    Maybe Floyd is just THAT good, he easily beats opponents. Did you ever consider that as a possibility?

    You guys are such trolls who love to misrepresent anyone who questions Floyd.
    Floyd IMO is the best in his era (not the greatest, but best).

    Whilst khan and his cronies will have you believe salita was a massive threat
    And a great win


    You have to look at how alot of khans fights at how he got the win many many many British stoppages illegal blow on Judah , McCloskey farce , cortez help, Diaz gift , Carlos ****ing Molina, salita ha ha , Limond gift , swerved the British , euro as deemed to dangerous it really is a lot of it smoke and mirrors

    He did do a fantastic job on feather hands Paulie though

    Cotton is a 4 weight world champion with wins over multiple work champion/ world class fighters.

    He'll walk into the HOF

    If that's a misrepresentation name the guy who shared a weight class with Mayweather he wouldn't be expected to beat easily?

    The funny thing is people ask this question then when you ask them to name someone they'll say some bullish!t like Margarito who isn't even in the parking lot of HOF, or Williams who is nowhere near either. Williams career being real isn't even as good as R.Guerrero who is closer to a prime HOFer than either.

    It is a fact on record that the only other names he could have possibly added like Freitas and Casamayor said out there own mouth they didn't want to fight, and Tyszu wasn't prime when PBF got to 140 so he'd be another ppl say was past prime or shot.

    Of guys he did actually fight Hatton is on Record am saying he wasn't ready for PBF at 140, Mosley on live TV ducked out a challenge,Cotto said on camera before there actual fight that at no point did he,Top Rank, or his trainers every try/want to make a fight vs PBF, Oscar turned deaf for years, and the great Manny Pacquiao turned down a fight 3 times the only time Mayweather said no to Pacman was when he was coming directly off the JMM loss and he told him to get some wins 1st.

    All this is proven on video record but people will just say nah he ducked, meanwhile will tell you a guy like GGG is great when his best wins Geale,Lemieux, or Murray aren't even as good or accomplished a fighter as Berto.

    This is embarrassing that fans of the sport spend so much time trying to discredit one of the best of a generation.

    Name a prime hof fighter that Marciano beat, that Tyson beat. Name a prime hall of famer that wlad beat. Name a prime hof that Larry Holmes beat. You can do this all day if your a cynical douchebag

    Kelley was prime, and at very least, at-or-near prime. Hamed beat a host of good fighters and has many defences. What is interesting about Hamed is that he did all of that with the style unlike any other. He would break so many conventional rules and gain success. A part of his induction to the HOF is also because he was the one, NOT FLOYD, who brought ££ to the lower divisions. He was seen as the entertainer, he had raw charisma etc. There's no denying that a part of his induction was because of what else he added to boxing....it wasn't a 'fanbase' like Miguel Cotto.

    None of them are Top 75 ATG's in terms of greatness. Mayweather IS a Top 75 ATG.

    Kelley was not prime and that was most definitely hameds best win. Hamed got schooled by Barrera

    IMO, you have no business talking about boxing if you question whether Floyd is an ATG.
