    A Top 100-150 ATG

    Avoided Floyd at all costs

    Pacroid.

    He loses to most 130's/135's/140's/147's in the history of boxing, everyone knows this.

    Was never overwhelming.

    Duran/Whitaker/Floyd/Arguello/Pryor/Cervantes/Hearns/Leonard/SRR/Chavez/Lamotta etc etc all beat the crap out of him.

    I don't know a single 8, 6, 4, or even 3 weight world champion from ******'s stable (I don't count wbo titles but even if I did...)
    felix sturm is a two weight world champion, not sure why he was mentioned.
    guerrero champ at feather and super feather plus 2 interim titles. Even if you count those that's still only half the titles were talking about. Hearns and leonard and duran had a bunch each are are rightly proud of their achievments but I ask the question again...
    why isn't everyone doing it?

    ? When have I ever been a *******?

    I never deleted anything, I said he could beat Algiri/Brook, and that's a fact.

    Show me where I made edits/deleted anything, show me the thread. :roll:

    One of the greatest fighters of his era. Some terrific wins, especially Barrera I stands out. Been in tremendous fight. Had an incredible, almost unbelievable run between 2008 and 2010. Went waaay above his weight class. Fought almost everybody.

    I think top 50 all time P4P is a lock. Might be a bit higher. Depends on what will happen in the next few years. There are still things he could do to increase his ranking dramatically. Like beating Floyd or becoming the Undisputed MW champion.

    The greatest fighter of his generation and one of the greatest fighters of all time. That is already settled and inked as far as I'm concerned, anything more he does only adds improvements to what's already confirmed and settled.

    The second best fighter of his era. Something truly special. His weight jumping is amazing. He will be remembered for his leaping up the weight classes.

    I'd be more interested in seeing where he stacks h2h vs the best feathers not the best welters he was a terror 122-130

    Best thing he did was come to the us and beat the Mexican trio

    Everything above 135 has been a massive cherry on top

    Had he retired after David Diaz at 135 that's still 5 titles in 5 weights

    He was an all time great before the jump to fight De La Hoya

    Best fighter of his era. Floyd is second best since he has been running from a pinoy ass whipping for the past 10 years. Now floyd is the real thing but you got to keep it real.:rasta
