Floyd wants to fight Gatti again. Gatti's ghost called him out so there's really no choice. I mean, sure Shane called him out but Shane's alive and you can't show disrespect to the dead. Shane can handle Gatti coming first.
Ok..My GOAT... 1- Sugar Ray Robinson 2- Henry Armstrong 3- Joe Louis 4- Willie Pep 5- Roberto Duran runners up - Ali, Moore, and Marciano My fav old time boxer was Jack Dempsey though!11
Good list but mayweather got PEP and Maricano beat. Maricano? what ru smoking. Maricano's best wins were against washed up louis and moore. Walcott and charles were the only decent fighters that rocky beat. How can u treat my floyd atg if he beat paul statement so lightly when u have rocky and pep on there? PEP is so overated. He fought bunch of bums and can't ko half of them. Just look at his record. He is still fighting noobs at end of his career. when did Pep or Marciano ever fought someone much bigger and dangerous like paul to floyd?
when i think of atg. i think of robinson, ali, leonard, duran, moore, dempsey, armstrong, jones jr, whitaker, floyd and manny.
Dude there is no way that Floyd is even in top 20..Fighters now-a-days just don't fight enough and don't take the kind of challenges that fighters back then did. Marciano is up there because it's not his fault the talent was not there, either way he won every fight and had one of the most deadly punches ever. BTW is Paul some beast now or something. He's already been completely outboxed by Quintana and Martinez.
Maricano and Pep's resume blows. Bottomline is how you can put maricano and pep on top 5 but think floyd shouldn't be? Floyd 5 divisions champ. Champion at 21 years of age. Highest stats in terms of accuracy and defense. Fought Generdes, manfreddy, henderaz, chavez, corrales, castillo2x, gatti, Judah, Oscar, Hatton, Marquez? All those guys he fought were at the top and after they lose to floyd picks up titles. how can pep? or maricano stand up to that?
