    so you agree that floyd isn't as great as you fl*mos think he is because there wasn't anybody else in his era that was that good. he retired once his division got hot. floyd's prime weight was at 130, how many great fighters were at 130 at the time? there were no great fighters.. that says a lot about the era. and #48 was asked for in 2009 when pac was ripping everyone in half, not 2015..... you lost this argument pal. floyd ain't that great

    I didn't lose anything. You lost the #38 argument never refuted it.:deal You lost this argument about prime ATG it was #48. The same guy who was offered a 50/50 split who refused to agree to random blood testing that would be given to both fighters runs off to fight Clottey then years later agrees to those same tests to fight Rios. If that's not a duck then what is? He never wanted the fight. Add to that Roach comes out years later on a video on Youtube that was posted here saying the reason why this fight didn't happen was because they didn't want testing and it was mostly their fault. This is something that's true your opinion is irrelevant Roach confirmed it.:deal You lost again.:hi:

    PBF is great he's the best of this era and would be great in any era a fantastic H2H fighter because he's complete with ATG defense counter punching and ring IQ. You're just mad because the guy keeps wining and proving you wrong. You're like he can't be this great why can't he just lose.:|:|:|

    doesn't matter whose fault it was for the fight not happening when it was supposed to. the fact that the fight didn't happen until 6 years after everyone asked for it just takes credit away from the winner. pacquiao has more fans than floyd... most of the crowd in the arena were pacquiao fans.......... 50/50 wasn't even realistic because pacquiao's fan base is larger than floyd's... and the whole "he'll be the best in any era" is completely speculation. if floyd fought in the 80s he'd have to fight guys like curry, norris, mccallum, benitez, hearns, leonard, duran, arguello, pryor etc. he wouldn't look so great against guys like this. floyd's fighting in an era where guys like robert guerrero and victor ortiz are world champions :yep

    Fans, crowd noise???:lol::rofl Just wave the white flag man and move on you're clearly out of your depth here.

    Actually PBF compromised with #48 because he had done bigger PPV numbers with the Oscar fight. PBF was the king of the sport until he briefly retired he was #1 P4P #48 only got to that position because PBF retired remember that.:deal

    so pacquiao's fanbase isn't larger than floyd's? canelo-mayweather did 2.2 mil, mayweather-pacquiao did 4.4 mil, that's an entire 2.2 million more buyers, but pacquiao doesn't have a larger fanbase, lol okay. why did floyd "permanently retire" after fighting hatton? it's funny because in between that time he would have been matched up against at least two of these fighters: margarito, williams, mayorga, forrest, dela hoya II. he also came back to fight marquez who jumped two weight classes.......

    But nobody has ever unified the four 147 belts.

    Why is it often mentioned on Hopkins ledger if it means nothing. :think

    Was the new Wembley even open then? :huh

    But either way that fight happened in December so if the fight did take place in the UK it wouldn't have been outdoors
