Has Floyd Already Reached Greatness?

yeah he is top 15 for me. its hard to make these list because ive never seen all of alis fights or all of sugar reys fights, or willi pep. the fact is that most the things i hear about the are from word of mouth. Im sure lots of people have heard stories that make things out to be bigger then they really were. so from what i know yeah he is an all time great

Definitely one of the more compelling fighters to watch when he was lighter weight, but not so much now. WHEN he does something it has such flare and brilliance it looks like something an all time great would do, but he has to be either more active (fight more frequently) or more dazzling through an entire fight. Seeing 9 and a half rounds of ho hummage vs Hatton for a couple of smashing left hands wasn't something to solidify an ATG breaking into top 15 status in my estimation.

Top 50? Probably.
Top 30? That's a stretch.
Top 20? No way.

That's all well and good. But you didn't mention shane before. You said Williams, and that's just silly.

Can you imagine someone saying "i didn't think Mayweather was better than Hearns before, but goddamn that dude beat Williams"

Homie, theres people on here who feel that defeating Hatton certifies him top 5 status. **** is ridiculous

LOL...I'm with you on that. Too many guys ate up the media hype for undefeated

And yet you think that Floyd, who was #47 on ESPN's 50 GOAT list:

jumps 27+ spots beating a 34 year old, inactive DLH and a Hatton, with one poor showing at WW? C'mon man.

Do you really take a BSPN ranking serious? If we believed BSPN then boxing is a dead sport with no future.
