Would you consider Floyd an ATG if he had fought and beaten Kosta, Margarito and Pac?

    Tszyu and Pacquiao would've been great wins over Hall of Fame-level guys. Margarito was a plaster-loading club fighter.

    Woulda, coulda, shoulda........

    I already rate Floyd as an all-time great but wins over Tszyu and, especially, a 2010 Pacquaio would have added quite a bit to his legacy.

    I always thought Floyd would shut-out Margarito, so that one wouldn't have made much difference.

    The one major requirement for any serious fighter in this generation is to fight and beat Concreto. If any fighter fails to call out this era's Hagler and beat him then he's simply not mentally equipped to be a true all-time great.

    i still don't get your logic.ok kosta was great win for hatton,but now the confusing part floyd beat ricky and people keep downplaying that win.

    but somehow in some universe kosta would have been better win for floyd than ricky :think

    and don't say kosta was shot,he was shot in the 90's when phillips show who was kostas daddy!and hatton was undefeated but it's still worse win than kosta would have been?

    PLEASE stop saying margo.margo was shot to **** already.lost already multiple times and after that PROVEN cheater and PROVEN to be ****.margo is like baldomir nothing more.easily find over 10wins for floyd who are better than concreto.

    if floyd can move down to 140 and concurrently hold the belts at 140, 147 and 154 floyd would not only have a case to be considered an ATG but the ATGreatest.

    Of course. And maybe add Paul Williams, who called Floyd out after beating Margarito. Floyd ducked both guys like the plague.

    With at least Kosta and Pac in His resume at their prime would catapult him at the top 10 already close to top five.
    Fighter that floyd could have fought at that weight.
    Freitas when He beat Casamayor at 130 lbs
    Casamayor at 130 lbs, great fight
    at 135 maybe Spadafora just to shut the sparring myth.
    140 lbs Kosta, Many Pacman
    147 Margo

    is manny still affraid of needles?how about the stadium?is the cut healing well?

    hatton beat kosta,hatton was undefeated,nobody rates that win for floyd.kosta was exposed already in his so called prime against phillips.floyd was at LW when so called kosta was in prime,magically he was washed wen lost to hatton?i suppose he was washed against phillips too?after that comes the 2prime.:patsch

    and put the margo name out of there.already exposed multiple times before that!no big wins on resume and also proven cheater..baldomir=margarito

    Floyd's already an ATG. Pac is a hypejob, Kosta is a frontrunner, Margarito I could give 2 shits about.

    Floyd's already an ATG. Top 30 for me currently. Wins over Pac, Kotsya and Marg would put him in top 20, possibly top 15.

    **** margo, if he had've fought kostya when he was RING champ
    at 140, which floyd could've done, and manny who KO'd Hatton
    then i'd have him in line with SRR and Hank armstrong.
