    Not a fact, and how do you know he measures up technically, you have no clue of history and admit that yourself!

    as far back as yourself yes. but i have seen the greatest fighters of post and pre war eras and i beleive floyd skill level and fighting heart stand up there with the best of them.

    it is a fact whether you like it or not.

    It's not a fact, just your opinion. Facts have proof to back them up and you have none.

    And no you haven't and it's not about how far back, it's about the depth. Please stop guessing and just admit you're biased for modern fighters ;)

    It's not a fact. I doubt Lennox Lewis would swap.

    Lewis won the first fight (although it was scored a draw) but lost the second fight yes.

    Did you actually score the fight?

    Nice to see you agree with the rest of my post though :deal

    Hahahahahaha

    I have given you 6 fights from his career which all add up to the man being a fraud as an ATG.

    Do not worry about the way I express this to you, its to make it entertaining to read, unlike your boring posts

    Apart from the most obvious issue with him being an ATG British, the fact that the guy is actually Canadian:yep:bbb

    Not just you Knighty.Dont know about all time,but think this lad has potential to be a great(British born)heavy.I like David Price,and he has potential too,but as has been suggested,his career isnt going at a rapid rate.Think hell go pro next year.Dont agree with those who say hes not ready,hes an Olympic gold medallist.

    Floyd's skill-set is AMAZING.

    He has it all.

    As much as i think he is a scumbag as a person, he can stand with greats.

    Totally agree with this. Modern fights do have a hard time off fans who give old timers passes for the same "discretions".

    Whilst I think boxing IS poorer than in days gone by, we should still try and judge fighters as fairly as possible across the generations and allowing for the times they fought in.
