    I mean he could have had Barrera and Morales move up in weight. But Morales didn't move up to superfeather until Floyd was a lightweight. He never had the chance to fight an atg in their prime until now. Floyd better take that fight. It will leave a ? in his career if he doesn't.

    As much as I hate Floyd, I think he ranks higher than Morales. I think the gap between the two of them is about as big as the gap between Floyd and Manny (Manny being significantly higher)

    How is that so? Morales has better resume, and is skill full too.

    I hate to sound like a ***** here, but Floyd has been a top p4p fighter for the longest time. He had a really good career at the lighter weights. Let's not act like Floyd hasn't done much in his career. I just think that overall Mayweather has accomplished more in the sport. If it wasn't for Manny, he'd be considered as the best fighter of this generation.

    Even if so, why does this anger you?

    Erik EL TERRIBLE Morales!

    ... but not by much. If Floyd beats Manny then the pendulum swings back to Floyd.

    Yes mayweather has achieved much success earlier in his career. I don't think his resume is bigger than Morales. Morales has been fighting like a warrior and although he has not won them all, most of his fights have been legendary. Whereas Floyd's fights are a thing of science beauty, the opposition greatly diminishes his status.

    Voted for Mayweather although I won't argue with anyone putting Morales ahead of him. I have them both close to each other, although Mayweather is just slightly ahead of Morales by less than 5 spots.

    Floyd always points to his undefeated record and says its all about the record and that he's 42 and 0. Well, Morales was 43 and 0 at age 25. Floyd took and additional 10 years and who knows, could lose his next fight.

    Answer this question then smartass. Is EM a top 3 or 4 fighter of this era? That means he would rank above Hopkins, PBF Pac and RJJ the answer is no.

    I will still argue that Floyd is ducking a fighter that Morales had already beat once (pacquiao). that said, I voted for floyd to be higher in the ATG rankings. This generation was dominated by manny, bhop and floyd. The likes of barrera, morales and marquez are second-tier compared to them

    And you're an an insult to this forum. EM isn't a top 4 figjhter of this era so how in the **** can he rank above PBF who is? You won't answer that quetion all you'll do is ignore it. That question alone has people like you grasping at straws.

    :lol::rofl:lol: **** off
    PBF at 130 would have destroyed EM at that weight he was arguably the GOAT a H2H terror. :dealToo much lateral movement speed defense and counterpunching and power. He would have busted EM up. EM thought that Raheem had him beffudled with his style against PBF he would have had no prayer.
