    The only ATG on his resume would be de la Hoya,and Oscar is arguably not an ATG.

        And that would still be Oscar DLH and nobody else.

        Although Castillo and Diego gave us amazing fights......they will never be HOF.

          floyd is viewed as great because of his skill set and the fact that he did win titles in 5 weight classes-not exactly easy all while going undefeated..no he didnt fight any atg..but he is an atg

            as long as a fighter stays undefeated, his fans will make the case for his greatness. Even if his opponents are stiffs and weak, his fans will go to their grave believing Floyd was the greatest of all time.

            I challenge anyone to make the case that Floyds opponents were the toughest and therefore he is worthy of being heralded as the greatest of all time.No way Floyd the toughest guys out there, no way his comp compares to Oscar's. Oscar would be undefeated if he fought Floyd's comp, ..........real deal!

                      People are fickle, do you know what the term all time great means? Its not a term you just throw around, there arnt many. Therefore you will be lucky to have an all time great just happening to be floating around in your weight class during your career, there were no all time great lightweights at 135 when Floyd was there. What all time greats have there been while Floyd has even been fighting.
