    The best ever would bust his ass to get to fight the man considered by everyone around the world to be either #1 or #2 pound for pound fighter, 8 division world champ, fighter of the decade, etc etc.

    instead, he posts videos calling pac a yellow dog eater/asian midget, admitting that health comes first, and going on vacation when competition gets red hot.

    My point? PBF is an amazing boxer, incredibly gifted both in boxing intellect and in boxing ability. His technique is a pleasure to watch, and as boxing fan I appreciate him a hell of a lot...that being said, he is not the best ever, and he never will be, because he was given all the tools, all the gifts, all the necessary ingredients to make TBE, except courage. And without courage, Marquez holds the ko victory over Pac, Bradley holds a point robbery against Pac, but PBF firmly holds the title of a coward. Which is a shame, because PBF seems pretty fearless in the ring, its his out of the ring antics that make him look ***** made.

    That would be more valid if Mayweather didn't agree to let Pacquiao have 50/50, top billing, enter as champ, ring size/type, glove brand/type, weight penalty, and a 14 day cutoff on random testing only for Pac to pull out claiming 14 days was never offered in 09". Or calling Pacquiao on the phone personally after Pac said he'd take less only for him to say 50/50 or no fight in 12".

    The only reason Pacquiao fought Marquez is because he thought he would be a easy win after May-JMM and the only reason Pacquiao fought Bradley is because he doesn't hit hard that fact that he loss to both says more about Pacquiao then either of those two. Marquez could fight Mayweather in 09", 10", 11", 12", 13" and it would still be a cherrypick at damn near 45 Marquez is still a great challenge for Pacquiao.

    Come on man you can't run around quoting "Pacquiao, you're next." During the Ortiz buildup then leave out when he actually did try to fight Pacquiao after Ortiz. Only for the whole why is Schaffer calling me routine.

    Floyd is a great talent with excellent skills. Someone who is genuinely a terrific fighter, not someone who is only a champ/p4p fighter because the current era sucks.

    But the best ever? Do people realize how many great fighters there have been?

    I can't imagine anyone with any objectivity and knowledge of boxing history considering him the greatest ever, or the best ever.

    anyone who actually knows boxing would consider you a dumbass and would instantly dismiss your opinions on the subject if you think floyd is the best ever.

    Funny how people equate Floyd to being the ATG #1 simply because of his 0. Yet there are rarely any fights on that resume of significance.
    Oscar
    Mosley
    Trinidad
    Whitaker
    Jones
    Are all better ATGs then Floyd
