    Yeah I might have until Pac walked into one and went to sleep or changed his mind and forced him to realize he was in too deep with a master and there was no hope of victory and you have PBF walking him down and beating him up.

    Steward also said Jorge Linares was one of the best boxers he's ever seen.

    He never clearly beat JMM and Ledwada is someone who I never rated anyway.

    He must know what's he's talking about a little don't you think.

    Some genius of Steward. Turned glass jawed Wlad into the best HW of his time. Transformed light puncher Tommy Hearns into a typhoon of destruction. And purposely recommended Naseem Hamed to not fight Marquez or he'd be clowned.

    Ledwaba is a respectable win. Decent and looks good on the resume. Top fighter in the class. And was faster than Pacquiao.

    Yeah it was a good win I'm just saying I never thought he as anything special.

    And was heavily ducked leading up to the fight. Ledwaba was a top fighter, better than most that Floyd fought.
    And Pac took that fight in very short notice.

    Me too

    Got a strong feeling both Conor and Dana want absolutely nothing to do with Khabib, but you simply cant knock Conor for the courage he's shown over the last year or so

    I can't think of many fighters floyd fought in their prime that were better than Ledwaba. Castillo and Hatton were better. Maybe Corrales too.

    Stop it now you're being ridiculous. The guy wasn't great he was a B fighter nothing more he wasn't HOF level.

    He's not a HOF level fighter, but let's not act like Floyd's opponents were HOF level either.

    Mayweather has fought two HOF caliber fighters at their best. Castillo and Hatton. Remains to be seen if Castillo even makes the HOF.

    PBF has fought enough and has a good resume a guy like Ledwada would be just another guy if PBF had fought him.

    Some people actually call Floyd a top 20 ATG fighter. Those guys that are rated that high had many, many battles with HOF fighters in their prime. Floyd's different though according to you.

    PBF was dominant in 3 different decades never lost never knocked down and only lost a handful of rounds in his prime. PBF is respected by his peers they know he's great and he did it over 5 weight classes. His greatness can't be denied it's only bitter PBF haters like you who refuse to accept it. Hell Pac's own trainer Roach said PBF is the best fighter of this era so did The Ring and ESPN.
