Since we all know Floyd is overrated, the question is

    PBF record leaves a lot to be disired IMO so by that token i think he is overated ,but on the other hand he is a fantastic fighter and definetly the most talented fighter in the world without question, but being recognised as the best for that reason instead of by the legendry fighters on your record is is not sufficent to get my complete backng as a true ATG/ Legend

    although i agree if he beats Hatton Cotto ,Mosley ,he is undisputedly an ATG

      If he DOMINATES Hatton, Cotto and another elite fighter he becomes ATG. I am not one to withhold props to a great fighter.

        Floyd is a very skilled fighter weather you like him or not!!! Hatton is also very skilled at what he does!!! I wouldnt say either of them were overrated!!! This fight could go either way!!!

        I think floyd has the goods!!!

        Floyds Gloves Smack Hattons head
        Floyds Ring Cushions Hatton fall
        Floyds Country Screams Floyds name

        I dont know why your bitching Hatton Kostya in England!!! Now he gets to show everyone how good he really is away from home!!!

          If Floyd was really great, why did he impose the condition that Hatton fight at 147 and away from England?

              He is not overrated in terms of skill or his boxing ability. He is overrated in his place among the ATG and people that say he is the greatest of all time which, without a doubt in my mind, hasn't proven. This is because of the ability and skill he shows in the ring. People will watch how he toys with opponents and looks like he isn't taking them seriously while he masterfully boxes their ears off to a win and think "this guy must be the greatest how can anyone do the things that he is doing".

                Yep i agree 100% ,i would be inclined to call Pacquaio the best p4p fighteer in the world based on the oposition he has fought but you have to give props to PBF for moving up divisions and dominating certain fighters although i dont agree Castillo & Corrales are Elite fighters they would'nt have beaten J C Chavez or Mosley in thier prime i still give them a lot of respect as top fghters just not in the Hopkins ,Pacman ,Barrera, Elite Bracket

                never the less you have to be special to do what he has done to those fighters and to make the Corrales fight so uncompetitive and dominate Castillo 2nd time around that for me was more impressive than the Corrales display

                i hope he does prove everyone wrong cause it is not right all this division about where he should be placed among ATG especially when he is claiming he is as good as the like of SRR ,SRL etc and has'nt proven that case against top Elite fighters in their prime YET

                  Lol you are contradicting yourself. You say he has to DOMINATE them to get props but if he wins he won't? You are irrational, biased, and delusional man I can't take your posts seriously because you show no sort of respect.

                    Are you even serious? After watching the Baldo and DLH fights there were those who concluded Floyd was the greatest?

                    Get out of my thread if your answer is yes.

                      We're talking about ATG here man, so the standards has to be elevated. Pac DOMINATED the likes of MAB and Morales four ***ing times why cant we expect the same from Floyd? Btw, Cotto and Hatton are leagues below a Barrera or Morales in boxing skill, so Floyd dominating them should be easy, IF HE REALLY WAS AN ATG.
