      6 division champ, no losses, 1 close fight with one arm = greatest of all time

        Lets not get carried away...

        Taylor is a counterpuncher with a solid jab. He is bigger and stronger...Spinks started is a natural welterweight, Floyd started at 130 lbs

        Another thing you are forgetting is Spinks is 5'10

          160 is too high. Arthurt Abraham would beat him, IMO.

              i could pick ONE name on SRR robinsons record, or on ALi's record, and that fighter would be better then any fighter Floyd has ever faced.

              I could actually probably get 9 or 10 guys that are better then any opponent Floyd has ever faced so... Not even close to THE greatest.

              Top 3? no. Top 5? no. top 10? maybe

                If Floyd beat Cotto then moved up to MW and beat the champ there and retired undefeated at 41-0, you could make a very strong case that he is the goat.

                And he'd still only be what? 32 years old? If he did that, that would be ****ing incredible.

                      Taylor is 6'1

                      Come on man lets be fair, Floyd has the ability to beat him but only a fighter with a good crisp jab has a good chance of beating floyd (who started at 130 pounds as a super featherweight and won the medal at 125 pounds.)


                      Taylor is a natural middleweight, I think he will be too big for floyd, im not see'ing he can KO/TKO floyd, no way but I see taylor too big. We talk of Paul Williams giving Mayweather trouble, now this guy is an Actual middleweight, who HURT KELLY PAVLIK and is fighting Pavlik at Supermiddleweight next
