    He'd need to beat Cotto, Mosley Cintron, Williams and then retire undefeated. For me to consider him better or even close to Robinson, to be honest.

    If he won the true middleweight championship, it'd help.

    Beating Forrest would be nice too, maybe Wright.

      You may as well add Calzaghe,Hopkins, Haye and Wladimir to that list.

        Hey.. you have to realize that he's being compared to guys like Robinson.. Pep.. Hagler.. Ali..

        it's sounds like a lot, because it should be.

        It's not just 3 big fights and you're up there. You have to be GREAT. Not look great a couple of times.

        People act as if being considered ATG is just something anyone at the top level can become. It's not.

            I don't think any modern day fighter could ever be considered the best ever. Unless they can mange to fight over 200 times in their career, its not going to happen

              Hard to say. How does he beat them? Does he show INCREDIBLE weaknesses. Does he deserve the wins. Are those fighters FADED by the time he gets to them?

              Really hard to stay. But it'd put him top 20 for me, and did most of it in impressive fashion. IF he did that.

                  LOL. But think about it.

                  To be considered GOAT.. that means p4p you beat ANY OTHER FIGHTER TO EVER LACE UP A PAIR OF GLOVES. That's something you don't just get with a couple of fights, or even a handful of fights. You gotta a lot of work ahead of you.

                    PBF needs more Elite fighters on his record for a start to be even considered in the Leonard ,Hagler league IMO Dela Hoya ,possibly Hatton are the only Elite fighters on his record IMO

                    Corrales ,Castillo had a great fight but for me they are not Elite fighters they wont go down as Elite Lightweights like Mosley & J C Chavez
