    Although he doesn't really have a bad resume per se, he just hasn't done anything that's a highlight, really. He beat a bunch of good and really good fighters, but not necessarily a great one. He captured titles in a few weight classes but never really took the time to stay at one and try to clean it out a little bit. The only thing he has is an 0 in his loss column.

    Have to disagree. He had a few highlights, namely the Corrales fight

    What he DID and what he COULD HAVE DONE will be the difference in how people will remember his career in the ring. He left a lot on the table.

    If he's look upon anything like Roy Jones is, who by all means has a perfectly good legacy, Floyd better get his ass back into the ring with a Mosley or Cotto ASAP.

    Defensive genius and ATG..

    Hard to compare eras, but with a defense like
    Floyds - he would be hard to beat in any era.

    Fighting against better fighters wouldve brought
    the best out in PBF, id like to see him fight Mosely
    though..
