    How do you cherry pick world champions and ATG'S???

    Could Khan, Thurman or any of the other chumps being mentioned beat Cotto, Canelp, Pac etc...

    Just look when he fought em ..I mean Berbick beat Holems beat Ali the former how champion of the world when he was shot and past his best anyone holding that win in high regard ?

    I mean Gatti was a belt holder and in the HOF who celebrates that win when most fighters who beat him before didn't have their legacies elevated but now its a Monumental achievement because Floyd beat them:lol:


    Same with Maidana he was a belt holder who did he beat to win his belt ?Broner was Maidana a great champ ? I always love this arguement that he beat all these world champions yet most of these guys he beat who were champs at the time weren't even the best guys in the division but because they had a belt it meant something sorry but not in this water down era where belts are handed out like candy !

    victor ortiz was world champion at one point. so was malignaggi. that being said, floyd beating a bunch of world champions means absolutely nothing

    1 wants to give friend a pay day 2 Berto is a come forward action fighter like Guerrero, Maidana, Ortiz which compliments Floyd's cautious do nothing defensive style and keeps fans interested while offering Floyd no challenges or surprises 3 Berto is also a Haymon fighter 4 Floyd wants an easy fight coming off of Pacquiao

    My favorite example of a young dude knocking over old legends is Brian Nielsen. He went 49-0 and has victories over James Smith, Tony Tubbs, Carlos de Leon, Larry Holmes, and Tim Witherspoon. That list of fighters would be impressive as hell if he'd got them in the late eighties instead of the late nineties.

    Khan is a victim of his own arrogance-and oh yes,his glass chin.Berto a far better opponent.

    Khan may be fast, but he has no ring IQ whatsoever. His defense is also poor.

    He sets Berto up financially for life with this fight. Think about it.
