    Questionable how? He has taken hard shots from punches he didn't see coming and has never done a chicken dance and his recooperative ability is off the charts. I would say his chin is very much without question at this point.

    I believe u can't be the best ever with just defence and ring generalship

    Floyd has two of the three components

    But his attack is weak

    That's it

    James toney is a better version of floyd
    Go back and look at toney back in the day
    Look how much floyd took from him
    But toney has attack, toney has combination punching, toney has exceptional on rope ability
    Toney didnt invent it, he took it from guys befor him, but you can obviously see a young floyd watched toney and learned a lot

    His crack head daddy didnt teach him much

    Mayweather has power. Ask the fighters who have actually FOUGHT him. Armchair boxing fans don't count.

    No one walks through an accurate puncher
    You just get pot shotted all day long

    You stalk and walk him to the ropes and beat the **** out of him

    Like Castillo did
    Like cotto did

    Blueprint to beating mayweather

    Circle left, left hook
    Circle left, left straight

    Keep dreaming fool. Nobody beats PBF except father time. Cotto won how many rounds? Castillo is a nobody. Yeah he had a good fight with Mayweather and guess what? Floyd rematched him proving he had an off night. Floyd doesn't run like pinoy chickens. Look at Donaire and Pacquiao. Taking easy fights AGAIN instead of seeking out formidable opponents.

    Hahah. Prime Donaire fights Rigo. Prime Pacquiao fights Barrera and Morales. Prime Floyd fights Corrales and Castillo, and backs up the whole time. Get the fcuk outta here you fraud. Floyd hasnt fought any A-level fighters. 15 years, 0 ATG's on his record. Undefeated Calzaghe has a better win (Hopkins) than powerpuff Floyd.

    No, he doesn't finish opponents. His style is built to win by UD.

    My only criticism with FLoyd is that he doesn't go for the kill when he hurts his opposition.

    But that's probably the reason he's lasted so long in boxing and not in retirement right now, when you go for the kill against your opposition, you'll leave yourself open at times to get hit back with something substantial. Since he doesn't go for the kill, he can take his foot off the gas pedal after he knows he's up by several points and just cruise to a UD.

    That's the main difference in my eyes between him and other ATG's like Ray RObinson and Ray Leonard. When those 2 legends hurt their opponents, they almost always went for the kill. But than again, they weren't accomplishing what Floyd is accomplishing at 36-37 years of age. He's also a much better technical fighter than either of the Sugar's and his defense is only rivaled by Whitaker and Pep, although I feel FLoyd is a better defensive fighter than either of those guys as well.

    He's an absolutely remarkable fighter who has been fighting well out of his weight division now for close to 10 years. A true ATG.

    His power would be evident if he was fighting at LW or JWW. He walks around at 155 lbs, there's no reason why anyone should think he couldn't make 140 with ease. But all the big time fights for big money is at 147 and 154, so from a financial aspect it makes no sense for him to go down to the lighter weights where he probably should be, and where he'd be able to knock guys out again.

    He doesn't put combinations together as well as many other greats.
