    He has taken a big bite out of boxing for his own selfish reasons. Look at the fights that could have happened and the fights that did happen.

    What a waste.

    If Pac vs PBF does not happen it will be a traversty.

    Unfortunately Floyd left his balls back at `35... He's wasted his best years on gimme's...

    Because he talks a lot of trash and then cherry picks his opponents.

    He is not the only one undefeated. Julio Cesar Chavez JR is undefeated
    like Floyd, but both of them has not faced the toughest challenges yet.

    I have to disagree with this. I would have agreed if you stated Floyd's record at 147lbs was laughable...at least at the minute anyway. It's ok listing names like that for Mosley, but the only reason Floyd's past opponents in the lower weight classes have been discredited is because unfortunately most havn't gone on to have great careers after Floyd has fought them...and they are being discredited more and more on this forum. If you look at the bouts at the time they happened, no they arent the biggest names now, but they were seen as very dangerous for Floyd.

    You might say a lot of things bout FMJ but this comparison is insane! JCC Jr.? JCC Jr.? He shouldnt be in a conversation with an elite fighters name in it.

    Noone doubts his talent, it's just that he "manages" his career too much instead of just fighting whoever's available.

    Real ATGs don't cherrypick opponents or ask for Olympic style drug testing (justified or not) from opponents with THAT much money on the table. It's his career so he can do what he wants, just don't expect people to make him a top 10 ATG with that ****.:bart
     
  11. There's no doubt in my mind that he's a great fighter but he's just a little bit too camp for my liking.

    u draw conclusions from BOTH sets of facts negatives and positives. You broke his whole career down to denote him as an ATG because your ATG criteria is different from others...so u constructed your argument to project such. You say he is an HOF'er but nothing in this article even suggests an HOF'er.

    no problem with your opion at all but its extemely agenda motivated because im sure as you will see that his career can be built up to be ATG caliber.

    on another note...how do u rate Pac?
