    TBE I just can't argue with the man himself. I have never fought pro so he must be right. He has laced em up. A True Student of the Game :good

    Way ahead.... Pac is top 100.. Floyd top 20-30..... Pac has never beaten any prime fighters.....

    He got knocked out by a 40 year old man who landed almost no punches on Floyd. Floyd embarrassed him to no end, JMM wanted none of Floyd afterwards... never will...

    if you have Floyd in the top 20-30, then you have Pac in the top 10.


    Floyd's not gonna crack top 30. let alone top 50. he's nowhere near.

    Teddy Atlas is a known Pacquiao hater and has said he'd pick Mayweather to win a Pac-May bout yet he has said Manny is higher on Floyd on the ATG list. I can provide you a link if you'd like.

    Isn't even top 50.

    Floyd is a marketing genius, not a fighter that you mention as the best ever.

    Floyd's best win is over Diego Corrales.

    All due respect to Chico, but if that's your best win then you ain't the best ever.

    he will likely crack the top 20 by the end of his career if he remains unbeaten, to jump up further he need to

    fight and beat pac
    fight and win a title at 160

    Brook/ porter/ khan
    Thurman
    Pacquiao

    No need to go to mw. If Floyd beats some good, young fighters, they will continue to improve Floyd's resume after he has retired.

    Why do people place so much importance on a mythical list that isn't one bit factual. Floyd will be known as a great fighter, one of the best in his era. When the money has all dried up and he is back to being a regular old man, he can look at that achievement with pride. Not many get their names in such boxing discussions.

    Floyd would get murdered by Thurman

    If Floyd fought everyone he was supposed to, when he was supposed to, and he seeked out the best fights instead of picking his way up, I'd have no problem giving him a spot in the top 30.

    Can you imagine how BETTER his resume would be IF he had on it the following:

    Mosely
    Kosta
    Margarito
    Williams
    Pac
    Sergio
    Bradley
    Khan
    Garcia

    If Floyd would have fought and beat them at the time of them being in their prime AND without any silly weight issues, I wouldn't be able to find a hole in his game even if I tried. That would have been a HELL of an outstanding resume.
