    Who cares if he is unbeaten, just look at the resume. It's special.

    Floyd is a *****. Resume speaks for itself. I mean, it's impressive, but it could be immensely better.

    He will retire undefeated cause he's a paranoid little ho.

    It is special 5 weight divisions, 7 time world champs and in 21 championship bouts. That is almost half of his fights. He is a rare talent.

    I agree he has gotten very paranoid in losing his 0 for several years already but still he still fought champs/highly ranked fighters though.

    Fairly special. Definitely greater than Super Joe or Ottke's in accomplishment, but in some cases a little worse. Super Joe and Sven avoided fights they clearly would have lost. Mayweather just never seemed to make the right fight, and he would have been favored every time out.

    Whitaker and Chavez were both better.

    You're kidding right?

    How many divisions did Ottke win titles at?

    How many HOF'ers did Ottke beat?
