    Floyd is an ATG, as rated by the vast majority of boxing experts. I have long been of the opinion that Floyd will go down as the highest placed ATG with no real defining win. He has a whole bunch of dominant wins against B and B+ level fighters, but maybe I'm wrong. I say it a lot: Duran has SRL; SRL has Duran and Hagler; Ali has Foreman and Liston; Jones has Toney and Hopkins; Pacquiao has Barrera and Morales; even Rigo has Donaire. We dont need any haterism in here, and we especially dont need any mention of Pacquiao.

    Plain and simply, what was Floyd's finest hour?

    Snap. That JMM win was totally scratched from my mind. He should be included as an option. Anyway I dont think JMM could possibly win the majority of votes, seeing as Chris John and Freddie Norwood would have a better career-defining win than Mayweather, if that were the case.

    Besides Corrales, Canelo, Castillo in the second fight, & Hatton, what other great win does he have? Mayweather's legacy is a sham built by his promotion company as they admitted to cherrypicking his entire career to stay safe after he reached a certain level. It's no surprise Pacquiao was the fighter of the decade chosen by the opinions of those who matter as they saw right through the bull**** of mayweather.

    Diego Corrales, that is his career defining fight for me.

    I actually voted Canelo. I think Corrales and Castillo are both shamefully average as far as champion-level fighters come, and DLH was 34 and firmly past it (but still B level). Cotto is comfortably better than all of those, but I think Cotto is B+. I think Canelo is the first A-level fighter that floyd has fought, but no one else seems to agree. Canelo will have time to prove himself in his career however, so this should soon be answered.

    Probably Hoya or Castillo. Hoya slightly past it yet still an ATG coming off a KO win of a highly rated Champ, while being #1/2 JMW at the time of the May fight. Or Castillo a prime ATG LW who holds wins over almost all the top LW's of the late 90's early 00's. Not to bring him into the discussion but the TS specifically mention Pac's win over EM as career defining, well there no way you can consider that a defining win and then discredit May-Hoya, Hoya is higher all time than EM and the version of Hoya May beat is better than the EM that showed up in any Pac fight.

    Id rather sleep with 10 girls who were a B

    Rather then 2 who were an A, and one of the two dumped me (lost)

    De la hoya at 154 at 34 was still very game, and had the tools to beat lil floydie

    It made floyd a superstar

    Thats his breakout win

    How many other 140ers would of beat a 34 oscar at 154?

    Just one, his names money now

    Lol why would you compare elite-level boxing wins to some bitches. You shouldnt be lucky to hook up with anybody son, they should be lucky to grab you. You need some attitude changing here.

    Anyway quality over quantity every time, with boxing wins and with women.

    You got my point.

    Oscar at 154 is A for me,

    B level and A level, people could argue for either, same with bitches

    I like quality too, floyd chased A level when he was up and coming.

    Him being an Olympian, know one wanted it.

    When floyd became a star, everybody wanted a slice. They had to hand pick cause everybody wanted floyd.

    Thats not floyds folt.

    Btw, the b level bitches might have bigger assets :thumbsup
