    Alvarez
    Guerrero
    Cotto
    Ortiz
    Mosley
    JMM

    Can't beat that streak of 6...

    ...and the results. If those are a factor than Floyd's resume cannot be beaten by any active fighter no matter how far back in their careers you go. Lost a combined 10 rounds through those 6 opponents, all either on the P4P list or top 5 of the division.

    dude stop speaking in truth, you are about the start world war 3 in this mofo. or they will completely ignore your post. when you come with truth they have no argument which means all they can come back with is hate,

    sad how many people claiming to be (fans) spend all their time on boxing forum spewing hate. never have i seen so much hate towards one athelete ever.

    what the haters should know is the greater you are the more hate you will have towards you. Both ali and srl had a sh!t load of hate too. but not close to the hate towards floyd

    I would put ward and froch and ward first just becasue he beat froch, but both deserve the nod for fighting tough comp. The super six line up was a tuff challenge, and since then both have gone on to fight top fighters. Froch blasted Bute and Ward blasted Dawson.

    :lol:

    Guerrero? A blown up featherweight and the same guy who quit against Yaud?
    Ortiz? Just got KTFO by feather-fisted Collazo? Prior to that lost to a journeymen?
    JMM? Cheated on the scales against a pudgy lightweight?


    The only good win on his resume is Canelo Alvarez (Cotto wasn't bad but he is clearly past his best).

    Hopkins resume is better than Mayweather, at least he fought Pavlik, Tarver, Pascal X2, Dawson X2, and Calzaghe.
