    What is Floyd's best win? 1 dimensional Hatton and Corralles, two guys MADE for him?

    You could say Marquez, but again it was against a much smaller man who was a counterpuncher.

    I suppose his best win in my eyes is against ODLH. But ODLH was past it, not shot, but past it, and Floyd just scraped by.

    Meanwhile, Hopkins is taking on guys that stylistically give him hell.

    When has Floyd ever faced a tall slick boxer? NEVER.

    Hopkins faced not only a taller, slick boxer, but a SOUTHPAW in his 40s!

    Floyd is SCARED AS **** to face a tiny guy that he has again...A STYLISTIC advantage over.

    Floyd vs Martinez is similiar to BHop vs Pascal.

    Floyd WILL NEVER TAKE THE FIGHT. He is a COWARD at heart.

    A **** talker on the side lines.

    FIGHT MARTINEZ FLOYD. You CALLED HIM OUT.

    :huh Nuthugging Brits hyped him up in THEIR OWN country. Just because the brits fell for him doesn't mean the whole world will. I only know him because I follow boxing.

    Almost any casual sports fan has heard of the fighters' names like Pac, Mayweather, Jones, Hopkins, but not Joe's. Calzaghe who?

    Greatest - Pacquiao
    Best - Mayweather

    What do you base Mayweather being the "best" off of? Pacquiao has outperformed him against all common opponents, and will do so again in November when he savagely KOs the **** guzzling accountant.

    I`ll bet anyone anything that mayweather will beat pacquiao if they ever fight, he`s clearly a more talented fighter... I honestly wouldnt even be worried taking any bet, Id be shocked if pac won tbh.

    Interesting p-o-v. Why do you think so?

    Also, do you not think an achievement like being the oldest title winner ever carries some extra weight in a discussion of greatness?
