    i have him top 10 without question, in all my years i had never seen a talent like him,,
    he is the ONLY fighter ever to have it ALL. and i mean ALL, nothing lacking except for some he could have been blessed with more power. ( those are people who dont know sh!t )

    in his first FEW weight classes he had great power but going all the way to LMW NO ONE is going to have 1 punch ko power, especially when you're consistently fighting the best in each and every division.

    go ahead and try to say he hasnt fought the best in each division, he might've skipped 140 for bigger and better fights but champs at 140 refused to fight him.

    his last 4 fights will have 2 top fighters, and canelo is goin going to prove he is a HOF talent and will be HOF fighter just wait and see

    You really need to watch more fights, especially those of prior generations if you think Floyd has it all. He has an impressive set of skills, nobody can deny that, but he avoids any fight that could result in him actually having to fight, as opposed to box his way to victory.

    Right now I'd say he's in the 25-35 range, but as you can read, many have him outside of this range because of his lack of opposition, which is largely of his own making. Should have fought Pac 3-4 years ago if he wanted to really make a splash, and/or GGG now.

    The only fighter in boxing history to have his health come first and call himself a coward.

    It's hard to tell when he's still active but if he stopped fighting tomorrow I would have him around 24-25.

    Manny talks to reporters about his legacy, proving he can still fight (which I find funny) and having a killer instinct. We all know he can still fight, but their is a difference between being able to fight still and showing compassion in the ring. Manny needs to cut that crap out. I ain't forking over 70 bucks on a PPV card to be nice to someone in their.

    Whether he ducked fights or not nobody truly knows imo but the perception is that he ducked Pacquaio and a few others. I blame both parties for the super fight not happening but perception rules the day and the perception is that Floyd ducked Manny which I don't think is fair, I blame both.

    You make a good point.

    I understand Manny's compassion, that respect he has for fellow warriors, but when Rios was finding it all a little hard to stomach in the last round Manny should have pressed on instead of backing up and finished him.

    He'll always have a loyal fan-base, but he could've done with a knockout victory in his last outing.
