    Just heard somebody call Mayweather a living legend and thought maybe thats abit too far but people say Toney and Hopkins are legends so why not Floyd:?

    He's a living cherrypicker

    He has a history of doing it and his future seems no different.

    Obviously yes.

    Why create a thread?

    If Floyd isn't a legend, then there's probably only a handful out there throughout time.

    He was the single best of his era. That qualifies one as a legend.

    Your intitled to your own opinion but many would have a rebuttal to that

    Yeah. Floyd is the only fighter today who's name is consistently mentioned along with the greats of all time. On a comparison to others on simply his boxing skill alone he has a case to be the best to ever do it. He's a WW who can't even make the JM weight limit and yet people want him to jump up 2 weight divisions just because it heightens the chance of him suffering a loss. Has any boxer in the history of the sport ever been held to those types of ridiculous standards. I mean damn! When the bar is set that damn high how can he not be considered a living legend?

    In the old days the majority of hall of famers your referring to didn't duck guys and play games to this degree
    and theres a reason why millions of Hispanic and whites/euro people and even a fair amount of unbiased black people feel the same way about Floyd




    Khan vs Floyd next when theres Matthysse, Garcia, Thurman, Broner and many more better options plz

    He is far from the best in his era. If he'd had a set of balls to match his natural talents then maybe he could have been a true living legend.
    Real legends dont cherry pick they fight all comers. Floyd sadly is just a wannabee /coulddaabeen:patsch
