    Didn't face a ATG in their prime at their optimal weight either.

    Out of FORTY NINE fights, as well? That say's more about Floyd's weak resume than his 3 decades of being undefeated.

    And in what decade did he complete fully?

    Wasn't the 90's as he turned over in '96.
    Wasn't the 00's as he took '08 off.
    This decade he'll retire.

    So, yeah, he hasn;t gone 3 FULL decades undefeated. He hasn;t even done one decade where he has been active throughout it to be fully undefeated.

    You picked #48 to beat PBF then after the fight were full of excuses. You don't know **** about boxing and are a troll. Please don't address me again.

    Thank you

    1) So which decade did Floyd fight EVERY YEAR that makes him undefeated in that decade?

    2) Which ATG did he beat, in their prime, at their optimal weight?

    I'll be waiting...

    NONE are ATG's in their prime at their optimal weight - NOT ONE.

    HOF'ers and ATG's are like night and day in difference.

    Carl Froch? HOF.
    Calzaghe? ATG.

    ATG is too high of a bar for Floyd :lol:
    Did he beat ANY HoFers at their prime at a proper weight?
    Maybe a couple if you stretch it...:tired

    This is it.

    People get ATG & HOF twisted so badly.

    Beating an ATG at their optimal weight in their prime, to me, is beating someone like Marvin Hagler - at MW - in the early 80's.

    Beating a HOF'er is like beating Carl Froch - as Kessler did - a few years ago.

    See the difference?

    Boxing is prize fighting.SRR is undisputed GOAT for me,and even he fought for $$ mainly.the purses were only way smaller.i bet most ATG's from past would have followed the path of Floyd,Pacquaio(yes,or what you Call zombie Margarito,Rios,Algieri etc) and now Canelo,Cotto and many more will come. If the purses would be so big as now.they simply had to fight so often,and nowadays you fight1-3times a year.and losing affects your purses.

    Boxing is now different ballgame..

    Just accept and move on.only way
    to correct this is to make boxing sometype of league.where you have to fight 5-10 Times a year.against the best(not every fight) then we would see some new SRR possibbly or Armstrong,Langford,Pep etc...

    Now the world runs around $ .you can see it other sports too.example like Bryant max contract.take the minimum,and try to win(as he claims he want 6th ring)with the max contract and in Lakers it's impossible.so Kobe and many more others care $ than having best legacy possible.

    Oh I know man, I was agreeing with you :good
    Floyd has never fought an ATG at those conditions, maybe a couple HoFers...

    His fans like who? I haven't seen one person in this thread make that defence.

    Only exciting fighters can be great? I know it's all subjective but damn. He's more of a finesse defensive fighter and I don't think that should be held against him. It's an unfair standard to apply.
    Wow...
    Nobody said it's better to beat women than have *** with underage girls... They only pointed out the hypocrisy. How the hell did you come to that conclusion anyway?
