    it is too self serving. Like Holmes saying Cooney belongs in the p4p greatest heavyweight list.

    Figures you would find a way to bring pbf up instead of this idiotic comment by mab who has pac #2 alltime behind ali that means he's greater than SRR Armstrong Greb and langford and others. Your hate for pbf prevents you from seeing such an asinine statement.

    One of the dumbest arguments ive heard yet. What's next? Saying it's unfair because one guy has too much power or too much speed so we have to take that into consideration when rating greatness??? Pac has bigger calves and a bigger head than people 3x his size. Lol!!!

    Heavyweights pound for pound are not on the same level of Floyd, pacman or Monzon.

    When you're splitting hairs over p4p skills it's a valid argument. It shows greater skill when you have less reach and height than a majority of opponents but still being able to outbox them. Some fighters are great at beating up smaller men, but then end up struggling when fighting someone their own size or bigger.

    Bigger framed individuals have the potential to rise up to higher weight classes. When evaluating p4p rankings you would naturally favor those who rise above their maximum optimum weight class and still do well. Maximum optimum weight class is based on frame.

    Hypothetically, what would be a higher p4p,

    A 6'4 dude with 80 inch reach draining himself well to 175 and ends up beating up the smaller men

    Or someone like Canelo who is 5'7.5 attempting to fight at 175?

    The 6'4 guy could move up to heavyweight easily, and only there would he be fighting men bigger than him.

    You just cannot accept the truth about Floyd can you ?? You know he was caught red handed In IV gate & should have been BANNED!!!! It was hidden until Thomas Hauser burst their bubble Then the NSAC vainly tried to cover his ass with " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" ROFLMAO. He even broke NSAC rules too
    I will always have Muhammad Ali as my #1 ATG. Was my greatest moment in over 35 years in boxing to shake my heroes hand
    Manny will always rate higher than Floyd. As was said by someone tonight "If Manny beats Thurman tonight he could be rated the BEST EVER in boxing". I just hope the fight tonight is on the level & the best man legitimately gets the win he deserves

    Ken Buchanan was in hospital with his genitals iced up all night in agonising pain from that blatant way after the bell low blow. Any fighter would have been immobilised by the foul

    Having any Heavyweight in the pound for pound discussion is pointless anyways. They dont care about p4p. Whoever is the the HW champion is the best fighter in the world period.

    You lose ALL credibility when you post Floyd schooled Pac. ROFLMAO
    That should be in the records as a N/C & Floyd BANNED for a long time over the IV gate scandal. Jeez man even Floyd Sr said " Why are you fighting scared you know your losing the damn fight dont you"?? And that supposed to be his Dad lol

    Floyd aint fit to carry Manny's jock strap
