    You ever think no one is on his level? I'm a boxing fan first Money has become one of my favorite boxers over time this is about who is the greatest of this generation and its not close.Think about this when facing a champ is considered an easy win that's called GREATNESS.......Take the hater glasses off enjoy one of the best ever.

    I have never said money makes someone a better fighter and as far as resumes I'll refer to my earlier post.

    G.Hernandez,Manfredy,C.Hernandez,Chavez,Ndou>Sasakul,Lebeweda,Larios, D.Diaz,Solios

    #2 JWW/WBC Champ Gatti<Undisputed JWW Champ Hatton although off recent KO loss

    Castillo x.2 >or equal to Barrera x.2. Barrera is a HOF LEGEND no doubt but Castillo is still considered "The Best Lightweight of His Era".

    Undefeated P4P Corrales>Fighting Morales 3 times losing the 1st bout and fighting him off of embarrassing losses to Barrera,Rhamem, and finally Pacquiao then retiring for awhile shortly after.

    Mayweather beating Marquez in 09 before Pac-Marquez III/IV although with weight bs and Marquez to this day not wanting a rematch because he's know's he's gonna lose even though they are currently #1/2 in the same division> Pacquaio having to fight Marquez 4 TIMES because the general consensus and even Marquez himself felt he Beat Pacquaio ALL 4 TIMES the last one by an astounding KO

    #2 JMW/WBC Champ Hoya of off KO win>Cotto after devastating loss and another "close decision/loss".

    Undisputed Champ Baldomir>Clottey coming in off an "official loss".
    #1 WW/WBA Champ Mosley>Hoya at 147
    #2 WW/WBC Champ Ortiz>Margarito at 150 for vacant 154 title
    #3 WW/Mandatory Guerrero = "official loss" to #1 JWW/P4P Bradley
    #1 JMW/WBA Champ Cotto>Mosley off a loss and draw

    and Currently #1 JMW/Unified Champ Alvarez although at 152>Rios off of a loss.

    Ok lets put this into perspective once more .......

    1... Floyd is an incredibly naturally talented boxer. His God Given skills are incredible BUT skill alone does not make any boxer best of his generation. To be the best Floyd would also need the cojones (balls) & heart of real champion. There I am afraid Floyd was cursed with the balls of a gnat & the heart of the cowardly lion in wizard of Oz.

    2... A real ATG takes on all comers fights them all. Floyd picks and chooses who he wants to meet. I have never seen any person, let alone a professional boxer, think up more ridiculous excuses not to fight anyone. he thinks could beat him.

    3... He insists that every advantage be given him in every contest he doess accept
    He refuses to fight anywhere but Vegas... Why???? Because he has the commission in his back pocket turning a blind eye to his indiscretions. The officials are all his hometown neighbors. He's weight drained all his last opponents.
    The sad part is Canelo would have a chance of beating Floyd on a level playing field. BUT Canelo will not get an anywhere near level field. He knows that, I know that & if your honest everyone else knows that. Canelo has to KO Floyd to get a draw its that simple.
    Yes Floyd has the skills of an ATG but the balls of a gnat & will never be more than a wannabee in my book

    He's miles ahead of the pack this much I know ..Its a shame that he's the Ferrari racing Honda Accords. No hate just don't like everything I see ..


    And since I don't and i'm part of that paying public I demand better .Not my fault I have watched other boxers do it better .The waters have calmed down and Floyd is the only shark in the water .He's great but not as great as you make him out to be . Its alright to have independent thoughts . Plus I never wear sunglasses indoors ..That's for ass holes ..


    If this generation has Floyd as their king hey I have no issues with that ..It was his path to greatness is what I questioned.

    Floyd is the better fighter
    Manny has, thus far, the better career

    When rjj was so far ahead of his division that peep le wanted to see a challenge

    He stepped up

    Floyd fought on cw

    Floydkke had always had the talent, no dispute
    The skills to be the best defensive boxer there ever was

    But his résumé is empty

    It would be like Leonard ducking Duran, hagler and hearns
    Still a great talent but something missing
