    Now i know officially that you don't know anything about boxing.

    And you are very critical for Floyd resume,what about Marciano?(One of my favourites) but really?what prime ATG Marciano fight?even prime HOF.Marciano fought only couple of elite fighters in his career,when they were literally shell of themselfs.

    And also Holyfield?Frazier?you should be as critical as you are for Floyd.

    Epitome of double standards.log off please

    Yea and the only prime HOF that Floyd might have fought was Hatton. Will Corrales and Castillo make the HOF?

    It is true and it seems a sure fire way to get no response, why not critique everybody else's resume as people do for Mayweather, if you shine a light that intense on his cv, then make sure you shine it on any other fighter you prefer. It's not TBE resume but it's a very impressive one.

    It's comparatively weak compared to other ATG's.

    floyd doesn't rank as the biggest scumbag ever on the planet, but he's in the bottom half.

    Yes I agree in terms of ATG opponents, I consider it a product of the era, he's done what he needed for who was around, could've moved up but he didn't want to and wasn't expected to. It's consistent with a few poor foes but he only fights twice a year once he started making serious dough. Longevity and consistency of champions and in demand opponents.

    Even if it's a product of his era it doesn't matter when comparing him to past greats.

    You can't take away from the past greats because Floyd didn't fight multiple great fighters when they were on top of their game.

    So, Genaro "Chicanito" Hernandez not HOF, Arturo Gatti. ODLH wont be HOF, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto. And yes, Corrales and Castillo will be if they are not already HOF

    His resume reads: 12 time Champion in 5 weightclasses. 5 time Lineal Champion in 4 weightclasses. Beat 7 HOFers and 23 Legit Champions. Resume's don't get any better than that.

    Where do you rank Wlad?Lewis?etc..

    Of course if you get extrapoints for being HW.then top25 atg list should include maybe 10HW's and in top50 maybe almost 20.

    Your argument is weak man,really weak.

    So to you Ali is TBE?is Grebb in your top 50?because he was midget.

    You are obviously trolling.have a nice day.nothing more to say you.your just waste of time.keep trolling

    Stop arguing and name callibbc fellows. Let's just get brutally honest.

    Bottom line is that none of you really have a true top 100 all time great list. It would require some time to even research these fighters, watcb the fighters that we have film on, and break down the opponents of these fighters. You say Floyd foughy guys past their primes but so did a lot of atg fighters.

    My list is honestly only at 41 and that may change. I mean are you just ranking professional fighters? Teofalo Stevenson is one of the greatest amateurs ever with 3 gold medals and some believed he could have beaten Ali. Really break it down and do your own research. Yes some guys fought over 100 fights butnout that 100 maybe 10 where damn good fighters, you had some guys fighting the same guy 5 and 6 times.

    Bottom line, take everyone all time great that you can think of and start there. I don't penalize for the era they fought in. It's Prime, who they fought, eye test in their prime, weight classes, championship.

    Would you consider Salvador Sanchez an atg when he died? He already fought and beat two HOF guys. It's all opinionated bull**** anyways. Until you actually take the time and do the research to compile your own list and not Bert Sugars, **** the F**k up.
