    floyd talked like he was king kong but never fought the biggest threats to his throne even though he loved to say how great he was.

    dont get me wrong, floyd's talents are up there with the best...but there's a difference between having the talent and proving it - and even though i'd have picked floyd to beat anyone who mattered, he ddin't take those fights and so he didn't prove his P4P stature against the very best.

    He could've been. Maybe he was (talent wise). Hard to tell.


    If he beat up Castillo and DLH the way he beat up corrales/gatti/manfredy/hatton, I think it would be something to think about, or if he obviously fought better opponents...but he didn't, so he isn't.

    De La Hoya is the best at 154. Floyd fought him.

    If he fought Margarito it would be a very wide decision in a one sided fight.

    Everyone just hates Floyd. Because hes arrogant and rich.

    Just admit it everyone.

    u need more than defence to qualify for top 20. Longevity, domination in a certain weightclass, quality of opposition, ACTIVITY are some of the factors u need to consider

    I rank him as a top 5 all-time great in the super featherweight/junior lightweight division.
