    where does he rank on what scale??

    I'm not avoiding the question, but I always struggle with All-time rankings.

    Can I say that harry greb or benny leonard were better or worse than roberto duran? I saw roberto fight alot. I have never seen Greb. Not even tape.

    What I WILL say is that I put mayweather in this group:

    Super A: Leonard/Whitaker/etc

    A: Roy Jones/ Mayweather/Chavez/ etc

    A minus: Hopkins/Holyfield/ Lennox, etc

    Below those guys: Delahoya, Tito, Toney, etc

    So, I would say FMJ was "best of his generation".

      People love Boxer-punchers like ODLH... but his resume, while holding a lot of names, has a lot of L's and bad decisions on it too.

      MAN, YOU SHOULD JUST DROP DOWN AND BLOW FLOYD FOR EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE.

      You are sooooo slurping his nuts it's sickening.


      Revolting is the only word that adequately describes your lust for Floyds sack!


      The nuthuggery is completely outta control on these boards.


      what Floyd fans should do is purchase librarys of fights by truly great fighters- maybe then they would know what greatness was when they saw it because most are just ***in herd mentality ***-sticks that spout ignorance like it was written in stone!


      Hatton tko10 or sooner!

          So me suggesting that people like ODLH more than Floyd... and in doing so they overrate many of his wins makes me a huge nuthugger?

          You're silly, Eaton.

            There are plenty of fighters better then those 3 that Floyd has beaten. On a p4p scale of course. Vargas and Sturm are jr.middle/middleweights. Floyd has only beaten one Jr.middleweight in his first try at 154.

            Castillo, Corrales alone are better victories then Vargas and Sturm. Quartey was a very good welterweight back in his day. If floyd beats Hatton, that will equall to the Quartey victory Oscar has.

                How can you say he is the best of his generation when in his entire career he has beaten maybe 2 elite guys in their prime? How Dios?

                  I hope he "wins" it more convincingly than Oscar did. I always liked Bazooka.
