    no but fighting cotto, martgarito, williams etc were much more risky and you know it, so dont try and defend the fact that floyd didnt fight the best

    are you for real? he is a waste of talent because the talent he has IMO could have made him a top 20 ATG without a doubt, for me he is now top 100. so thats a waste of talent isnt it?

    I would pick DLH to beat or have even fights with everyone you listed. The man fought Castillo, Corrales, Hatton, Judah, Baldomir, DLH and people still say he didn't fight anyone and he was a waste of talent :-(

    You can't fight everyone in multiple weight classes.

    He could of achieved more but you can say that about any boxer in history. What he has allready acheived has pretty much fullfilled his talent. There may of been one or two fights he could of had to cement his legacy and mabie he will but none the less he does have a great resume and i dont feel its fair to say he's a waste of talent.

    edit: What is your list of the top 20 ATG welterweights? just wondering

    Exactly. Now a guy like Ike who has a thin resume in terms of number of wins was a WASTE of talent.

    If he's not in your top 20 ATG, then somethings wrong with you.

    right now i would say Joan Guzman with his talent he should be at least top three pfp but he doesnt seem to get the big fights that would put him there.
    he has a great oportunity against Campbell next i hope he makes the best of it.

    I'm shocked no one said ZAB JUDAH. I mean in terms of raw talent, he's off the charts in everything you could ever want from a boxer.
