    I will give you a name: Sam Langford. The guy fought every single man that would face him in an era that boxing was strong. Where does Sam sit because Floyd can't hold his jockstrap.

    Yes it does. If you don't make weight on purpose like Mayweather did then you disgrace yourself. If you don't fight the best and wait until they get old then you lose some honor and respect. If you don't fight with courage and pick your spots then you lose some honor.

    Honor is master of skills, courage and fair play. Floyd certaintly had the skills, but never had the courage. He never fought any great fighter in their prime. Would never fight anybody toe to toe who was dangerous. Would rarely open up to put on a show. He chose to flat out miss the weight against Marquez because he was afraid of a Featherweight. He loved cheap shotting people like he did against Gatti.

    Compare that to a guy like Pacquiao who never disgraced himself in the ring. Always fought the best and never lacked the courage to do what was right.

    of course he loses when you put him against other ATGs who have 15-20 pounds on him

    Pacquiaos resume is better than floyds doe, you guys like to talk about resume let's compare mannys to floyds. Tim Bradley is better than majority of floyds resume, Floyd didn't even fight Bradley himself and Bradley has been a top fighter for how many years now?

    I don't think Bradley can beat Canelo... He sure as hell hasn't beaten Pacquaio, so I don't know how you can say that.:think

    Canelo is basically a bigger Marquez who shoulder rolls from time to time, Bradley beat marquez's ass, and didn't have much trouble so I would favor him over canelo, his resume is also better than Canelo's, and he's much busier so I see him outworking cherryhead.
