How will Floyd be remembered in boxing?

No it bothers me that he wasnt to fight DLH again.

Like I said I have all his fights with the exception of Zab, Baldomir and DLH, I started to dislike him when he fought Sharmba, I still don;t know why I taped it.

Having Mayweather top 20 all-time might be a stretch.

If he's really a top 20 fighter all-time, then all these ATG questions need to stop since it's an amazing feat to be a top 20 all-time.

Floyd is the best boxer today but if he only fought the best fighters of today his legacy would be complete and he could be top 10.

I never said Hatton was overrated, trace those words of mine and bring them to my attention please. I thought it was wrong for them to fight at 147. Having said that I don;t believe Hatton would've been koed in England.
Hatton was a great fighter, just not at 147

That's an excuse that doesn't fly with me.

If he had fought a natural welterweight who is bigger and stronger then him then he would have a case. But Floyd started at 130lb and has beaten fighters bigger and stronger then himself time and time again.

Ricky Hatton walks around at 170lbs. IF anything, not having to lose those extra 7lbs helped him to not be weight drained.

It's all about skill and Ricky Hatton did not possess the skills to beat Floyd.

Floyd will be remembered as being the only boxer was literally unbeatable.

No one in this forum can name any welter that can beat Floyd.

Floyd and Hatton should've fought at 140 earlier, but it made better business sense to wait.

Ricky's had said they were negotiating the fight for a long time, almost 2 years, for Mayweather to get a bigger name and for Hatton to get some American exposure. They wanted both guys to stay undefeated.

Judging by the financial windfall, it looked like a smart business move.

If Floyd continues to fight old men or broken down fighters he'll be just like Rocky Marciano. At least Rocky was putting everybody to sleep. Floyd run circles and Hid behind the shoulder roll when trapped.

Its funny to say Hatton was too little to fight Floyd when Floyd started at 130 and even a few years before that when Floyd was 16 and 17 he was fighting at 106, Hatton walks around at 170 and also beat Collazo at 147, not too little then, too funny.

But technically, isn't Floyd putting people to sleep by doing that?
