    Youre digging a deeper hole for yourself with every post Pac had surgery for his shoulder right after the fight But didnt Floyd claim he had the same rotator cuff injury against Castillo & that why he really lost to him?? I guess Leonard's caressing & stroking cured Floyd's huh
    Give it up sunshine you are just making a fool of yourself

    i understand what you're saying, but calzaghe's best win against a prime opponent was kessler.
    there's no depth to his resume which is heavily padded.
    floyd, for example, has a couple of dozen kessler+ opponents.

    Wow, you really got hung up on that huh? If Calzaghe came back and beat AJ it would trump anything Floyd did but it will never happen so why are you even debating this, it was just as silly as Floyd coming back to beat Canelo at light heavy.

    Btw this is not a argument who’s better, Floyd obviously has the better resume, this was just a silly example of things that would never happen, you can input any undefeated fighter of your choice that have been retired for many years to go up multiple weight classes and beat the best fighter in that weight.

    i agree that calzaghe coming back and beating AJ would trump anything floyd did, but nobody became the GOAT by one fight alone, that was my point.

    Canelo is prime and 3 weightclasses above Floyd. What the hell does Floyds age have to do with anything. How is a win over prime pac better than this win over Canelo just because Floyd would also be in his prime? Pacquiao is a greater fighter than Canelo but Canelo being 3-4 weightclasses above Pacquiao more than makes up for that.

    Im sure if the poll had Pac instead of Floyd the poll wouldnt be as close as it is now. It would be like 85 votes yes to 20 votes no.

    It's right up there, got to be honest. He's not my favorite guy but can't say he came back and did that he's not right up there.

    Beats him up or wins A Side decision? There are many ways to win in boxing. Some victories mean ****.
