    Floyds era he held down but and it's a big but is he never called out the lions when they were in there prime...sure he did it for longevity and money but c'mon....TBE I don't think so..TBE at being a cherry picker and a very boring fighter..at the end he came out a multi millionaire but let's see how he goes with people pointing out his history..

    Hey personally I love Castillo but can you imagine the reaction of the fans on here if either Manny or Floyd chose an opponent with 4 KO losses on their record today.

    I think anyone who actually knows the sport can appreciate any challenge to the throne. There are many boxers of lower ranking who can trouble the higher ranked ones or at least make good fights. As fighters up ranking and claim titles the fans expect a much higher level of opposition.

    We could make a far stronger argument that this is the case for Little Duck. We could also make a case PacTurd feasted on mostly past prime fighters. It's not hard to start shredding anyone's resume. I don't like Void too much but he does have an excellent resume.

    Yep you're right, just like Geale, Monroe, Lemieux, Rosado, Stevens, Murray etc. they might not be the highest ranked but for most fighters outside of GGG, they'd present a real challenge.

    This was a stupid thread. I see the point you were trying to make but horrible execution. Everybody on the list except for Corley and Berto was a world champion at the time Floyd them and Berto was a former world champion. No way they could be called a bums.

    Wait, are you really trying to compare Bummyluvkins resume to Floyd? Bummyluvkin has the worst resume out of any reigning champion in boxing..

    And what's your issue with Badou Jack, K9, or Roman Martinez, are they not world class fighters?
