    this is flawed. for one you haven't given any criteria on how you regard someone as better, is it done by achievements? is it done by talent? at the end of it all it's mainly going to come down to opinion. while someone could regard someone as better than floyd, it doesn't mean you do, and theres no way of proving who's right, so you'll obviously refuse to pay as you'll regard yourself as correct. so flawed, and with that some are asking for you to get banned. i hope it was worth it.

    So you still think it's possible he's going to pay up?

    well, i don't know the poster personally to state what he would or wouldn't do, but i personally would of been surprised if i read that he paid the money three years ago, and i'll be surprised if he ever pays the money, even if many of the posters believe in their opinion that he was wrong.

    Doesn't mean they are better though, because they'd have fought anyone. I prefer all those to Floyd, but he is miles better than someone like Graziano.

    Your grandpa needs to log off. He's done.


    Roy Jones, Jr. in his prime ain't losing to no ****in Floyd. And Floyd shits himself at staredown against Hearns.

    True....but the request was to name 50 FIGHTERS who are better than Floyd....not name 50 fighters who are more skilled. There are over 50 FIGHTERS who are better than Floyd....maybe not better in terms of skills, but there are plenty of better fighters that have blessed this sport.
