    Isn't that logic flawed? Are you saying no one can EVER surpass the greats from days gone by?

    Not really possible, but beating Cotto, Pac, Martinez and Alvarez over the next couple of years would be a great end to his career. Who knows, maybe Floyd will surprise us all and carry on fighting for quite some time. I think he could certainly manage it.

    I wonder what a 40 year old Floyd fighting at 160 would be like?

    Alvarez comes with the caveat of him remaining undefeated after beating legit opposition - and in the process becoming a superstar.

    :lol: that aint ****, does have to win or not ?
    for me ifi he beats pac and martinez at 160 he can retire the best that ever did it in his era.which he still is anyway.

    Cotto
    Pacquiao

    Title at 160-preferably Martinez...

    Maybe 1-2 other fights but for the most part-those 3 names get him MUCH DEEPER into the conversation of GOAT.
