      Jones is still an all-time great, but the way he was beaten, in back-to-back knockout fashion, has certainly hurt his standing among the all-time greats.

        So ur saying SRL is a better all time great then Roberto Duran? U must be insane. Have you ever looked at Durans career side by side to Leonard's? U can't base ur assesment off of a few fights, when Duran beat Leonard in there first fight.

              Yall can't blame a fighter for the competition of his era. That goes for any fighter not just PBF. PBF doesn't have the same type of fighters around him that those guys had and its not PBF's fault.
              AGAIN with this ****ing reply guy? let me put it in terms you'll understand.

              If there are no "All Time Fighters" to fight in your era, then you fight the best available and CLEARLY, Floyd hasnt done that yet. It doesnt matter if OTHERS have been ducking him, he should atleast make an effort to fight them or call them out. If you want to be considered the GOAT, then money is secondary, quality of opposition is PRIORITY but we have seen the motive of Money Mayweather, "If it don't make dollas, it don't make sense". But then again, as he said in the second installment of 24/7 with Hatton, "Why do I still fight? Well, at first, I thought it was for the money, but I already have enough of that, Its for the LOVE of the sport." Well WHICH ONE ****ING IS IT!

              I thank god (if he exist) that I've been able to witness someone at the top of their game in action. Floyd at times is kind of like Neo in the Matrix or Tom Cruise in this sequence here below from The Last Samurai..



              For his ability, I have him #1 on my p4p list, this HAS been against limited opposition whether you want to admit it to yourself or not. Floyd still has alot to prove.

                  dont discredit him based on his opponents; PBF is fighting what today have to offer. Its not his fault he wasnt born in the same time with SRL, Hearns, Hagler etc.
