jmm did better in 1 min than floyd in 12rds. and that was in a level playing field against a prime pac.
How can you say that? Floyd fought his chief rival of his era, the one many said he was scared to fight and completely controlled him from start to finish. What does he have to do to get ranked higher?
I just don't see how he's not right around where WHItaker is ranked. FLoyd has won around 10 fights against HOF fighters, has won around 25 title fights, he's beaten the other great fighter of his generation who just so happens to be a FOTD winner and he's marching his way onto being 50-0. He's had an incredibly long reign and there's a pretty good chance he can meet Cotto in the fall for his MW title. That would give him 5 lineal championships and make him the only other guy besides Duran to venture up from 130 and win the MW championship (I don't count DLH winning a trinket title against Sturm, especially since I thought Sturm won that fight.) That could essentially make him the lineal champion in 3 weight classes SIMULTANEOUSLY. We're now venturing into Henry Armstrong territory. A guy whose been universally ranked as a top 10 P4P fighter since 1998. The achievements are quite incredible.
pacs resume is still miles better tha floyds floyd cant change that now too many prime fighters missed
floyd actually regressed with the tainted victory. but usada and vegas went up few notches in the list. masterful job.
I rank on h2h. Floyd would most likely be amongst my top 10 when he retires. Pac amongst my top 25. both were physically better as SFW fighters but both have greater ring IQ as welterweights. Haven't done a list for a while and I don't include active fighters.
Floyd will never be a top 10 fighter he is behind manny dudes he is s top 30 to 50 fighter he is behind guys like Leonard,Duran and many more
Pacquiao is a top 20 fighter. Wins over prime Bradley, Barrera, Marquez, Cotto, Hatton, Ledwaba, Sasukul. Mayweather wins over prime Hatton and Corrales and arguably green Canelo. It's a whitewash.
Top 10. greatest of an era Undefeated Wins over just about every significant fighter of the era Best defense ever 5 weight division champion Definitely top 10.
