How will Floyd be remembered in boxing?

[pesticid]

This thread isn't about comparing Roy and Floyd but if you want to go that way Roy's resume is better. DLH's resume is better, Cotto's resume is better, Zab has faced better fighters and in their prime than Floyd.

Now, how can you have the most skill, the most speed, the most intelligence, the best overall boxing ability in boxing and not face the caliber of fighters that DLH, Mosley, Cotto, Judah, Winky have faced?

It's beyond me... to have all that ability and to fight bs fights when you have guys with much lesser skills fighting crazy opposition and even defeating it.

Well at least DLH fought the best fighters and most of them in their prime.
Do you think that Mayweather would ever take such a risk to fight Bernard at 160. He didn;t even want to face Winky.

"He didn;t even want to face Winky"

False Statement:

Winky was asking for too much money Thats why the fight didnt happen!!

Are you saying that Mosley, Cotto, Judah, and Winky Resumes are All better than Floyd...

So who are the fighters he should fight?

Simple question to the thread creator.

Is Cotto a great fighter right now? Not very good or deserving of a shot but great.

Thanks in advance.

Listen,

Floyd fought the top guys at 130 and 135, respect given. Floyd did not fight the top guys at 140, respect taken. He did not fight the top guys at 147 respect taken. He did not fight the top guys at 154 respect taken.
If he fought Hatton or Cotto at 140, he would've settled the argument for that division. Yes he fought Hatton but at 147. If he fought Tony or Cotto at 147 he would've established himself as the division's top dog instead he fought relevant but undeserving fighters at the time in Zab and Baldomir and Sharmba for Christ Sake.

Who should he fight, Cotto? Is he considered great

Margarito? Is he considered a great fighter?

Vargas fought the best, does that mean he is one of the best?

News Alert to Pesticid!!!!!!!!

Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton both turned down any negotiations for a fight with Floyd at 140.

Not his fault champ.

Margarito? Is he considered a great fighter?

Vargas fought the best, does that mean he is one of the best?

He hsould fight Cotto because Cotto is considered the best in the division just like fought Castillo at 135 twice on top of it.
