    Truth hurts, I know.

    By the way, Marquez is overrated. How can you have a guys number if you fail to defeat him three times? :blood

    Wlad Klitsckho isn't actually all that good.

    As regards Naseem Hamed, I'd stick Chris Eubank above him in terms of the greatest British boxer we had.

    You're right about Ricky Hatton (YT his weigh in before the Floyd fight to begin with, pandemonium).

    Mayweather, if he can (it'll never happen that fight, by the way) stay out of Pac's combinations will do the job on points.

    Tyson in prime would murder prime Lewis.

    Pac gets stopped by prime mosley and oscar and loses to floyd by domination

    Floyd has the greatest defense of all time and is unbeatable by anyone in history

    haye lost vs wladmir because of his toe

    klitscho bros are sh!t

    martinez is the most overrated fighter of this era.

    solis would of beat vitali is his legs never got injured.

    calzaghe lost to hopkins and would have many loses if he left the valley of wales and fought prime fighters before there 40th birthday.

    ward is gone a retire undefeated.

    In bold : I agree.

    Mayweather's defence, the greatest of all time? Have you seen Sweat Pea?

    The second quote about him being able to defeat any fighter in History, is controversial to say the least.

    Marquez is so good at combination punching and in exchanges, i believe toe-to-toe is good for him. I know he gets caught but his popularity would sky rocket

    Cotto is a better boxer than barrera, just didn't have barrera's defense

    Iron mike's defense specially the head movement was phenomenal early in his career, but he fell in love with his power

    In their primes, morales beats marquez with knockdowns included, marquez pummels barrera, and barrera obsviously beats morales.

    Pac KOs prime naseem hamed quickly, jmm beats qnd KOs naseem

    At 122, morales beats pac in a close fight, but pac beats barrera by decision.

    If castillo was still around (i mean ar his prime) when jmm got to lightweight, bye jmm!

    Corrales-castillo I is an early stoppage

    The best check hook ive ever seen is from castillo knocking out corrales in the second fight

    Pac beats vargas at ww, but not the steroid-pumped dela hoya broke down.

    If vargas had a better trainer and allowed to grow slowly, he would've KOed trinidad.

    Oscar's chin is the best in the business, even among active fighters today.

    Mayweather is known for his boxing skills and defense, but he is a conditioning and physical specimen first before a boxer

    Kirkland has a very good chance at beating Alvarez.
    Khan was never as good as people were making out. He was improving slowly under Roach, but he never showed drastic/worthy opponent of Mayweather or Pacquiao improvement.

    Amir Khan is seriously over rated and would lose to a lot of fighters at 147 if he moved up! May, Pac, Alexander, Cotto, Ortiz and Bradley to name a few!

    Amir Khan has the best chance of beating Mayweather than any active boxer.
    Yes he looks average against pressure fighters but he doesn't lose a round against anyone that tries to outbox him. Amir Khan would beat Mayweather on points. (Side note he is not the better fighter, as mayweather woud destory perterson and maindana without losing a round) But IMO Khan beats Mayweather.

    Gurrero - Has the 2nd best chance of anyone in the sport to beat mayweather right now.

    In 30 year time looking back Roy Jones will be a top 10 ATG. Manny will be a top 15ATG. Floyd will be top 30ATG. (depending on future results)

    Another one. Khan has not improved at all over roach. He's improved slightly with experience. But watching earlier fights of han, you could argue he looked better then, than he does now
