Mosley,Trinidad,De La Hoya,Morales-Barrera..Hall of Famers but a Cut Below the Greats

I agree. That's my contribution to this thread.

 

They were all fighting each other in their prime, genious. Hence the losses.

 

Add roy jones to that list!!

 

No.

 

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr are the best two fighters among the list, but the other fighters were great also. They are all immortals. Barrera and Morales will never be forgotten thanks to their trilogy, and De La Hoya, Mosley, and Trinidad were all involved in memorable fights against prime opposition, fights which will be revisited over and over. I think Pacquiao take can take great pride in knowing that he had those memorable wars, and can still consider himself to have had a greater more accomplished career than that of Floyd.

 

+1

 

yessss... actually to me hes BELOW that list!! hes a glass jaw fraud

 

If Manny and Floyd fight, 1 of them would have a decisive lose in his prime, would he cease to meet your criteria for great? What if they fought a few times and both shared the wins?

 

Not so fast there.

Pac and FLoyd are definitely the top of the welters right now but that is only because the current crop of top welters was weak in comparison to previous best Welter class(DLH, Trinidad, Prime Mosley, Quartey, etc).

The fact that a 38 year old was considered the top of that class and that is only cause he had a great performance against Margarito-who most in here consider a "punching bag"-should tell you everything!

 

atschhopeless...

 

I have my opinion... go Bleep yourself

 

uhhhh how are you defining great? They're all great. Top 20 great?No. But all of them are great.

 

fair enough but glass jawed fraud isn't exactly the most objective opinion. you can dislike jones and admit he's great

 

lol so they're not imortals.. mofo all of those fighters you mentioned will be on the HOF of boxing.. and both trinidad and DLH accomplished a lot more in boxing then mayweather and are both higher in the ATGs lists..
