Floyd is an ATG but IMO he is absolutely positively not TBE. My worthless 2 cents, he might be (and probably is) top 25, which is much higher than anyone else from his era. Comparing people from different eras is difficult. Floyd was clearly the best of his era, and that's a great feat in and of itself.
Top 25 in terms of greatness or H2H ability? I personally think Top 25 in terms of greatness is too high of a position for him. Who is your TBE?
I said "might be (and probably is)". These types of ranking are a tricky business. The game has changed a lot over the years. When I talk in terms of ranking the greatest ever, I always use a combination of achievements and H2H comparisons, but this isn't an exact science and is always subject to personal preference and individual opinions.
He defeated ATG HOF'er prime Andre Berto in his retirement fight. He defeated ATG HOF PRIME FORCE OF NATURE Pacquiao (NOT 6-7 years too late) He fought ATG HOF'er offensive master Marcos Maidana TWICE and won TWICE To be honest Floyd's best career victory was leaving Bob Arum... "He's very delusional if he was anywhere near that realm of greatness he would be able to take his kids to school by himself, greatness is not guarding yourself from the people but bieng accepted by the people"
I used to be a regular visitor to the site before I made an account, usually on fight nights to follow IB's RBR, so I am well versed in his Floyd counter arguments and his ridiculous threads. You shouldn't assume everyone is an alt.
So far, just one person had given reasons why they think Floyd is TBE. All of the *****'s here didn't give an answer.
If that makes you feel better because just like your buddy MVC you spout the same lines to counter arguments. Maybe you are MVC that's why you're defending him. See I can do it too!
