    Most of those fighters are yet to be proven as greats. The winner of Crawford and Spence will certainly increase their accomplishments. Davis has been ducking his entire career. Stevenson is still young.

    There are a list of fighters who Floyd clearly avoided: Pacquiao (when the fight mattered 5 years before they fought), Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Kostya Tszyu, Halton at 140 where he was his strongest, SSM when he was closer to prime. He also fought a bunch of ridiculous catchweights eg JMM.

    these fighters are better than the fighters in Floyd's era. Also, it's not far fetched to think Floyd would lose to the likes of Spence, Thurman, Ennis, Crawford, and Shakur. He did lose to Castillo the first time.

    But what’s Floyd’s era?
    When Floyd was in his prime at super feather and light weight, we had monster like Oscar, Bernard, Tito, Roy, Tszyu at the top

    No they are not.. this is a funny way of looking at things. What you trying to say is for Floyd to fight p4per at each weight class he participated in?
    Which fighter in history does that?

    Floyd didn`t get to fight Tito or Tszyu because he was only a super feather at that time and super feather was not a strong division while Floyd was champ.

    I disagree.. I lived through that era.. when Floyd was a champ at 130, we have undefeated fighters like Corrales, Freitas, and Casamayor.. those 3 are better than the current 130pounder

    I lived through that era too and those 3 weren`t that great, Corrales was good but Floyd kept dipping below his waist leaving no legal target however the current top 10 super feather`s are pretty bad. The point was Floyd didn`t beat the best in his era in their prime at their best weight.
