    So we all recognise just how truly great PBF is, best p4p fighter in the world, but just how great could he be.

    if he decides not to retire and comes back and fights and beats say Cotto, Williams, Margorito ,cintron, mosely, then beats pacman in a catchweight fight (i know how unlikely it is but still i can dream) or even recaptures a light middleweight title again, where does he go on the p4p all time list. many people will have him in the top 50 fighters of all but, would he get into say the top 15-20 if he were to do this.

    in my honest opinion he would have to be considered up there somewhere :bbb

    If he beat Cotto, Williams, Mosley, Cintron, Margarito, and Pacquiao, he would be a top 3-5 fighter of all time.

    im glad you guys thinkk that, if he did half of what i listed i think hes top 10 material, did not want to say that in case i got slated, is there actually anyone out there between superfeather and welter who can beat him, could he even fight at little middle again and be very competitive given the size disadvantages he would have??

    He would be Top 10 beyond question. From there people could debate for any slot they wanted.

    Williams Cotto should fight and then Floyd gets the winner.

    If he beats Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Mosley, Cintron and Pacman? Then wins another belt at 154?

    Top3.

    do you honestly believe he is already top 5?? alot may argue this when theres still alot of fights for him out there i th.ink hes top 20 mayb 15 right now, but with the cotto win could get top 10 and no one would argue in 10 years his resume could read like a whos who of boxing champions if he fights a couple more super fights.

    courgued that only SRR could be above him in the list, hes got the skill to achieve this, but theres not a chance that he will fight long enough to achieve it all. i would love to see it tho.

    can you see another fighter like mayweather coming round any time soon, i really cant and it is quite scary, take him for granted when hes here, but when he retires for good then and only then will he get the credit he deserves :-(

    One thing that is so great about Floyd is when you consider his fights, and the one last night, when things seem to be getting tough, just watch him in his corner with Roger. He's perfectly calm, receiving the proper instruction. he just doesn't get rattled and his corner is always going as it should.
