    He will be 45-0 and a 9 time champion(should be 10) in 5 divisions and a 4 time linela champion(cause the canelo fight would be for the ring/lineal title)
    he'd have wins over

    Shane
    Oscar
    Corrales
    Castillo
    Ortiz
    Marquez
    Hatton
    Gatti
    Cotto
    Canelo
    Guerrero
    Hernendez
    Judah


    If he pulls this off and retires and stays retired he would have to go down as a top 10-15 all time great and thats being objective,sorry no way around it..name me another fighter who would be 45-0 9 times champion and a 4 time lineal champion..that is unheard of

    10-15? No. Obviously not, anyone that doesn't have Floyd's dick in their mouth will tell you the likes of Guerrero and Canelo don't suddenly make you hang with SRL.

    SRL had multiple losses although some ATG quality wins

    Was never a 9 time world champion, 4 time lineal champion. Undefeated. Greatest Punchstat record for a fighter.

    SRL ranks ahead but Floyd deserves 10-15.

    SRL 11, Floyd 14

    Who you beat is what matters. SRL beat better fighters. So did a bunch of ATG's.

    Gotta take into account his longevity too. Other fighters have won world championship fights 15 or even more years apart. No fighter has EVER done it without sustaining a single blemish on his record, and off the top of my head, no fighter has EVER stayed undefeated over a 17-year stretch in total.

    Still not so sure about top-15 ATG though... that's a lot of great fighters you have to top...

    But he's had his fair share of losses.

    Floyd beat ATGS/HOFS his whole career. 20+ world title fights, and just can't lose.

    17 year stretch undefeated

    Beat all his contemporaries besides Pacquiao because Pacquiao ducked the **** out of him.

    Well the thing is there are no official rules regarding title lineage.
    In the case of the 154-pounders, Winky Wright was undiputed champ and left the division without losing that status in the ring, and no fighter since then has definitively estasblished himself as the man at that weight since then..

    Wouldn't Mayweather-Canelo be a good fight to re-establish the lineage? Although that only goes as long as one of them beats Trout first, i admit.

    He'll not go down as a legend, far to many *****

    He's a fine technician, But?????...see above.

    Never beat anyone as good as Duran, Hearns, Benitez, or Hagler. So it's irrational to rank him higher.
