    Sweet Pea left no unfinshed business at LT. SRL whooped his biggest threat at WW when he beat Duran, Hearns and Benitez. Then when up and beat the best Middleweight there was in Hagler. Floyd didnt do anything near what those guys did when mooving up.

    That was said as soon as Floyd retired. Its not like a year went by.

    And was that smart on their decisions? I bet if all those guys could go back into time, they would've retired in their primes.

    Leonard lost his last 2 fights, therefore he has unfinished business. Same with Pernell. So if I say PBF has unfinished business, then so does Pernell & Ray!

    P4P this is the type of **** some little kid would come up with man, you do realize how pathetic you sound in saying this right? Look you know Floyd has unfinished business at Welter Weight, the day you can say he cleaned out the top welters is the day he doesnt period.

    Trying and losing, I don't call unfinished business. "Never have tried" is.

    PBF is good but nowehere near SRL in comparison of opponents fought.

    Those two were way past it. They have no business still fighting. Floyd was still in his prime when he left. Its not the same at all dude.

    Hell, you can say whatever, but you cant say I'm lying. If you think I'm lying, go check your stats.

    PBF has cleaned out divisions, and every division he's fought in, just by watching him you know he's the best. Its hard to be the best p4p fighter and not be the best in your division.

    Okay, you can play the resume game, but at the end of the day, AM, PW & Cotto aren't as good as PBF is resume wise either, so your point is...

    Floyd cleaned out 130. Beat the best fighter in the world at 135. Moved to 140 and beat Gatti. Cotto and Hatton wouldnt fight him. Because they saw the ass whippin he gave to Gatti, at probably his best weight of his career. So he moved up to 147, beat the former recognized best welterweight in the world in Zab Judah, and then beat the lineal titlest in Baldomir. Moved up again, to his 5th weight class and beat Oscar De La Hoya who many considered the best 154lb fighter in the world. Then came out of retirement, and beat the number 1 ranked Welterweight and the best 140lb fighter in the world in Ricky Hatton.

    When Sweet Pea and Sugar Ray Leonard move up 5 weight classes, then you can talk about who they did and did not fight. Sugar Ray Leonard never fought Aaron Pryor despite Pryor calling him out, retired from the game with an injury that takes less then a few months to heal, because he didnt wanna rematch Hearns, and waited until Hagler was passed it to face him at middleweight.

    You can make even the best fighters of the last 30 years resume seem weak if you dont know **** about boxing.

    Any fool who gives any of those fighters more than a 30% chance of beating Floyd isn't even worthy of posting.

    & if they could go back in time and change when they retired, they would've retired in their primes! Exactly, PBF learned from other great fighters' mistakes! Can you blame him?

    How can that be when 3 other guys were walking around in the divison wearing tittles. Plus two were undefeated at te same time as Floyd. That sounds like unfinished business to me.
