Is Floyd the Best of all time?

Health would have came first for Duran also, he would have asked for all kind of tests plus moving the goal post every time.

 

Hes in that class but the best no. His comp is lacking and his willingness to fight all comers is lacking. He also has no punch power. Floyd has the talent but lacks the heart

 

And Pac has the IQ of a dead squirrel.

 

No, and he damn sure isn't anywhere close to the greatest of all time either because quite a few fighters have accomplished far more than he has or ever will. Prime for prime I believe SRR, SRL, RJJ and a few others were clearly better, so I don't think he should ever be referred to as the best or the greatest unless you're only talking about his era.

 

Yup that sounds like Duran alright!

 

No but he's the best of this era. He's a top 25 ATG right now. If he finishes his career 49-0 or 50-0 he'll be a top 15 ATG.

 

Great skills, natural abilities, and high ring IQ is an almost unbeatable combination. His quality of opponents have been very good, never great, but you can bet he'd most likely be picked as the favorite to beat anyone up to 160. Not much of a risk taker like legends of the past. So basically not a matter of can't just won't, at least now.

 

Floyd is the GOAT no doubt. Can you imagine Duran best win is Corrales .

 

I totally agree!

best of this Era no doubt, not close either.

It will be hard not to say hes not a top 15, top 10 great. Yes some of the Criteria is Resume and hes is very good, i mean he fought everyone expect Pac and i blame Pac and who knows maybe that fight happens.

But one and i think the highest part of grading an ATG is skills and how hes done in his fights. Mayweather has had 1 close fight his whole career 9I had it 7-4 and 1 even against Castillo) and spanked him in a rematch. to win so many fights against all top competiton is very amazing even if u say these fighters are not great. plenty of HOF'ers and people fighters that could go on to be great (Canelo could end up going like 60-2 and makes Mayweather win alot better) so ore time will tell. But u cant deny hes on of the best that has stepped in. I mean hes lost like 8 rounds in his last 5 fights, thats RIDICLOUS!!

 

Hmm wonder why you brought up Manny since I didn't :think
