    Floyd will be remembered as the boxer with an awesome, incredible "SUPER LOW BEND OVER DUCKING" defense. Amazing defensive skills ...

    Regardless of fighting Pacquiao or not, in due time after he retires for good, he'll easily be looked at as one of the most talented fighters, the boxing world has ever witnessed.

    Talent wise, I put him above Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. In regards to accomplishments though, he still falls behind them as long as he doesn't get his legacy defining fight with Pacquiao.

    Someone who had great talent honed by a tremendous work ethic.

    But his private troubles and dysfunctions kept him from becoming this iconic figure that he probably could have been. You know all those things.

    On the flip side Manny is carefree but pours money out of his bank account like water. Bob Arum dislikes Floyd enough not to bite on a high-risk high-reward historical matchup between Floyd and Manny, and I'm sure Floyd isn't doing everything he can to close the deal on his side.

    I'm a debt collector and the tactics we see being used are those of people who are trying to talk you off from cornering them into locking up a payment agreement by shifting between objections.

    Floyd is great below 140 but other than that I consider him as a waste of talent....

    he cannot be great if he does not fight Pacman. Even fighting him and losing will do better for his legacy than not fighting him.

    He won't be remembered. Even when he retired no one gave a crap and he was quickly forgotten. He's a negative person and will only be remembered in that context, not greatness. His negativeness makes people consider what was not great about him and that goldmine equals good riddance and boxing is better off for his absence. Next.

    He needs to ****in fight him. Cut the bull****, all of it, and get the fight signed. Same goes for Manny. Neither are top 25 ATG if they don't fight eachother.

    obviosuly he'll be remembered as a great who didn't gight the best WW's around.

    but then again going by history, wins over bald, judah, hatton, hoya, mosley, ortiz and jmm will probably look much better as time goes by.
