    Fight and flight, fight and flight. Sometimes does more flight than fight. How can he be a great FIGHTER when half the time he runs around the ring?

    He's not going to be in a brutal fight because he's a defensive master. When will idiots like you realize that defense wins championships?:deal

    there is a master to handpicking. Hopkins is pretty good at it at times, but then wants to take on the big challenge and loses like with Dawson.

    I bet you thought all Pea Whitaker was a bum to. SInce all he did was run. No he along withe PBF put on some of the best boxing exhibitions of this era. People like you should really find a new sport because you're too ignorant to appreciate boxing and a once in a generation talent like PBF.

    Yes, he's a defensive master. That's not going to keep you out of trouble in every fight unless you're very, very selective about who you're fighting. Floyd is a great fighter, can't seriously dispute that. Floyd avoided all the biggest possible challenges of his career after moving up from LW. Can't seriously dispute that either, and it's unrealistic for you to think people wouldn't notice or comment on that.

    Floyd didn't want the fights with Cotto, Clottey and Margacheato when they would have been massive challenges. He didn't and STILL doesn't want to fight Manny. End of story. How that affects his legacy and the way you percieve him is up to you, but those are FACTS.

    For me, if you want to talk about yourself as the GOAT, you need to be the type of fighter that Ali was, that Manny is. You take on the greatest challenges you can find and you conquer them. The title GOAT isn't given for the best paycheck in boxing. It's for the best FIGHTER in boxing, and Floyd isn't that and won't take the steps necessary to make that claim in the ring, which is the only place it matters.

    Pacquiao's approach to the sport has won him a good number of championships if memory serves me correctly.
