Will Floyd Go Down As An Altyme Great!!

[muppetman]

WHO HAS HE BEAT THAT WOULD GIVE HIM THAT STAUSS......ALL HE HAS DONE IS JUMP UPED TO DIFFEENT WEIGHT CLASSES WITH OUT FIGHTING THE REAL CHAMPS IN THE DIVISION....HES A PICKUM BUM AND HE KNOWS IT HE HAS NO GUT SO HOW CAN HE RECIVE THE GLORY OF A REAL CHAMP.....FLOYD IS THE SORRIEST CHAMP WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING......I DONT THINK THEIR HAS EVER BEEN A FIGHTER WHO HAS PUBLICLY DUCKED FIGHTERS LIKE HE DOES....IT IS SAFE TO SAY COTTO IS THE REAL CHAMP EVEN IF HE LOSES TO TONY ......CUZ EVERY CHAMP HAS A LOSS ON HIS RECORD CAUSE REAL CHAMPS TAKE RISKS!!

Hall of Fame career.. Yes. Greatest of all time or top 20 of all time.. No.

[Ras44]

He's definitely a HOF boxer, even if he retires now and never faces Cotto.

That All time P4P GOAT talk is just smart marketing to get us talking about him. And it has worked wonderfully.

All Tyme Great .......never...unless He Grows Some Cujones!!

I think in the long run Floyd will be seen as a top twenty ATG, maybe higher. Like Roy Jones, his skills are such that it is possible to predict with a fair degree of confidence that he would have been able to compete pretty well with the greats of any era.

It is hard to imagine anyone saying that now, but I think that the passage of time tends to add lustre to any top level career, as fans look back fondly on the greatest fighters of their youth. As time goes on all this "he should have fought him, no him, no him" will be forgotten, and we will be left tending to evaluate Floyd on his skills, which from where I stand, are top of the line.

Also, he's not finished yet, and may go on to fight Cotto, and who knows who else at welter and higher weights. He might not do too, but I for one think that there is still more to come from Floyd. We'll have to wait and see.

Floyd is FAR from being an all time great.

All time greats didn't duck potential opponents the way Floyd does, they fought the best.

[Kobe Bryant]

He's a certified HOF and probably the best of this era.

I could name 20 boxers in history who are better then Mayweather..

Mayweather is on the verge of top 20 though, there or thereabouts.
