    He's 44 with glass hands and a pubic hair transplant, let him rest and brag about how much money he swindled from his "haters."

    I have no problem calling Floyd the GOAT if he comes back and beats Clenelo at 160 or 168.

    No. Because 50-0 looks prettier than 51-0

    Wladimir coming back and beating a HW champion would be the greatest boxing feat

    Nobody can do it because nobody fights enough anymore.

    The books are closed above a certain ranking.

    Why aim so low? He should return and beat Beterbiev.

    No he will never be TBE. Top 15-20, but not of all time.

    Yes, if Floyd comes back and beat Canelo at 168 or 175 he will for sure be the best ever, if Calzaghe came back and beat Joshua I would consider him the best ever also, and the likelihood of any of that happening is less than zero so it’s silly to even talk about it.
