    You are saying he is an ATG? Are you for real?

    A person is proclaimed an ATG based on their accomplishments, did Genaro not accomplish greatness at 130?

    Let's remind you of the question, who are all these prime ATG's Floyd suppose(d) to be fighting?

    Let me ask you something: Other than Pacquiao, what ATGs were there?

    Ali had Foreman and Frazier. Leonard had Hearns, Hagler, and Duran. Even RJJ had Toney and Hopkins. Who does Floyd have?

    anyone can become an atg without fighting an atg depending on what they accomplished in their time. floyd has pac during his time but he chose money than legacy. some fans are just forcing greatness in floyd when it's not really that high compared to atg's in his era. just the way he fights does not show character of a true atg.

    How did Leonard

    How did Duran

    How did Holyfield

    How did Ali

    How did Delahoya end up fighting atg's in their prime ?


    What all of a sudden when it come to Floyd he doesn't know how to face the best yet his predecessors have done it ?

    What separated them from Floyd Armstrong is that they sought out the very best guys of the day they didn't use punching power as an excuse , weight ,accusations ,etc they went and fought the very top guys or the guys the fans demanded when it mattered !!!

    Great boxers become great boxers when they put in the work its not that difficult to find the top dogs ..Its funny but Mayweather fans can easily identify that Floyd is a class above the rest but when it comes to his match making for some reason he struggles to find not just an atg but a worthy opponent in their prime ..You can't makes this **** up :patsch

    Maybe it's cause you considered those fighters equals in skill and ability, there are no fighters you believe are equal to Floyd in skill and ability, therefore in your mind he hasn't fought nobody. Like I said earlier he is the only ATG, can't fight himself

    Sorry Floyd fought for 20 hrs I find it laughable that he couldn't get one opponent that was on par with ..

    There were plenty of guys he could have fought to test him in their prime Martinez ,Prime Winky Wright just to name a few .. And if you wonder if their atg's well ask yourself where would they rank all time @ 154 since they all fought in that same division ..

    You fight prime ATG's "accidentaly" of course Ali didn't know at the time of the fight Frazier or Foreman would end up ATG's.it's only called finding the best opponent.

    Hearns was not ATG when he fought SRL or Duran.

    There are countless other examples too.

    Sometimes there are more ATG's and HOF'ers around
