Would you classify Floyd as ATG if he is an all-time coward?

    well u would have to still use his current resume and accomplishments plus acknowledge the skill level and i think any rational person has him as an ATG...now where he is ranked is up to the individual:good

    He fought World Welterweight Champion Shane Mosley when Pac stayed in the house. Where does that put your favourite fighter?

    His "Talent" is ATG.
    His "Businessman side" is a coward.

    This^^^

    His talent is undeniable and easily top 5 all time. His resume isn't though and his career choices are going to cost him in the ATG rankings. He will be considered an ATG but unless he puts Pac and maybe Williams on his resume, most won't put him that high on the ATG list.

    If your referring to Pac, Pac never agreed to a full drug test, which is a indication that he really don't want the fight in the first place.

    That's stupid reasoning though isn't it. You've just said "He didn't agree to all of Mayweather's terms so he clearly didn't want the fight"

    You could easily flip that round and say "Floyd didn't drop the OSDT, or accept Manny's offers of 21, 14 or 7 days so he clearly didn't want the fight".

    You canot say that one party did not want the fight because they would not completely submit to the demands of the other party.

    nobody can deny Mayweathers accomplishments in the lower weight classes regardless of what happened in his later career. Hes a borderline atg if not an atg

    Log off troll. No boxer who steps foot into the ring is a coward. If you had actually stepped foot in one instead of cheerleading from the sidelines talking **** you would know you *****.

    Isn't Mosley-PBF an in-house fight? Both were being promoted by GBP as far as I'm aware.

    Lets not forget it took an earthquake to make that fight...unless you're telling me Floyd predicted an earthquake to happen and Berto to pull out soon after his negotiations with Pac fell through and there was no other viable opponents out there. Of course there was the Matthew Hatton talks but the backlash was far too much.
