    I already said it wasn't Floyd's fault ODLH was past it by the time they fought.

    I guess a big determining factor on if someone is a "Hall of Fame fighter" is weather or not they are in the Hall of Fame. Gatti is. Deal with it.

    He could of fought him earler mosley aswell

    who can forget the biggest example floyd had the p4p king pac in his prime not only a hof but a atg there to fight but he never fought him he waited 5 years he could of fought him everything was set but he asked for something he never asked for before.

    the point is how come the other great fighters beat prime hof/atg fighters but only floyd hasn't? its because they went out and fought the best when they were at their best floyd fought the best when they were not at the best

    If Floyd fought and beat prime Pacquiao, Mosley, Hatton and Cotto, I think he'd be about a top 25 ATG.

    Look at those goal posts move! So where originally you said "Never beat a hall of fame fighter" you actually just meant "I want to hate on his resume and rile people up cause I'm bored". Gotcha.

    Let me name some of the ATG's of the 2000's. Ricardo Lopez, Manny Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Lennox Lewis. Yet Mayweather just missed them all in their prime.

    That's not even getting into the HOF'ers of that decade who didn't quite reach ATG level. Guys like Froch and Cotto.

    Then you should work on your grammar dude. The slash in ATG/HOF can only indicate "or" it cannot indicate the word "and".

    I meant fighters in or around Floyd's weight class. He couldn't have fought Morales, Barrera, Lewis, Calzaghe, Lopez, or Hopkins.

    Lol again...the determining factor on if someone is a Hall of Fame fighter is whether or not they are in the Hall of Fame. Your opinion on it doesn't really change that fact.

    You made a statement and you were wrong about it. It's not the end of the world dude. It happens to us all from time to time.
