    According to you beating the No1 pound for pound fighter (Pac) does nothing for one's legacy because YOU think the No 1 pound for pound is a "coward". :rofl:rofl:rofl:patsch

    Then again who the **** are you ??????:?:lol:

    Enough said.:smoke

    Foxy doesn't often see the forest for the trees, unfortunately. He gets very myopic at times.

    Of course, just about everyone wanted to see Pac v. Mayweather in 2009-2011 to determine the number 1 pound for pound fighter. It would have meant more for Mayweather to beat Pac then than when he actually did beat him.

    Ray could do everything Floyd could do but he also hit much harder, was meaner and had the killer instinct...he was better

    Exactly. Floyd's a great boxer, but SRL was both a great boxer and, if necessary, a great fighter.

    People seem to say that a lot around here but I don't see it. Two very different fighters. Floyd had better defensive reflexes (maybe?), better counterpunching, and more precise/accurate punching. Smarter too, in terms of being able to adapt to what his opponents are doing. I agree that SRL's combination of size and speed is probably too much for Floyd but I disagree with this idea that Floyd's a poor-man's SRL or something.

    And who the **** are you?:nut

    Your opinion is of no consequence to me at all. I stick with the reality. Mayweather asked for testing for both fighters, and Pac bricked it. Simple as that.

    What you are saying is just as stupid as claiming if Ali had won the FOTC his resume would have looked better despite him beating Joe F twice, and forcing him to retire after 14 rounds in one of them.

    don't tell me you are trying to claim Floyd would of beat SRL ??

    SRL would kick the living shyte out of Floyd,,,Granted Floyd was at 130 for his prime so its a little unfair in by "degree",,,,
