    If he never dared to be great he could have stayed in one division his whole career like your hero GGG and fight bums for years before he finally stepped up to fight Canelo. Going from 130-154 is daring to be great WTF are you talking about? You're just bitter that he never lost that's what this is really about.

    147lbs is no more alien to Pacquiao than it is to Mayweather.

    Mayweather stepped up two divisions to fight Oscar. That was not Floyd's division.

    duran is smaller then Floyd yet moved up to 160

    Floyd never took a dangerous fight if he fought Martinez/golovkin/Hopkins that would of been dangerous fights.....

    So what Duran is greater than PBF and is a top 10 ATG PBF isn't.

    He did take dangerous fights, he was just better than everyone else. Who when he was active 154 and down would be the favorite over him?:deal: No one so by your very definition no fight would be dangerous.

    Where would you rank Floyd all-time if he fought and beat:

    Hatton at 140
    Cotto
    Tszyu
    Prime Pacquiao
    Bradley
    Cotto in 2007-2008
    Khan
    Thurman
    Canelo without a catchweight

    Maybe in the top 25?

    Because it's completely unnecessary. There's no law stating you have to move up a minimum of 6 divisions to be considered great.

    Yup, so Golovkin should have about 3 in him.

    Fights don't happen for a number of reasons you can't put all the blame on him. PBF wasn't even in control of his career for most of his prime years when he was with Arum so stop it. Lastly who are these so called prime fighters that would have been favored over him 154 and down?:deal:
