enough BS what do you think about PBF?

I think he is a great fighter, not up there with Ali, Duran, Leonard, Robinson, Armstrong, Greb, SRL, Langford, etc.., but a great nonetheless.

As a person and the way he talks and acts, I hate him. I would love to see Cotto beat the **** out of him, although I'm not so sure he would.

 

I'll lead a happier life if he receives that much overdue L that he deserved against Castillo.

In other words.... I hate his ****ing guts. :good

 

WE ALL LOVE HIM.......HE's GREAT 4 BOXING & THATS REAL TALK.

 

You only think that way because he has not been fighting all the best he has been feasting on house hold names towards the end of their careers, once he sets foot in there with Cotto or Margarito its over, hell even Shane Mosley but the way Floyd looks at that fight, he is thinking Shane isnt old enough yet.

 

love him...been w/ him since he only had somewhere in the teens amount of fights n i'ma keep on rolling w/ him till he retires

 

Yeah, it would have to be another slickster like Spinks, whom I sincerely believe could beat Mayweather. I also think Hatton could potentially get the job done.

 

I appreciate that honesty, rather than saying "he doesnt fight anyone, he sucks, hes never done anything" blah blah blah

 

The guy is a skilled fighter . . . . no question on his fighting abilities but his arrogance sucks . . . so I ****i'n hate him. :yep

 

Only time will tell. A lot of times guys are looked upon more favorably as time goes on. As time goes on people start to remeber you for how you beat people instead of who you beat. Look at Roberto Duran. People say he's the greatest lightweight of all time. However, if you look at his fights at lightweight, it's littered with bums. I'm not saying Duran wasn't a good lightweight, but it seems he's judged more on the way he fought instead of who he fought. Whitaker had more quality wins at LW than Duran, in many less fights, but many will put him behind Duran because of his more defensive oriented style.

 

I really don't think he will be ranked up there with Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, or Sugar Ray Leonard, but beating Shane Mosley, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, and another top welterweight or light middleweight would make him 42-0 with probably 7+ titles in 5 weight classes. That greatness can't be denied and he would rank in the top 20 fighters of all time.

I wouldn't put him with Leonard since his wins over Benitez, Hearns, Duran, and Hagler would surpass De La Hoya, Mosley, Cotto, and Hatton. Duran who is the only lightweight of all time to win a title at middleweight and who beat a prime Leonard, De Jesus, Buchanan, Cuevas, Palomino, Moore, and Barkley and was arguably the most well-rounded fighter in the history of boxing, and perhaps the most dominant lightweight of all time.

He would surpass Hearns in my opinion if he accomplished all of that. Whether or not he would beat Hearns is a different story, but when looking at his resume and being undefeated in 5 weight classes, I would rank him above Tommy.

Will he ever be considered the greatest of all time? No, but if he does what you said, he will be considered an all time legendary great and the best fighter of this generation.

 

The poll is way too limited. I cannot say I hate the guy, I just really don't care about him as far as entertainment value concerned in and outside the ring. His pre-fight spectacles are obnoxious and arrogant, moreover, since he moved up in weight, his fights became true snoozers. That being said, he is definetly a very talented boxer for which he deserves certain praise.

 

At the end of the day it's all about opinions and generations, the kids of today will not have seen SRR and the like, so Floyd may be seen in their eye's as the greatest, and i wouldn't blame them as the mans skills have taken things to a different level these days, people can ***** about Floyds record and who he has or hasn't faced but if you're talking about pure talent then there's not been many better than him!!, and thus he should and will be regarded as one of the greats.

 

:huh
