Hypothetical: Floyd dominates DLH enroute to a wide UD...

[+= El Jefe=+]

no offence but neither Cotto or Hatton are all "that" great either how would beating them make Floyd an All time Great???

[K-DOGG]

Whoa, slow down, Tex. Pound-for-pound All Time for dominating a 34 year old De La Hoya??

That win in addition with his victories over Hernandez, Manfreddy, Corales, Chavez, Castillo, Judah, and Baldomir vs the resumes of Robinson, Armstrong, Langford, Pep, Greb, Gans, Leonard (Benny), Walker, Charles, Fitzsimmons, Wilde and so many others....


Uh, uh. He ain't there yet. He's got some more work to do....quite a bit.

[DiegoFuego]

He's undefeated, a champion in 4 weight classes, 5 if he beats Oscar, and he's dominated every man he's ever faced...and woman! He's one of a kind and easily ranks up there. If he beats the middleweight champ, he's top 3 all time without a doubt.

[aljon]

No, i wouldn't even put him top 30 never mind top 5.

not Top 30? please name 30 boxers p4p better than Floyd?

Really? Besides saddler and manuel ortiz, who has willy pep beat thats in the ring magazine top 80 of all times. Better yet who has benny leonard beaten thats on the list. Floyd became linear welterweight champ and now he is gonna become the 154 champ. Leonard had to rely on a gift draw against an average fighter like ted kid lewis.

Of course not. It takes more than that to get in the top 10 of such an esteemed group.

Junior Lightweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight....that's three. Hatton was champ at 140; Floyd never faced him.

Other multi-division champs include Barney Ross, Henry Armstrong, Bob Fitzsimmons, Carmen Basilio, Emile Griffin, Nino Benvenuti, Roberto Duran, etc, etc. AND they did it in an age where there was only ONE champ per division; none of this multi-titlist horse**** we see today. AND that "0" is only worth the fighters it was earned against.

He ain't done enough yet to leap frog to the front of the line.

[Easy-E]

Floyd would be top 20 p4p all time with that victory in my opinion.

Average? Ted "Kid" Lewis was "average"?


I'm speachless....completely speachless.

tommy hearns was the 154 champ, not davey moore.
sumbu kalambay was considered the real middleweight champ, not iran barkely.
