    who would who rank higher in your ATG list as of now?

    at 8:43 of the video, floyd starts to say how bernard hopkins has only beat small men.

    disses him in the following video:

    who would you rank higher in your ATG list as of now? it could all change of course depending on how hopkins does in his remaining fights and whether floyd fights pacman and wins.

    Too tired to care too much.

    Floyd hasn't done much in his career. He missed a lot of potentially significant fights, and wants to hate on other guys to make himself feel better.

    This isn't really news. PBF is a chump.

    Floyd, much like his fans, feels the best and easiest way to make himself seem greater is to disrepect other fighters.

    The only place Floyd ranks ahead of these guys like Hopkins and Pac is in his own delusions, which he seems all too keen to share in every ****ing interview. How pathetic is he looking trying to degrade these fighters legacies hiding behind the media

    Bernard has beaten greats fighters, Floyd cannot come close to the list of guys Bernard has beaten. To be great you have to beat great fighters.

    He hasn't done much since moving up to light Welter, especially Welterweight.

    Over the course of 6 years he's fought 8 times. The potential opponents he's missed out one, Pacman has gobbled up notably Margo & Cotto.

    Now compare that list to Pacman's list. Not dissing Mayweather he's career from 130-135 was good, he's career from 140-147 could of been so much better.

    Floyd is greater than Hopkins, but Hopkins has done so much more with his limited skills.

    ...I prefer Mayweather's resume actually, MAG. I prefer faded Oscar at 154 with a size disadvantage to Middleweight ODLH. I prefer Castillo at 135 over Trinidad at Middleweight and I prefer old Mosley at welterweight over zombie RJJ at light heavyweight. I prefer FMJ's resume, personally. :conf

    That wasn't the conversation though, Dude. Kind of a moot point, really. But, he's picked up four major world titles and beaten eight world champions since moving up. So...what? ...Wait, did you just say Hopkins has limited skills? Now, why are you even mentioning Pacquiao? ...What the hell are you on about?
