    And never been an Alt, perhaps choosing this username box33 is my demerit, as i just used my car's plates & the word box as something that would be easy to remember due to me always having forgetting my user details,

    Now in hindsight i would have perhaps been better going with a throughout name but back then i didn't envision myself becoming an active messaging member on here, so that's that.

    It would have made no difference.
    I would still have him at 14 p4p and 4 at welter.


    If he'd faced Pac in 2009 or 2010, assuming he still won, I might have moved him up one notch to 3 at Welter.

    But he'd sill be at 14 in my p4p rankings, as I have SRL at 13 here.

    Undisputed only means something because it suggests you beat all the other champions/highest ranked opponents in your weightclass.

    Haney’s undisputed road for instance, though commendable that he went into “enemy territory”, is nigh meaningless except for promotion.

    Judges help lol who did he need the judges to beat? Castillo was the one fight that was close. You're not one of those weirdos that thought oscar won?

    Best fighter ever by a country mile.

    Look at what he did across 3 eras at least. Most fighters were never the same after he dealt with them. Answered every single challenge and overcome adversity in and outside of the ring.


    Legend.

    look at the calibre of opponents he fought. No one has that amount of quality.

    Really can you send me that post where Freddy says it was there fault the fight never happened.pacqiuao said no to the blood work than a week later agreed to it the fight should have happen then both were still young.you only find out who is better when two young fighters fight each other & still have their skills means nothing when one old beats another old man. Leonard's,Durans,Hearns, Hagler etc all fought each other when they still had their skills that's why those fights were great & even though these men have losses on their records they came against other great boxer's.floyd wants credit for beating former good boxer's like 39 year old Mosley who rocked Floyd in the second twice what do you think a prime Mosley would have. Done. He did fight a prime Castillo twice although most sport
    I agree. Boxing commission have their own rules & blood test but sees himself as special & cared more about his 0 than fighting the best. He is the only boxer to want special & just for this fight because he was legitimately scared of a prime Pacquiao . When they eventually do fight it means nothing because Pacquiao at 36 no longer has the skills that he had & Floyd was also well past his prime . The only way to judge who is truly the best between two great boxer's is fight each other in their prime when both have their skills like in my day when the Leonard's,Hagler,Duran,Hearns etc all fought each other.

    2:23 of this video he plainly says it was kinda their fault because they didn't want testing stop this myth that pbf ducked pac because it's not true pac ducked pbf because of testing during the 1st negotiations and anyone who followed boxing back then already knows this.

    No, but I would rank him higher if he fought opponents in their prime.

    You Guarantee wrong lol Oscar was shot Look how Pac embarrassed him. But that was Karma too for ducking Margarito after he bragged he wanted the winner of Cotto/Margarito 1. Till he saw Margarito destroy Cotto

    Pac and Floyd were weary. But you know what - they both ended up getting paid WAY more than they would've been when the fight was hot. Can't fault the two really.
