    Floyd NEVER beat a prime ATG.

    Sort yourself out.

    The circus is back in town with these 2 clowns.

    One of them thinks that Floyd beat a prime ATG.

    Wlad at 4?

    A guy who lost to 3 non elite fighters in his 20’s?

    A guy who hit the deck 13 times, who barely survived Sam Peter?

    You sure love the stats don’t you.

    Why should he have to in order to have a better resume than Ali? A lot of excellent wins over near greats like Cotto Corrales etc seem like potentially enough to put him above Ali

    Alis best wins over prime fighters are against guys whose reputations are based partially on beating Ali (Frazier, Norton) or beating guys who beat Ali (Foreman)

    Wlad can’t be 4.

    Mike can’t be above Larry, just based on 5 great years. He hasn’t got the longevity.

    Why not he had one of the longest and mostly dominant runs in heavyweight history and he beat a number of pretty good fighters during his reign.

    Don't care my ratings are based on wins primarly and Tyson has better and more dominant wins then Holmes including over Holmes himself and over Spinks someone Holmes couldn't beat so I have him higher.

    This is his main issue.

    He will never apply context.

    He also debates on all time rankings, and not where the fighters were at the time that Floyd specifically fought them.


    It’s why he believes that Floyd’s win over Canelo, was on another level to Duran’s win over Barkley.

    He’s a terrible poster in these sorts of debates.


    You tell him that Duran was 36, with 90 plus fights on his resume, who gave up a huge amount in height and reach, yet all he thinks about is Canelo being a better P4P fighter than Barkley.

    He hasn’t got the capacity for an honest debate.

    In his 20s or before twenty straight title wins?

    What happened in the Peter rematch? Did Holmes even grant rematches after tough wins?

    Canelo dragged a 36 year old Floyd up in weight. I’d bet the house that Marquez after 35 had a similar in ring weight to Floyd.

    Ali, I think Mayweather was cherry picker.

    Liston=old and injured
    Frazier=one eyed, aging midget for the the fights that Ali actually won
    Foreman and Spinks=green
    Norton=glorified average contender
    Patterson=chinny, past prime, and small
    Quarry=undersized hypejob with paper skin

    You are too emotional, as always when you are trying to explain your thought with so-called 'facts'

    Corrales being an ATG is hilarious.

    Right up there with Norton being equivalent to Guido Vianello.
