    The clear difference is that Floyd never let an Iran Barkley type fighter ko him let alone beat him. And that's just one aspect on why Floyd is greater.

    Hearns fought everyone possible at there peak Floyd didn't ! How do you judge ? Does 6ft 1 knock out everyone of Floyd's Opponents ? Yes he does ! Boxing is now a PPV circus .

    Yeah, Tommy is great until you tap his chin, then he goes to sleep, the shots Pac, Mosley, Corley, Judah, Maidana landed on Floyd probably would of KO'd Hearns

    You are showing how little you know ! Hagler weighed in at 160 with the same day weigh-in rule . He over trained for his last fight and weighed 158 .

    :lol:


    What weight class was that ? Floyd made a green Canelo come down in weight he'd never fight a Barkley at his weight class !! Floyd isn't greater with his cherry picking by any means !

    So 152 means Canelo can't win? Is that how it works? Maybe if he was a better fighter/boxer than Floyd he would of won....did the 16 lbs advantage Canelo had over Floyd on fight night not matter? That don't count? You got any more excuses you want to share? Did canelo have a hurt shoulder too?

    Probably true but it would be because FLoyd would avoid a fighter like Barkley like he had the plague ROFL
    Floyd would never have survived in the 80s those guys were FIGHTER!! not Fairies

    Your missing the point I was responding to the comment that the previous poster said about Floyd would never lose to a Barkley type yet he had to drain a green Canelo but yet criticizes Hearns for losing to Barkley .

    Hang on a minute Dumbo Didn't you claim earlier that Manny couldn't lay a glove on Floyd?? Now you claim Pac landed shots that would have knocked Tommy Hearns out ROFLMAO
    Which is it idiots Youre digging a lovely big hole for yourselves when you keep contradicting yourselves :patsch:patsch

    Drained is De La Hoya vs Pacquiao....Alvarez was not close to being drained, but we already knew that would be your excuse just like GGG drained to 154 would be your future excuse

    Let's not get off topic and discuss Oscar and Manny ..

    And Alverez sure had plenty to say during the 24/7 about those 2 lbs
