He belongs to be mentioned with other once in a generation greats ... talent like his doesn't come along that often. He beats alot of old time fighters ... he's definitely the best fighter i'd ever seen with my own two eyes. And i've seen other boxers old and new ... he's the best ...
I agree he's the best I've seen with my own eyes but unfortunately there are alot I havent see with them I like Floyd but cant have him top 5. Who do you have then ahead of him on your list?
Rofl I was being sarcastic... it was a joke. I guess since many ESB posters seriously put stuff down like that people don't know what is a joke and what is not.
Hey I just wrote top 5 ... I think Floyd is the best fighter to ever lace up a pair of gloves ... In my eyes he's the greatest fighter of all-times ... there's no one ahead of him on my all-time p4p list.
Have to disagree Fitz - as I say I rate him highly but dont think his resume is long enough to warrant that high an entry...
Not even ****ing close. His H2H ability was spectacular obviously, But the quality of opposition on his resume isn't spectacular. Gotta give him credit for moving up 5 divisions but even then he was a little bit careful about it. He could have made his career A LOT harder than he made it for himself. Him "retiring" just a bit early confirms the fact that the path of least resistance was in his best interest. How on earth could you rank him top 5? He doesn't have the resume to be among those fighters, PERIOD. You can't throw a fighter into the top 5 of all time based on ability and skill...thats not how it works. :smoke
I agree, cant put him in the top 5. From a modern fighter point of view, I have Whitaker ahead of him but I was debating whether RJJ should be ahead of him. I suppose I'll only know when their respective opponents also hang up their gloves
Sorry Brawler, missed this line when I replied to you before... Chavez out of those three is the closest for me but I still have him beating Floyd. Whitaker I think UDs Floyd. And Duran, I couldnt disagree more mate... I rate Floyd highly but Duran kills him!
