    LOL don't get upset...point is Floyd should have fought more frequently, should have fought at a time when 147 was one of the strongest divisions and should have fought and beaten Pacquiao in 2009/2010...he dodged too many fighters at the peak of their powers - in the last 7-8 years Floyd's resume has been woeful when he's suppsoed to be at his peak

    So how you figure that a couple of well chosen opponents now elevates him to GOAT is hilarious

    AND he 100% lost to Castillo in their first fight...

    It's all academic anyway. Not only would Floyd never entertain the idea of getting in the ring with a Heavyweight, but if he somehow did, he'd get slapped silly in double quick time. We're better off keeping this discussion in the realms of possibility, and on that basis it simply cannot be done.

    Yeah true haha

    But with victories over a recovered Manny Pacquiao and the Canelo-Trout winner and fighting until he's 38/39, I definitely see him around the 25 mark.

    A recovered Manny Pacquiao? What does that even mean?

    It's obvious - he must mean a Pacquiao who comes back in Sept looking strong and convincingly beating Marquez

    Well again, that won't happen.
