It's a shame that two of the best fighters in the world can't seem to negotiate a fight. Two ATG's...Two P4P kings...Two multi division/time world champions...in the same weight class, yet worlds apart.:-(
I know I'm going to get hated on for saying this but I think floyd probably deserves mid to late teens or early 20s at worst. Not happy to admit it but he's a very very brilliant fighter. And at 130/135 lbs he was the total package.
But not an elite ATG, he hasn`t taken the golden opportunity to cement his place as the undisputed best fighter of the era vs pacquiao (& vice versa), a fighter that he would be a favourite to beat... because of these actions - or lack of - he simply does not deserve to be ranked beside men that did fight their top challenger.... like SRL, Hearns & Duran did vs each other... like Whitaker & Chavez did vs each other.
Brilliant talent doesn't equal being ranked that high. . . It's what you do with that talent. . . He's definitely top 50 right now, probably around 40th. . . He could very well end up being top 20 depending on what he does with these last 2-3 years of his career.
