You're trying to dis Jones wins against Hopkins and Toney, by what? claiming inactivity after he beat them? What's that got to do with the fact he beat them? Answer: absolutely nothing. Those were great wins and he made them look easy. As for Ruiz he was well over 40lb bigger than Jones and had recently beat Holyfield for godsakes, and he went on to beat Rahman, Oquendo, and Golota. Slow as hell, but never the less a dangerous fight for a light heavyweight to take. Let's see Jones just to middle and fight GGG then once that's done we can talk. Now, simple question: tell me what 3 wins does Floyd have that exceed these?
Floyd is easily the goat for me. never before seen anything like him. it's truly unfair for his opponents, thats how great he is. unbelievable, yet clowns dog him here all day cause they can't comprehend what he does to his opponents. they are all scared to death after just a few rounds. its like they can't throw punches or block em either. mismatch every time he gets in the ring. ODH possible won 3 rounds, castillo 1 was close but floyd easily won the first 5 rounds and he got a couple of the close ones in the 2nd half. 2nd fight was a mismatch cause he had 2 arms to use. bout the castillo BS, i would love for someone to finally answer which 6 or 7 LMFAO did castillo win to think he got robbed. i can give him 4 close rounds and thats being very very generous. so which 5,6,7 rounds did he supposedly win ? been asking for years and years yet NO ONE can respond. bunch a clowns talkin nonstop sh!t !!!
Firstly I think Oscar did a lot better against him then most expected, and a prime Oscar may have actually beat him. Secondly, he's no where near the GOAT. Not with the likes of SRR, Langford, Armstrong, Greb, Charles, Duran, SRL, Ali, etc. for one simple reason, his comp isn't anywhere near the level of the others. Look at SRL, he beat Duran, Hearns, Hagler, Benitez, now tell me Floyd's best 4 wins and let's compare them.
Henry Armstrong held the undisputed championships at welterweight, lightweight and featherweight simultaneously
Duran starting at 135 and being an old fat guy and beating Barkley for the middleweight title, Add to that Druran beating Davey Moore at 154 in a fight he wasn't supposed to win where he brutalizes Moore and closes the show with a ****ing KO,,,,,, PS, and now one of the greatest wins ever: Duran jumps two weight classes and beats the 2nd greatest welterweight to ever lace on a pair of gloves in Sugar Ray leonard. Duran challenges one of the ATG middleweights in Hagler and fights him on even terms for 12 rds By the way Duran turned pro at 130 now shut the **** up.
Yep, it was. But Duran was no good because he lost to guys who started at 147 like Leonard and Hearns and were younger than him and had less fights than him, (in fact Duran had more fights by the time that he challenged Leonard than any of the others in the fab 4 would in their entire careers) so it doesn't count. :roll:
Oh, and a few others for record: Heanrs started at 147 and KO'd cruiserweights, Billy Conn started at lightweight, won the Light Heavyweight championship and nearly beat an ATG heavyweight, Henry Armstrong started in the 120s or so and won featherweight, lightweight, welterweight titles all within a year or two then fought the middleweight champion to a draw that many think he could have won. In a time when there was only 1 title and 1 champion per weight, not a bunch of nobodies holding titles from multiple sanctioning bodies.
