The defenition of a great fighter is some someone who faught everyone outthere to be consider the best... sugar ray ,hagler, hearns and duran where the best in there time and they all faught eachother cause they wanted to be consider the best .Why did floyd didnt stay at welter and fight the good young fighters like cotto,margarito etc, instead he moved up to 154 to fight a out of his prime de la hoya.

greatness is about determintation refusal to lose capturing the moment, duran vs leanord is a great example

well pbf moved up for the money and as i say if does not retire like he says he will i think we will see some of those fight come off, money is a heavy determinant nowadays, oh the greed.

There are two theads already about it, let's discuss it on the earlier thread. And I agree with you.

I was once a rabid PBF fan who thought he's a candidate for p4p greatness, but when I looked at his resume and analyzed things, I realized something was wrong.

What convinced me that PBF was a joke was when he insulted Marg, I never really liked Marg but when Marg responded, it was clear he was stuttering like a coward and had the balls to make excuses and settled for Baldo which with all due respect was vastly inferior to him, yet he insisted on fighting him.

That is not greatness. Only cowardice.

but if he retires wouldnt you think he retired because he was scared of fighting the young fighters? be honest...

Then hooking you off on your own argument, PBF is indeed not great. Greatness bypasses petty issues of money and proceeds to face all challenges against him.

Not fight an over-the-hill and almost retired DLH.

Money is not an excuse. Only a sign that it is not greatness.

no i would think he had enough money and dont have a love for boxing anymore and dont blow this up ( but yes he may want to retire with his "0" intact).
