Duran, a 5'7" light weight can fight Hagler & Barkley but TBE isnt expected to tangle

    Because there is no reason to fight someone who is unproven. Can't really criticize him for not fighting someone if that someone has done nothing.

    There is still a huge size difference between them. You don't have to fight somebody that much bigger than you in order to be considered great or TBE. It's not like Floyd has stayed in one division. He has moved up in weight and fought big enough opposition. Fighting somebody GGG's size is not necessary.

    OK, I can see that i have to spoon feed you these simple concepts...

    the difference between leonard and armstrong are obvious if you just watch tape of them. leonard was a typical fighter from the 1920s. he sucked....armstrong was ahead of his time. by that, i don't mean he had a "time machine" or some other means of time travel. by that, i mean he was so advanced in terms of his level of skill that he changed the game...even though boxing and boxers evolve and improve over time, armstong would have been competitive with the best fighters who came along many decades later.

    -as for shane, he provided testimony about his drug use. either you can choose to believe him or not.

    i hope that those concepts were explained in a simple enough fashion for your dull brain to ingest. I apologize for forgetting that often you are not the best and brighest collection of folks. :D

    well, the problem is, as long as floyd keeps winning, they gonna want him to keep fighting bigger and bigger dudes. floyd is basically a small ww. he already won the jmw title..now they want him to fight at mw. lets say he beat ggg which is a strong possibility. they will be here the next week complaining about his behavior of not fighting andre ward....if he does miracuously beat ward, they will next be saying that it is just inexcusable and an affrtont to humanit itself that he hasn't fought kovalev, etc, etc, etc.

    boxing has weight classes for a reason. fmj doesn't need to fight above his natural weight... even though a lot of his opponents are fighting 15-25 lbs BELOW their natural weight.

    Every fighter is different. Floyd won't even fight a small welter why would you think he'll fight a full pledge middle?

    I stand by that comment too...As said I respect Mayweather, but I don't worship him like you apparently...:lol::lol:
    And no he has not reached Duran's status as an ATG...Not yet anyway. Time will tell on that.

    I t was a different sport back then , if you didnt fight at the top level there would always be someone else to step in.

    Floyd is in a position where he simply isnt being pushed, if he was I think he would.
