    Ortiz - Prime
    Mosley - HOF waaaay past his prime
    JMM - HOF - GOAT - waaay small
    Hatton - HOF - alittle past his prime, but still legit
    Oscar - HOF - GOAT
    Baldomir - Really?
    Judah - HOF - legit in my eyes
    Mitchell - Really just a tune up fight
    Gatti - HOF (for taking beats not skills) who ever thought gatti had a chance

    SRL And Ali OBVIOUSLY have a MUCH better legacy than Floyd...there is NO QUESTION about that...But As I have said time, and time again..Im talking SKILLWISE...Floyd is the first PERFECT fighter...Pernell wasnt aggressive enough, and he liked to waste time slipping punches trying to be pretty...Floyd was more of a stand down fighter, he would stand and catch all of ur punches on his shoulders, and instead of avoiding and slipping like pernell, he would use that time countering, trying to make u pay!! Just move along man.

    He is already starting to get his just due. Watch the UK commentary of Mayweather Cotto. Whats it called i forgot. They would not shut up about how amazing Floyd is and how he is an all time great. As a floyd fan i was a bit annoyed because of the good work Cotto was putting in.

    Gatti? HAHAHA.... Gatti was a a warrior but just a few fights previously had been DESTROYED by Oscar. Absolutely taken apart and knocked out. Floyd fighting Oscar's left overs

    Gatti was actually washed up when Floyd fought him, but Im not talking about his quality...Im talking about how sharp Floyd was...every opponent who throws punches at Floyd will get countered, or simply miss the punch...when people speak of the gatti fight...there really speaking about THE Floyd that showed up that night...I have never seen Ali, or SRL Gatti anyone!...The skills that Floyd posses didnt exist until he was born!

    Anybody who had seen these two fight before knew what would happen in this fight. Max Kellerman stated before the fight that it was the biggest PPV mis match since Lewis v Tyson. It's easy to look good against a punching bag.

    Get Floyds balls out of your mouth. He has blatantly taken the easy risk free path. To me that is unforgivable.

    WTF are you talking about?
    He IS ranked high, but having him at top 20 ATG is blatant lack of knowledge of all the other "greats".
    I mean, please, try and write down your 20. There's no way you can fit FMJ in the middle of the Sugars, Alis, Durans, Louises, Peps and Armstrongs.

    The reason you are butthurt is because Pacquaio is ranked higher and you just can't accept that.
    Sorry but having Morales, Barrera and Marquez under your resume is something Mayweather will not be able to eclipse. Not anymore at least.

    ONE, What does Manny have to do with this?..TWO, Manny has nothing but asterisk next to almost ALL of his biggest wins...drained, coming off losses, bad decsicions...Over the hill opponents...guys 40 yrs old coming off one yr layoffs, and fixed fights where Juan O'd the guy in one round...Arum has made a Joke of pac and his resume, AND his opponents resumes...Margarito was washed up with that hand wrapping scandal...The bradley loss which was a joke....the Juan victory which was a joke....Arum has made manny a big joke...It would be BETTER if Pac Took the loss against Juan, then came back from adversity to beat bradley...but instead, its the other way around...he won against Juan when he should ave lost, and beat lost to Brad when he should have won...its just all a big media creation to draw interest and Pac is the pawn.

    I dont hate manny...he is an ATG And I dont think it was cool what happened this past weekend...but what Im saying is, he allowed Arum to make a joke of him, and his resume...its always an issue when pacman fights...I used to say pac was fake....but the guy really is a good guy, and it upset me to see him treated like a pawn that Arum uses for cash! If U think I hate pac...well I always hated him, but after what happened, I just feel sorry for the guy! But Im being real man!
