    Ok let's mentions Floyd's most notable oppoenents

    Delahoya ..Was he when he fought Floyd as good as the Hearns the one Srl beats

    Or The Hagler Srl beat ?

    How about Mosley was he the monster Hearns or Hagler were when he fought him ? same with Pacquio ? Was that the best version of him or close to it ? Or did he have a similar aura like Leoanrd's opponents ?

    I also have Floyd as an atg in the 30-40 range I recognize his talent I'm just not ranking him close Leoanard not enough quality wins !

    There is no way in hell Floyd cracks the top 20 ..


    Hatton Corrales are mid tier guys so Im sure Leaonrd and Floyd have their share of similar opponents with respects to that ..Now sum up their resumes and let's see who has the better wins of its about agenda ..Their careers are really not comparable at all !Plus Leoanrd fought way above 147 I think his highest weight is 168 or close to it .Floyd won't even consider a fight past jr mw..

    The only reason he gets talked about with those guys is because of the social media age and its fans ..But in all honesty he hasn't done enough in his career to really be compared to him ..

    ''

    This is the most biased post I have ever read. All trolling aside.

    You clearly have an agenda.

    It's understandable to me why he calls himself tbe. A, it's a marketing tool. And B, it's a confidence thing. He believes in himself and his skills to the degree that p4p better than any other fighter.

    And he did challenge himself to fight above his best weight. Duran and Leonard were exceptions not the rule when it comes to this. Golovkin to many is the next big bad wolf people want to take down Floyd. I actually would love to see the fight, but by no means am I mad at Floyd for not taking it, and he shouldn't feel obligated to do so.

    It was obviously. He's just trying to parody the way people bash on Floyds resume in order to prove the point that you can bash ANY fighters resume.

    He's not obligated to anything his actions have proved that just don't call yourself the best ever when your actions have proved your not close to it and don't disrespect previous greats who have put in more work than you that's all .

    His self belief is no shock all fighters believe in themselves but when you don't test yourself to the claim you make it just comes off as delusional

    Completely agree, but they're just using the same tactics that are used against Floyd. They say Floyd did beat people in their prime well Hagler was not prime. They say he didn't beat them at their best weight well Duran was two divisions above his weight and still beat Leonard. In any case Leonard holds Floyd in very high regard and said Floyd would have done great in his or anny other era.

    :lol: listen personally I'd don't really see a need for him to fight GGG at the end of the day Floyd is small guy ..But if he wants slight other past greats and call himself the best ever than prove it then ..If he were more humble I would have no issue with what he's done but he comes off as popmpous at times is all ..

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see when he does interviews after he retires if he becomes more humble. A lot of it could just be his persona.

    It might just be ..But I just look back at all the top guys I never heard Mike slighting guys like Ali or Fraizer or Delahoya making disparaging remarks about Leonard or Hearns ..That **** Floyd and his family Roger included just rubs people the wrong way ...Then you get his fans to do,the same thing ..Then people wonder why we bicker so much :lol:
