Why isnt floyd listed on 'top 10 of all time' lists? EXPLAIN

Tina Turner's hubbie? Do you live under a rock or what?

 

yeah, but at least he's not a top 10 cry ba... oh wait.

 

Agreed. His early resume was outstanding. His last 5 years or so isn't. It is defined more by who he didn't fight than by who he did.

 

Damn straight, none of the top 10 ATG are black!!!

atsch

For a sec then I thought it might have been sarcasm, but then I considered the source...

 

ya seriously bro, how do you not know who Ike Turner is. The dude is p4p #1 on my list of woman beaters. Floyd is still early on in his career of woman beating tho, so if he steps up his game, he could surpass Ike.

 

In order to be the best you have to fight the best. The guy's not even fighting what more fighting the best. Shame to waste his time like that.

 

Saying Fraud is an ATG is an insult to all the real ATG who put it all on the line to prove that they deserved to be called ATG... Fraud never chased greatness, he never even attempted to prove he was the best. The only thing he was ever interested in was money and not losing that '0'. He was the end of himself in terms of legacy... His legacy will be his cowardness and ducking...

 

The men in the top 10 lists have usually fought better fighters but on ability he is definitely a top 10 fighter IMO.

I know I`ll probably take some **** for that comment but who gives a ****... Im sure I`ll be ok.

 

Because Floyd hasn't fought a Manny Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez or even a Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito. He seems to have the skills and talent to beat them all, but talk is cheap my friend. Just because I disagree with you you want to call it hate then your ignorant, because I don't hate on or am envious of no one. But if that's your version of a hater and you think I'm one I don't care at least I don't fall for the hype. I think Floyd is the best p4p when it comes to defense and his talent, but he hasn't put it to the test vs someone around his age, weight, or size.

He is larger than Manny, yet he won't fight him. That tells you alot. Sergio Martinez is the same size and abit heavier, but he is older and could meet those 2 at a catch weight. Having victories over a past his prime Mosley, a limited fighter like Hatton beaten at 147 not 140, and a lightweight like Castillo who I consider great, but some don't, as your best wins is respectable, don't get me wrong, and no doubt Floyd is an atg, but not him or Pacquaio deserve to be top 10. At least not yet. If Floyd dominates Pacman in embarrassing fashion, I'll have Floyd top 20. If Pacman embarrasses Floyd in any way, I'll have him top 15 for being the smaller man, having to put more effort, and proving his wins over Cotto, Margarito, and Clottey were not flukes. There's no easy way out. You fight with your fists, not your mouth.

 

Floyd may be in the Top 20 Welters of all time, but there are far too many boxers in the last 100 years who deserve to be ahead of him.

Heck, most of them you probably don't even know, and yet they had records as crazy as 100-3 and so on. I'm talking about pre-1950s boxing, where boxers took 5-6 fights a year.

 

He is p4p fantasy no.1 though.

 

limit thread making priveleges please.

 

first reply. :deal

 

His biggest wins dont stack up to a lot of other fighters. Ive never heard anyone make a case of why he should be reguarded that highly. Right now active fighters such as Manny and Hopkins rank higher imo and thats just active guys. Thats not to say Floyd isnt a great fighter, he is, but he hasnt reached those hights yet.
