Historically Where Is Floyd If He Beats The Winner Of Cotto Vs Margarito???

Unification at 147 requires Cotto and the Winner of Quintana vs Williams.

Get a me at that point:good

 

So you have Floyd ahead of both of them?

 

You are really smart :yep

 

you could make a case for Floyd not being in the top hundred and i wouldnt argue much.

I could list 100 fighters that are historically greater than Floyd

 

Go ahead.

 

I'm at work at the moment i'll do it later

 

Don't forget about your vow in a month.

I'm pretty sure you'll show a bull**** list of old-timers claiming that being a one-time champion like Braddock is better than any modern foghter because there were only 8 weight classes and no versions, so playing fool instead of serious arguments.

 

I don't see Floyd Mayweather going down as one of the Top 20 Fighters all time. No chance.

Fighters like Ali, Robinson, Lamotta, Willie Pep and all them other greats would be put ahead of Floyd, even if Mayweather defeats the winner of Cotto Margarito. But he should be remember adn rated in the Top 50 at least I'd say. but it's hard. Talent wise, he is probly one of the most talented pure boxers ever. But then you get people that say throughing combos like De La Hoya in his prime would get the vote over Floyds pot shotting tactics.

 

What Lamotta does amongst likes of Ali, Robinson and Pep? Another limited champion with short (almost no) reign.

 

I will endeavour to name 100 better champions than mayweather, using my own criteria.

 

Of course you can use your own criteria which just won't correspond with the common sense. But your list will be just worthless.

 

Of course it is. That's why it's disputed.

That's the very meaning of the word. Call it linear, call it 'the man' whatever you want, but it certainly is NOT undisputed.

I may not (and most of the time DON'T) agree with it, but that's the way it is.

Was Hatton EVER the undisputed champ? No, because when he beat KT, the WBA and WBC were held by somebody else. Was he linear and the Ring champ, sure.

But not undisputed. That means holding all 3 belts at once. Like Hopkins did, like Lewis did, like Tszyu did.

Not like floyd at 140, 147 or 154.

 

Floyd's career status will hedge highly on his work @ 130 & 135. That was where he made himself look like an ATG. His fights @ 140-154 weren't anything impressive and nothing that hasn't been done before. However, adding the Cotto/Margarito winner would give his reign @ 147 a lot more credence.

 

Of course it's not. That's why people disregard abc and xyz bodies.

Lewis's status didn't become disputed because just because he was stripped by WBA to give the title to a guy he just beaten .

That's the way cradible analysts it have, and so it is.

 

I would put him definitly p4p #1 and top 10 all time.

But...

Too bad it's never going too happen!!!! :blurp
