IF Floyd stops the great Ricky Hatton, is PBF the GOAT?

For one SRR is faster stronger smarter and can go 15 rounds. SRR will unleash a pwerful combination on the smaller guy PBF. PBF knows deep inside that he cant beat SRR.Comment

But I think Paulie feels that way because he likes classic boxers. And PM acknowledges that PBF has alot more pop than he does. I think Paulie looks at PBF and sees a guy who does EVERYTHING better than himself, and he admires that guy. No harm in that.
All I tell people is that if you can't/won't put PBF on the shortlist of GOATs, then do NOT bring up Marciano's name either.Comment

And no. I think PBF very much BELIEVES that he is GOAT. Floyd was 130 and calling out Oscar Delahoya.Comment

I think that Mayweather probably would have been drawn into a slugging match, and would have lost. But it would NOT be a blowout.
I feel that Floyd belongs in the ring with ANY fighter who has ever laced on gloves. Not saying he is the best. But he is NEVER outclassed. Ever.Comment

Yeah. And PM said it so definitively.

I think Pernell Whitaker would have beaten SRR in a mythical p4p matchup.

I agree with you 100% PBF has already done more then what Marciano has. If PBF doesn't belong on the shortlist then Marciano doesn't either. Anyone can be undefeated fighting bums. PBF in fact fought the belt holders. Also defeating people that are naturally bigger then him.
At that point, would people see him as one of history's great LW's?
There is no doubt in my mind that Floyd would have dominated the 135 division for a long time. He had already beaten the two killers @ LW. Much of the criticism he gets is because of his style. But he changed that style for Baldomir and Delahoya ONLY.
Anyone who criticizes PBF as "a runner" just started watching boxing. They need to remember that PBF is naturally a little guy. He just got to 140 about seven fights ago.Comment
