    There's no changing yours either.

    I'm being objective. Most analysts have him 20-25 atm. You + other floyd haters are too blinded by your hatred.

    I don't just blindly follow what analysts say what they say isn't iron fact it's debatable and open for debate it's their opinion not what our opinion should be

    From the Boxers Floyd fought, who would you have as an All-Time Great, regardless whether they were in prime or not??

    Reason I ask is because Gatti was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. If he got in, I'm assuming a bunch of other NOT SO GREAT boxers will get in also. What would you base it on?

    HAHAH at people who talk Trout up to be an era defining fighter.

    I like the guy. Was probably one of four fans he had before the Cotto fight. But the way people talk about him solely for the purpose of an anti-Alvarez or anti-Mayweather agenda is just not cool...

    Yeah, true this.

    I would say that if "ATG" only applies to say the top 50 fighters ever, than there were no ATG's in his weight classes for him to ever fight, Pacquiao aside.

    The future Hall of Famers he beat have been among some of the most well known and defining fighters of his era: Genaro, Corrales, Castillo X2, Gatti (I don't personally think he should be in, but he is...), Oscar, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Cotto.

    Pac needs Floyd more than the other way around.

    With Pacquiao's recent efforts, Floyd doesn't really need any of those three necessarily in terms of legacy. Circumstances change and evolve.

    I would like to see Floyd "dare to be great" and take a step up, but that's just the fan in me. He doesn't need that for an already solid foundation towards a great legacy. But if he did something like that, it could be a potential amplifier.
