    I wouldn’t, but then they’re not Floyd’s best wins are they.

    Spence is better than the specific versions of those guys that Floyd fought.

    Styles do make fights. Although, they didn’t fight the same version of Oscar.

    They can call me whatever they want. A lot of people don't like the truth.

    Cotto in the hall of fame is a laugh. Gatti rest his soul, was a celebrated club fighter who never beat an "A" level opponent in his entire career. None of the ones you mention belong in the hall of fame.

    Shane Mosley, Cotto, and Juan Manuel Marquez don’t belong in the HOF?

    They do but they are extremely overrated compared to the fighters we have today who are dominating 130 to 147. Hell, I would favor Charlo to beat cotto and Mosley at 154

    Today’s fighters are also overrated.

    Who is dominating?

    Against who?

    Spence and Crawford aren’t dominating top level fighters, and they’ve still yet to fight.

    Vernon would've stopped manny and cotto due to size and superior skill

    Paquiao ended up like every other fighter, watching mayweather pop shot him to a decision, I was banned from bumping my old threads but as a real boxing fan this fight was always gonna be a mismatch. I have a thread about it being a mismatch during this 5 year wait as you call it, when in fact if you were here it was obviously paquaio negotaint dates on the test. You can talk that mess on instagram and tictock but dont bring it here as we all know better.
    Pac said he was afraid of needles too then I posted a video of paquiao haven blood drawn then arum brought it up.
    Take that tic toc coversation somewhere else. only kids do what your doing. Mismatch from day one

    Spence dominate Ugas and Danny and Crawford Dominated Porter and Gamboa.

    Yikes the lies these Floyd lovers will tell themselves while trying to twist & reinvent the facts on these boards,

    Forget that needle just find me a copy of those Low epi-test levels of Floyd,

    Oh & add the IV Too for good measure, talking about pop shot or did you mean pot shot?

    None of the fighters mentioned in the title of this thread are great, they are just active fighters who are near the top of the sport.

    Floyd beat greater fighters, and he beat them easily.

    On the other hand, we have Crawford struggling with mean machine. Ennis who hasn’t done anything in the sport yet. Shakur needs to go upto 135 to really prove himself. Tank won’t fight anybody, maybe that’s not his fault but thats still his situation. Spence is good, but would lose to prime De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Vernon Forrest, Trinidad and the list goes on.

    Sounds like OP is new to boxing. Welcome
