Can Floyd Be The Best Fighter Ever

[braveheart31]

Floyd's a great fighter but to be called the best fighter ever!! Come on!! What legendary fighters has he fought and beaten when they were at the top of there game, none!!! Floyds the best lightweight and Jr. Welterweight of this era but that's it!!! Fighting a fighter like Roberto Duran when both were in there prime as lightweights, poor Floyd would have to be visited at the nursing home until he recovered from the coma Duran would have put him in!!! People have to stop believing the media hype which builds up fights like when Floyd fought the should be retired Dela Hoya! [and really is]!! Don't confuse media ballony with actual skill. Like Hatton really had a chance against Mayweather, why isn't Floyd fighting the real welterweights if he's so good. money??? ok thats reasonable but don't run around saying your the best current welterweight when you won't fight any. Same thing Taylor did as Middleweight champion then he fought a real live middleweight and welll,...you saw what happened.

WHO THE **** IS COTTO WHO HAS HE BEATEN AN OLD MOSELY A PUNCH DRUNK ZAB JUDAH MAYWEATHER HAS BEEN CHAMP FOR OVER TEN YEARS HES BEAT THE BEST SINCE HES BEEN A PRO HES UNDEFEATED WHAT ELSE DOSE HE HAVE TO DO. DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT PAUL WILLIAMS WHO HAS HE BEATEN HE NEEDS TO MOVE UP IN WEIGHT WITH HIS WEAK PUNCHIN ASS. I WANT TO SEE COTTO FIGHT CLOTTEY. COTTO WONT EVEN CALL OUT FLOYDS NAME CAUSE LIKE FLOYD SAID COTTO KNOWS HE CANT BEAT HIMI. BOB ARUM IS THE ONE DOING ALL THE TALKING . BOB ARUM IS A BITTER OLD MAN HES GOING TO BE LIKE THAT CAUSE FLOYD BROKE AWAY FROM HIM AND SARTED HIS OWN COMPANY

Now that I think about you can't really be considered the best ever by anyone. The era's are just to different. The times change, the techniques change and the athletes have gotten better over time with more to their disposal. I think being the best of your era should hold alot of merit as noone can discredit what you did during YOUR TIME.

NAME ONE LEGENDARY FIGHTER ALL OF THEM ARE NOT FIGHTING YOU BECOME LEGENDARY ONCE YOU ARE FINISH FIGHTING. THE CLOSES THING WE HAD TO A LEGENDARY FIGHTER IS DELAHOYA OR B-HOP NO ONE ELSE. AND FLOYD BEAT OSCAR . B-HOP OSCAR AND MOSLEY SAID AFTER THE MAYWEATHER HATTON FIGHT THAT FLOYD IS THE BEST OF THEIR GENERATION. SUGAR RAY EVEN SAID IT AFTER THE FIGHT.

Cotto didnt say it. Cotto said that Floyd is always making excuses..

PLUS SSM says he wants to fight Floyd and GBP is just kissin Floyds ass so he will take that fight and not fight Cotto..its all about GBP..

yeah but most people base that on the assumption if they did fight PBF would win anyway cause he is clearly the most skilled fighter /talented fighter out there ,does 'nt make anmy difference styles make fights & when your fighting other Elite fighters there is a small gap seperating winning from losing

as ive said before no one expected Mosley to lose to Forrest ,Tyson to Douglas ,RJJ to Tarver ,Ali to Frazier ,Curry to Honeyghan ,Foreman to Ali ,to be the best u have to fight the best or at least show a consious effort to prove yoour superiority at every available opurtunity againt the best

MAN YOU SMOKIN CRACK. I DONT SEE ANYTHING COTTO COULD DO TO DEAL WITH MAYWEATHER YOU MUST BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID HATTON WOULD BEAT FLOYD. THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BOXING. COTTO COULDNT STOP AN OLD MOSLEY. HE RAN FROM MOSLEY COTTO LEAVES HIMSELF OPEN AND HAS A SUSPECT CHIN. ENOUGH SAID MAYWEATHER IS THE MOST SKILLED BOXER PUNCHER IN THE WORLD THE BEST DEFENSIVE FIGHTER IN THE WORLD OPEN YOUR EYES WHO HAS COTTO BEATEN LIKE I SAID AN OLD MOSLEY THAT HE COULDNT STOP AND SO HE RAN FROM HIM A PUNCH DRUNK JUDAH THAT CCOULDNT TAKE A BODY SHOT FROM MY GRANDMOTHER

I was never big on naming one guy the best ever. You can always find an argument for one fighter over another. I prefer to name the top five in no order and leave it at that. I do think Floyd could possibly be included in the top five all time if he beats Cotto, Williams and got a share of the MW title.
