for fans of his like yourself he will be remembered as the greatest of his time.
For most in the middle he will be remembered as possibly the best of his generation, along with manny queue a sigh of 'pity they never fought to decide it once and for all' many will claim that pac was better.
And for many more he will be remembered for 'health comes first'

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostYears ago, the prevailing thought was SRL ducked Pryor. Some still believe that. When aaron was asked a few years going back about what happened, he gave an honest answer that those in the know already knew-that he turned down an offer. I envision the same thing happening assuming Manny truly is saved and gives an honest answer.
As time passes and people like Roach and Manny (and BOb should Manny ever leave him) tell the truth, things will change, same as above.
He beat Hagler, hearns, Benitez and Duran. LolLast edited by HeGotPacProblem; 10-17-2014, 09:21 AM.

We really don't need to debate this. The numbers are what they are.
Originally posted by House of Stone View PostUnless they actually fight (and even if they fight at this stage of their careers as they are past prime) it will never be clearly stated that floyd was the best of his generation. For every person that says he was there will be another that labels him as a ducker.

SRR is still considered the greatest of all time even though he didn't fight Burley. Only those very petty fans that want their guy to be #1 harp on that. Same thing here.
The ducker label is a popular one here on NSB. it's in response to Floyd being rated and ranked higher than Manny everywhere, including here. Manny fans, while internet experts, are not powerful enough to change the way boxing as a whole remembers its best fighters.
That would be like me arguing most people will remember manny for not taking PED testing. Only the very pettiest of people will use the mental energy to remember either fighter in this fashion.

He Is a good boxer, but no where near the best ever, he just doesn't have the resume to qualify.

That's why I have chrismart25's thread in my sig. Its clear in this vote he is-he is ahead of roy, bhop, and manny. Is what it is dude.

You can say they ducked Joe schmoe all you want...they still faced the greats in their prime. Like i said you are cherry picking their resumes, like when you picked out SRL.
How come you didn't mention how Floyd never fought Paul williams, sergio, Margarito?Last edited by HeGotPacProblem; 10-17-2014, 09:41 AM.
