    They're not boxers either. And the criticism has nothing to do with balls. It's about cynicism. And it's not like the b1tching comes from an inability to perceive the sh1t a boxer goes through. It's a matter of perspective. Two different fighters go through the same sh1t in terms of a boxer's daily routine, one of them takes on the best and the other takes the long cut. Both claim to be the best and one of them is perceived as a cynic. I don't see what the problem is.

    I don't disagree entirely with the list though. The difference between them and Floyd is most of them had to put their 4sses on the line at some point. Even Gans might have taken the long cut around the black contenders of his time after some rough dances with Dave Holly but only after he proved himself against them all. You gotta dig in Floyd's record the fights where he didn't have some sort of advantage going to the fight.

    Not surprisingly, my question went unanswered:think

    By your own standards, I'm guessing you have Marciano, Calzaghe and Ricardo Lopez in the top 20 also.:lol:

    Dramatic much ? :patsch


    I don't think I ever cared for what boxers do in their personal life..

    My issue is the defense of a guy who admits to handpicking opponents I'm trying to start the movement where we go back to the days where guys at the top took on the best like Holydield, Leoanard ,Ali etc ..

    What Floyd has done is inexcusable ! For all his talent he has watered down the sport ..Part time fighting mediocre pay per views etc ..

    I think these actions hinder the sport and I for one consider myself one of those fans that has to speak out against such BS.

    Not once do I call any boxer a coward there are some here that do ..I don't take these things personal I'm just a passionate fan .But this is all in good fun.Football season is over ,Thank God for Boxing ! My life great off the net but I'm a boxing addict and this is how I get my fix .

    you guys act like this was the first time in history that anyone asked for anything unusual in a contract. As said earlier before all Manny had to do was take test, the same test that he asked of rios

    Very good trainer, but he does't have the list of world class names that he's either brought through from the beginning or taken them onto the next level in there career.

    Didn't say I didn't like, just said he has accomplished as much as many people seem to think when comparing it in a historical context.

    PBF has one of the best resumes in boxing today. He's fought from 130-154 and arguably the best defensive boxer in history. The guy rarely loses rounds has never been knocked down and seldom hurt lands at a compubox record for accuracy has been at the top of the sport since 1999 to now almost two decades of dominance and is a H2H terror to boot. Your hate for the man clouds your ability from seeing a once in a generation talent when it's staring you in the face.

    Floyd could retire today and in 20 years everyone on the planet would rank him in the top 25...

    Just give it time. Always got to give it time...
