    Floyd>Pac>Marquez

    Floyd edges it because he's undefeated while Pac just got flattened in a high profile fight against a guy Floyd dominated. That counts for something.

    Dont get me wrong im not trying to take anything away from the wins against ATG's these fights are important to legacies.

    Lets take SRL....he fought Hearns, Hagler, and Duran....that is exceptional talent rare even. However how often will that happen where there is talents such as that for fighters around them to fight.

    EMO, MAB and JMM dont compare....but thats the best of what he had to fight....do we penalize him for not having a Hearns Hagler and Duran around? If you stack there resume's together including there big fights i think people hands down will chose SRL....if you take there three best away though.....i think you still can conclude a even more accurate and fair assesment about the complete body of work.

    With Floyd there certainly is no Hagler Hearns or Duran, nor a EMO MAB maybe a JMM....again...why does his resume get penalized?

    JMM the same thing....and he even fought MAB but yet he is somehow a distant third?

    Again this is only resumes there is a clear distinct distance with Legacies...i do believe there resumes are somewhat closer though.

    Well when you're ranking a fighter, you can only go by what they've done. Unfortunately that's just how it is. If you start looking at your subjective value attached to their skills, it gets murky and unsubstantiated .But you can privately think H2H that they are greater and argue it.

    Yo Bogo thanks for the reply, I'll get back to you tomorrow some time as I'm DEAD tired. :dead
    (Definitely Bradley. Plus he's got the belt Juan should have. Arum seems hellbent on a fifth fighr though.)

    legacy wise and ranking head to head and all that yea...i think the order is cut clear....but if we are just arguing resumes...i think its valid to take these things into consideration.

    You are a complete idiot if you can't see how the Marquez fight hurts Pac's standing. Marquez still doesn't have enough to overtake Pac's resume, not sure where you're drawing that from other than idiocy.

    Pac is 146 on fight night ever since 130. :hi:

    Cotto looked like **** at 146 against Clottey, too.

    Mosley, and DLH were far from the top of their game. You could make the argument for Cotto as well.

    Marquez was well above his best weight, many feel that floyd lost to Castillo the first time around and if rules were properly enforced he would have an L against Judah.

    You can nitpick any fighters resume.
