    Floyd didn't lose to Castillo did he?

    And again, I never said Floyd is the best ever. It's a ridiculous thing to say. But you claim it's silly to even compare him to Whittaker, Hearns or Leonard? Nah.

    Mayweather won a bronze at the 96 olympics, hes won 5..........5 WBC world titiles, the true world title. He was undefeated, and never in real trouble. he only ever got knocked down because he broke his hand. I think you really have to go and watch back some of his fights, get on youtube, the guys is ridiclious.

    its not just me that things this, Nas Hammed, Johnny Nelson and Paul Mallignaggi recently said Mayweather is the best of all time.

    Theres no better fight from the last 10 years. Mayweather wanted to fight Cotto 3 years ago, it didn't happen, he wanted to fight de la hoya for a long time, it didnt happen for a long time.

    the fact your butting hearns, whitacker and leonard up against Mayweather is silly. Mayweather was at his best as a Super Feather/Lightweight. there he was untouchable. He would have beat duran, and in my opinion, whitacker is hugley over rated.

    i except that now people do not feel the same way as me, many in the 70s-80s said the same about Leonard. in 10 years Floyd will be in most peoples top 10s.

    anyone that says hes not in the top 50 is a fool. 5 wbc titles in 5 weights!!!!

    Mitchell needs to step up and face a decent fighter before he seizes over - hes always having a go at khan saying hes been exposed and all this ****. - who has Mitchell fought? hes fought 30 bums, how many fights does he expect to have in his career 80? - only in his last two fights as he stepped up

    hes ONLY beat TWO legit opponents - not even that, ONE former OK domestic fighter carl johaneson - and he got smashed about by estrada a journeyman

    khans faced better fighters than him - it aint a khan vs mitchell competition but he thinks hes clever saying khans a hype job.. and im gonna clean up the SFW division - "im the next big thing innit bruv" - khans just a p*ki

    i think in his little mind he thinks coz khan struggled with gomez he'd beat khan!!!!!!!!

    He should fight Gomez or Limond - limond would beat him up

    The WBA strap is intrinsicly no more important than any of the other 4 major straps these day. The real champ can have any one or more of em. For heavens sake at SMW the WBO strap is has become the premier belt or at least the hardest to attain. Fighters make the belts not the other way round.

    Fighters often break their hands... what has that got to do with going down? ****, I've never seen Calzaghe on the deck from a broken hand and he's done it several times.

    You are wrong about Duran. He would have handed Mayweather a beating. Whitaker is a very underrated fighter if anything, the guy had talent to spare. Leonard and Hearns both fought far tougher opposition than mayweather ever faced.

    I could see him being top 50, I could also see him not being top 50. Sorry but that doesnt make me a fool. Dont get hung up on the WBC strap.. its more important to fight the best fighter of a division, not the one that happens to have a green belt. Can you say he did that? And no, in 10 years time he will only be in the top 10 in his own mind and that of his fanboys, he didnt beat the kind of opposition that warrants top 10.

    Mitchell is lookling a more solid prospect than Kahn at this stage now.

    Substance is starting to out stay the hype.
