    that he is an atg fighter but you don't like his cherry picking. you want him to fight manny or a top natural welterweight but deep down you believe that head to head floyd will beat any of them if he chooses to test himself against them? you just want to see him take the challenge.

    A great fighter who is very gifted,But Not an ATG yet,he has to step it up to prove hes worthy of ATG status

    I like him but it pisses me off that he doesn't want to test himself at WW knowing he has all the skills in the world to beat elite competition. Floyd's probably still a atg but at the bottom of the list.

    Most casual people I know think Floyd talks too much **** but it a good boxer.
    A lot of people just want to see him lose and shut up.

    he's a great fighter but not as good as people make him out to be. There are other active fighters who are better like Pac and RJJ (not currently obviously)

    One of the rare fighters where his resume isn't entirely dependent on him being considered a bona fida top 30 ATG. Its pretty much indisputable to me that he is, and most folks. The amazing thing is, if he took these fights, not only would he have won, but he would be talked about up there with Langford, Robinson etc. He still has time though.

    There is just no fathomable way I can see Pacquiao winning a fight against him, and on the subject same goes for Mosley, Williams & Pavlik.....Yes Pavlik.

    He's that good, he just hasn't proved it yet to the resume brigade. And fairly so.

    That is why he is not an ATG.

    You seriously think Pacquiao is a greater boxer than Mayweather on any other area other than resume?

    That's just blinkered if you are saying that clear cut. Of course.

    I beg to differ.

    He hasn't fought who he should have fought by now but nobody is telling me a manny or so are greater boxers, no way. Manny can be beaten, I already know how the fight will pretty much go against the cliche that some think it will, and will post my prediction come fight night, yes when the inevitable happens.

    definately.

    As a WW, I'm not so sure, I still think Pac is small for this division even though he was good enough to destroy Cotto's ass. But p4p, PAc is the better fighter, not only greater. No doubt in my mind.

    Im a big fan of his but if he dosent fight the best he should not go down as one of the true ATG.

    Mayweather is a sucka
    Only thing faster then his mouth his is feet because he runs like hoe all the time
    why box if you can take a punch or atleast like to get hit, atleast from time to time.
    throw jab and hes all over the place trying to avoid, bending over all sorts of ways, side to side, shoulder rolls.wtf he think this is ?
    he punches soft and he has fragile hands, so wtf can he do ? punch with num hands want work all the time.

    he needs to put up or shut up, get his **** together.im tired of the games.

    I am frustrated he does not always fight the best but he wanted to fight pac and now he wants mosely...floyd is 100% an ATG....there is noone 154 or under that would be favored to beat him...there is a reason for this...

    -he has been fighting since he was 3 with a great amateur pedigree
    -he won a world title in just hi 19th fight I believe and has now had 21 title fights
    -he has won title in 5 weight classes
    -he has dominated every fight thouroughly he has been in but 2
    -he beat the #1 ranked fighter at 130-135-140 (hatton, although he was 147 champ at the time) 154 ODLH...zab was the #1 ww when he lost to baldo whom floyd spanked then beat zab anyway
    -he has DOMINATED the following fighters
    Diego Corrales
    Arturo Gatti
    Ricky Hatton
    jesus chavez
    angel manfredy
    genaro hernandez
    zab judah
    baldo
    JMM
    famoso
    philip ndou
    emmanuel augustus
    chop chop corley

    -he won clear dec vs castillo in the second fight...first was close but he got the dec and against ODLH....two great fighters

    how on earth is this guy not an atg????:deal

    he is 40-0 and far tougher than u will ever dream to be...he is a great talent and a pure boxer...why the **** would he change anything about the way he fights...if he is just a runner than why can noone catch him and noone else be like him
