    This^

    Floyd will always be consider the fighter behind PAC because all he is shoulda, woulda, and coulda. I hope you know that these boxing historian are cruel, when the demand a fight they would like to see it right away. For his ducking of Cotto, Margarito, and PAC he will never be the greatest of this era. It's a shame because the the most skilled fighter of this era.

    my thougths exactly. you cant do much about it now. so many good fights that he could have tested himself. he didnt take the test.

    now all he holds on to is beating JMM at the scales. zab. baldomir. old oscar.

    his best wins were Castillo, Hatton, and Mosley. problem here is he split with Castillo. fought Hatton at 147 after he looked like **** against Collazo. and the Mosley fight doesnt seem that impressive since he had trouble with Mora and Mayorga

    In terms of pure boxing skill, yes, he is the best of our era. In terms of accomplishments? No. Overall greatness? No.

    He already makes the cut for me.. I can't think of anyone who should rate higher, although he and Pac are almost close enough to be considered equals.

    Turn back time and not go on vacation and fight Margarito/Mosely/Cotto/Williams and to a lesser extent Pac when it was still relevant.

    Can't keep going inactive and say "would have beat them anyway" legacys are not build like that.

    Floyd probably would be the greatest of our era but his resume just does not show it.
    Also he had the potential to be knocking on the door of the top 10 ATGs but he was more concerned about his 0 and making money.
    Good for him hes very rich and has that 0 but to me he wasted his talent (which is amazing considering he accomplished a lot)

    He already is the best in this era, if you ask me. He doesn't have the most impressive resume, but in terms of talent and skill, I can't think of anyone in the past 15 years better than him.

    I consider him the best. As for other people I don't know, even when he beats Pacquiao there will still be excuses made, he waited for him to get old, he ducked him for years, etc etc etc, same old crap

    I just hope he doesn't fight on too long and start to show his age, and lose his undefeated record.
