    Oscar got robbed in the Trinidad and Mosley rematch, and those should have been better victories than anyone in Floyd's resume. Castillo beat him the first time too. Best of his era, perhaps. But never since Spinks have I seen a champion cower so much of another. At least Spinks faced his fear head on when he faced Tyson. Floyd won't even permit the Filipino's name being mentioned. Aside from ridiculous demands cuz he's the A side, he won't give credit to greats of the past, puts himself above them, as if what he's accomplished hasn't been done before. Yes, he's simply the best of his era, but in an era where his opponents are good to very good, but unfortunately not great.

    You have some trolling moments but that opinion is spot on.

    Yeah but Pac's legacy when he went up against Barrera, Morales and JMM IS incredible.

    Skill-Wise? Absolutely amazing. But he has ZERO guts and no victories of any ATG fighters.

    His undefeated record means nothing due to him never cleaning out a division that mattered or him beating every top contender.

    skills are measured against opponents.

    That is very debatable. Pea, Locche, Benton, Pep, Duran etc, etc. There have been more than a few great defensive masters in the history of boxing. Guys with great defences that were so good they took more risks with their offence. Floyd is the most cautious defensive fighter ever. He's probably the most economical but I don't think he has the best defensive skills. Pea for example is much more impressive on film and fought the much tougher comp to prove it.
