    its between mayweather and pac

    I want to say pac .... but I have to say mayweather

    hopkins is up there but the point is he loss in decisions where he didnt get to redeem his losses ( taylor, calz(shaky decision at that) ) where as pac did
    in exciting fashion which is why he will always be remembered for being exciting.

    floyd just never loss ........ period

    whether you like him or not, most could not fathom going in the ring with p4p
    opposition consistently(take notes calzaghe) and not coming out the loser once ........ matter of fact most could not fathom going in there and not getting a draw or even a no contest once in your career.

      When you learn to present a resonable argument without lying and starting a flame war, come back and talk to me. Till then.....BEAT IT.

          and we still hold floyd to a high standard .... even myself at times would get fustrated if floyd didnt fight every up and comer to his division.

          but i have come to learn that while we may be saying oh he needs to fight
          marg , he needs to fight cotto, he needs to fight (fill in blank). we have to consider this man has been fighting hall of famers since he was 20 years old
          I REPEAT 20 YEARS OLD THATS ONLY A MINISCULE THREE YEARS OLDER ME.

          AND HE HASNT LOSS !!!!!!!

            You're joking, right? If not, please explain your reasons.

              Without a doubt, Mayweather has the ability to beat the top guys at 147 and even at 154 but he just doesn't want to do it, if he had fought the best at 147 and beaten the best, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.

                i think so too, flawless thinks mayweather is a mismatch at 147 when he cleary is a welterweight, what a hugger

                  Mayweather is pretty much a welterweight now, he's grown into the division.

                    I agree 100%. But Floyd is all about the money, not his legacy. That to me is a damn shame considering his talent.

                      exactly he is a welterweight, do you think its an issue or mismatch for floyd fighthing guys like margarito - cotto - williams in this division? i dont think so but flawless thinks otherwise
