    He said probably. You don't know what he's going to do in his next 5 fights. He could coast and take easy fights, or he might surprise us and take on all of these young guys like Canelo, Matthysse/Garcia, Alexander/Khan, maybe even Bradley if he beats Marquez and can get out of TR.

    Yes, fight Pac. Void refused to fight Martinez at 150. He refused to fight Alvarez at 154, yet he fought Cotto at 154. He refused to fight Paul Williams and Trout, etc.

    He should have beaten the best instead of cherry picking
    lighter weight opponents such as Hatton, Marquez, and Guerrero.

    Freitas and Casamayor were good fights at super feather, didnt happen.

    Dorin, Spadafora, Grigorian were all undefeated world title holders when he was fighting Sosa and Ndou at lightweight.

    Kostya Tszyu was linear champ at 140 when Floyd was fighting eliminators for the WBC paper title. Even beating Hatton at 140 would have meant more for Floyds record.

    At Welter he talked himself out of a 100million dollars and the biggest match of this era by not fighting a prime Pacquiao at 147. Can you imagine Ray Leonard not fighting Roberto Duran or Tommy Hearns?


    Even with these wins he wouldnt necessarily be the greatest, he would be in the argument though.

    This era doesn't foster the type of regimen that produces top 5 ATGs, let alone the goat.


    They all fought a minimum of 100 bouts really, including the opposition. Compound that many times over and you've got some real talent, whoever's sitting at the top.
