the defenition of a great fighter is ...

[deliveryman]

Dude, you're creaming yourself more the more you try. I suggest you just admit PBF is a joke. Anyway here goes....

Comparing SRL to PBF is a blasphemy. Don't ever compare a true great to a REAL fake ever again.

Let's see, apart from good contenders, SRL has beaten, hmm... Duran, Hearns and on paper Hagler ( I consider Hagler the winner ). Now those 3 names are all p4p greats dude.

You might be kicking yourself in arse why you just put that argument up.

Money was an issue later in SRL's career because he felt that he was yet to be truly compensated even though he has faced all the challenges and beaten the elites and greats of his era. It's just a simple case of looking to the future since I have already proven my pedigree.

Now comparing to that fake. What's PBF's resume?
Gatti
Baldo
Judah

If you know deductive reasoning, explanations are no longer needed.

LOL.

The fact that you named those 3 as Floyd's wins, just proves your ignorance. You know absolutely **** about Floyd's career, or the opponents he's faced.

[deliveryman]

After May 5th, Floyd's top 5 wins would be:

1. Oscar De La Hoya
2. Jose Luis Castillo (prime)
3. Diego Corrales (prime, undefeated, was the betting favorite going into the fight)
4. Jesus Chavez (prime, 30+ fight win streak)
5. Genero Hernandez

Name a fighter today, other than Oscar who's 5th best win is better than Genero Hernandez, who is one considered of the greatest super featherweights ever.

Lols. The fact that you keep on making excuses instead of admitting he's a fake just proves your ignorance. Try harder. Anyone who has a duck and a coward for a p4p king isn't thinking right.

After may 5th.

1. Castillo - beaten but screwed
2. an old DLH
3. Corrales - we all know Corrales is vastly inferior to him
4. Chavez who?
5. Hernandez who?

Gatti
Ndou
Baldo
Judah

That basically sums up his resume.

Pretty crappy for a resume.

Try harder.

[IronFistKilla]

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.

Sure, fighting the undisputed welterweight champion is a undeniable sign of cowardice.

Baldo? Sure dude. Sure.

Try harder.

great fighters isnt just about who ya fought
its how ya fought them
thats what to me
makes great fighters
great records can be made
stealen fights cheatin etcs
but the real great fighters stand out becuz of how they fought AND who
but mainly how
like floyd everyone says he fought nobodies
but alot of those nobodies he fought fought other so called somebodies
but werent able to handle them as easily as floyd
thats why i think floyds a great fighter
dont mistake that for floyd as one of the GREATS

[hugh grant]

A great fighter is someone who dont duck anyone. PBF is said to have fought great fighters and beaten them. Maybe those guys were overrated and due a loss. Hernandez and Corrales. THere records since losing to PBF could easily suggest they were overrated.
But you cant rest on your laurels and live off the acclaim of those wins becuase there is always someone around the corner for the next even tougher challenge and PBF hasnt taken it at 140. He is doing good work with boxing DLH but what about the 140 and 147 challenges which might have been even tougher. If he failed those challenges he wouldnt be getting it on wid DLH now.
There were good challenges there and he should achieve those goals before moving up.

You cant compare how floyd did against some of his competition compare to how other guys did against them because different styles make differnt fights. You can't compare one to the other.

But then again, you forget, greatness is not measured by belts or shallow titles.

But by resume. And manner of victory.

Running like a chicken from Baldo, a vastly inferior opponent to him is not greatness. It's called sissy. So is insulting Margarito to the bone and then stuttering like a coward making excuses on why he won't fight him.
