    He will never be #1, ever. It's that simple.

    Jacory, you got something running from your mouth. Clean that up. You FF.

    True Dat!

    The truly great faced and beat any and everybody.

    Lewis's resume would have looked even better had he faced Bowe, but that the fight didn't happen is not Lewis's fault.

    He will be up there in my opinion, not the greatest, but such a talent that he cannot be denied top 30 minimum. In my opinion he hasn't fought the best that he could've fought and I certainly don't believe he was ever ducked, more like his obsession with keeping his zero makes him take the highest reward fights with the lowest risk.

    You're opinion is worthless, fan girl.

    PBF is a top 50 ATG but doesn't have the quantity of ATGs on his record that PAC has.

    No. Just another overpaid ducker.

    He'll be more appreciated once he does retire for good but his resume isn't good enough.

    What's his best win? Faded De La Hoya, Castillo, Hatton, Corrales, Marquez, old Mosley? He's got some good names but nothing to compare to Duran beating Leonard or vice versa.

    Does Mayweather winning titles from 130lbs to 154lbs over a period of almost 9 years compare to Armstrong winning titles from 126lbs to 147lbs during a 10 month period?

    Had he beaten Pac it would have added a lot to his legacy. But he never cared about greatness as much as he cared about keeping his 0.

    Considering he'll fight:
    W Past Prime Pacquiao
    W Khan
    W Maidana 2
    W Thurman/Porter
    W Guerrero
    W Cotto
    W Hatton
    W Judah
    W Castillo 2
    W Corrales
    W Hernandez
    W Past Prime Oscar
    W Canelo
    W Marquez
    D Maidana 1
    L Castillo 1
    ...I consider him greater than Alexis Arguello. He'd probably be around 30-40th.

    he will be top 50, and Pac will be top 30. Had they fought each other the winner of that goes up 10 spots or maybe 20, But they blew it. Floyd the greatest? He uses catchweights. Guys who use catchweights for a title cannot be the greatest, they are cheating to get titles.
