    I remember this story, this isn't verbatim but it was somthing like Floyd was saying how nobody could touch him because of his shoulder roll defence, Morales said that he would be able to. So they sparred and sure enough Morales was able to land repeatedly. As i said this isn't verbatim but it was somthing along those lines.

    There is no levels to ATG. It's the highest level.

    It may appear that way because MAB Morales laid it on the line more than Mayweather, fought each other and other fighters prime win or lose, that what happens , its always happened in boxing, that's why greater fighters than Floyd retired with losses... I know Floyds an atg, but there's nothing in it, they are all great fighters, **** the "0" ! Plus there are plenty that would take MAB and Morales over May

    There's not any who's sane who would pick em or mab over pbf. Pbf would beat mab worse than he beat gatti and would outbox em to a win. It's not pbfs fault that he didnt have a rival at his weight when he was prime guys like mosely and oscar viewed him as too high risk and wanted nothing to do with him. With that said he still moved up in weight he didnt spend a career in a dead division like ggg your hero who wouldnt move up to fight light punching ward.
    Pbf is an atg the best of his era above the likes of em and mab just like srl is on a higher atg level than them as well. Hes arguably a top 10 atg.

    They're both great fighters are they not? Robinson is a greater fighter, but Morales is an ATG too. They're both legit great fighters.

    Floyd washes JMM & MAB at 130

    I think Morales could hang with Floyd probably lose a 7-5 decision if he want balls out & threw 100 punches a round like Maidana did...

    Morales wasnt prime against Raheem, though that doesnt mean that style wouldnt bother him...

    Did I inspire you?

    If so do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Tyson Fury?

    Floyd is overrated. His fan boys are delusional when placing him on an ATG list

    He's an ATG.

    Just not as great, skilled, or unbeatable as his fanboys make out

    It's obvious which posters hate Floyd. Sparring isn't a real fight. Imagine bringing up Ali's sparring sessions.
