    and I have considered quality of opposition and there is no way to truly say SRL opposition was so much better. i've seen tapes and tapes don't lie. Nothing I've seen suggest that leonard was a better boxer than Mayweather. infact they are very similar, but Floyd seems more in control in the ring and in my opinion more impressive. But hey, it's cool if u don't think Floyd is better, just don't support and defend thses other posters who try and suggest Floyd shouldn't be mentioned in the conversation.

    My dad thought jim Brown was the greatest RB ever. i know Barry Sanders was, and my sons might think Adrian peterson is the best RB ever. that's just the way it goes when talking to different generations.

      More impressive??? Are you out of your mind or something.

      Here...

      Casamayor.
      Freitas
      Kostya
      Margarito
      Cotto
      Mosley
      Cintron
      Williams

      And if you're guessing.

      You're right.

      He didn't fought any of them.

      So yeah.

      He's impressive.

      Against a Baldo
      Or a Judah
      Or a Gatti.

      So stop comparing Fake FLoyd's crappy resume from SRL.

      You're guy just pissed on his pants trying to get away from Margarito.

        these are the plain and basic common sense facts.

          Skillswise Floyd can compete with the ATG's. It isnt Floyds fault the really isnt a great crop of talent likeback in the 80's.

          He has to fight who is put in front of him.

          Marg isnt great, Cotto isnt great, Clottey isnt, great, Cintron isnt great, and Williams hes my boy but he isnt great those are all good fighters.

          I would pick Floyd over ANYONE from history except vs. Roy Jones at 154 and Tommy Hearns at 147.

          I think Floyd can pull out of tough victories against every one else.

            U a funny dude, McGirt was a top 5 pfp and quality win but Floyd beating Oscar when he had every disadvantage isn't, HAhahaha, your comedian!
            WTF are you even talking about?!?!?!?!

            McGirt was a better win because he was rated higher and in the heart of his prime. Floyd had evewry disadvantage? Like what, Reyes gloves? Oh wow! Nobody except hardcore DLH fans thouht he would win. He was past his prime and Floyd was in his. De La Hoya was bigger. It was a very good win, so was Pernell's win over McGiret, but his was better as McGirt was higher rated at the time. That is common sense.


            And then u go on to say that SRL has a much bigger arsenal, lol, what u talkin about that wind up punch? Yes floyd would beat SRL at 147, Leonard doesn't quite have all the capabilites that Floyd has. especially since Floyd came from 130, I can't understand how u don't see that his skills is what is allowing him to fight and beat these much bigger guys. Imagine SRL going up to cruiser weight and being productive, that's equivalent to what Floyd has done. Fact is none of those fighters u name has the boxing skill Floyd has except for SRR. Ali couldn't do what Floyd does or SRL
            Floyd moved up 17 pounds to 147, if SRL moved up to CW he'd have moved up 35 pounds, so no you're dead wrong, and he did win the LHW title by the way.

            I am not even going to respond to the rest with anything but this right here--->

            And most people thought Castillo won, wrong, most people thought Floyd won and that he escaped a close fight.
            Not true, most I have talked to thought it was robbery.

            But i see u got nothing to say about his torn rotator cuff and that when he was 100% it was much different fight. why not was up with that?
            The second fight was more decisive, but it was still relatively close on the scorecards, by no means a domination. Floyd stuck and moved the whole time, making for an extremely boring ass fight.
            Again Duran would have got da bizness just SRL gave it to him the 2nd time .
            I am not going to respond to that with anything more than it deserves, which is this---->

            The only thing u right on


            is that Whitaker won abelt at 154, I forgot about that, I don't think I saw that one.
            I don't think you've seen much other than Floyd's nutsack.

            And yeah i know whitaker was robbed but he still got da draw and that's what is in the record books so how is draw more imprressive and more dominating then Floyd beating Castillo, the champ at 135 at 80% at best. Please tell me your rationale for that
            Floyd dominated Chavez. Who the **** cares if that's what's in the record books? It's what happened in the fights that matters you fool! Floyd beat Chavez MUCH worse than Floyd "beat" Castillo.

            You're the ONLY person in thw world who thinks Floyd's win over a much lesser fighter in Castillo is more impressive.

            To sum it all up, you just don't have a goddamn clue what you're talking about.

                He just got owned in an earlier thread.

                Cortdag guy needs to study more boxing.

                IN his attempt to hype Fake FLoyd he has committed a lot of errors and probably lies.

                Someone who has REAL BOXING knowledge will easily expose these guys.

                  He forced Lalonde to move down. 167 was the weight I believe...................................

                    And to think Plain and basic common sense is AVAILABLE TO ALL MANKIND I kinda wonder why they refuse to use theirs.

                    It's gotta be in there somewhere in their heads. LOls.

                      That list isnt even reasonable, Zoo retired after the Hatton fight, Casamayor never wanted a piece of Floyd, Frietas was MIA when Floyd talks came up, Floyd offered to fight Mosley twice, Floyd made a smart move and fought the better, recognized welterweight champion rather than the vacant title holder Margarito, would never fight Kermit Cintrion because he is garbage and at no point in time has paul williams ever, ever, ever insinuated that he would want a fight with Mayweather.

                      Sorrrry.
