How Many ATGs Has Floyd Beaten???

[aether]

like ive said he didnt face two welters in Cotto and Margarito.

Thats it.

Floyd will be crowned best fighter of the 00's... Stop hating.

The truth is Floyd should have faced Margarito and Cotto... the rest of what your sayin is bull****.

HATER!

that title belongs to the pacman...

Slightly false imo. The version of Vargas that fought DLH is better than the DLH Mayweather fought.

Seeing as how I made NO comparison to the DLH-Mayweather ANYTHING, I fail to see how what I said could be considered false.

In the alphabet mess we have today, spouting stats like "five-time world champ" and "eight-division champ" means little unless the quality of opposition matches those numbers.

I don't think Mayweather's beaten an ATG but his win over Corrales, for example, is mighty impressive. An undefeated, prime version. And to do it in the manner he did (knocking him down five times) was brilliant. Corrales didn't have an ATG career but we know this because he constantly tested himself and though he lost a few, has quite an impressive dossier. He was a legitimate champ in two divisions with names like Castillo, Freitas, Casamayor, and a slew of others on his record, usually fighting them at or extremely close to their peak. No reason not to think he won't be a HOF'er.

Castillo isn't far behind that. But whatever, the real question being asked is if Floyd is an ATG himself. He was heading towards certifying that claim but kind of switched gears and decided to take care of business first. He's sort of left the question in the air by retiring with so many great fights around him. You won't get an argument from me if you feel he is or isn't an ATG but I think we can all agree that he was the best in the business at the time he hung 'em up.

Because it was MY initial comparison before you stepped into the convo.

Really? And how did you step in it?

Whether it was your initial comparison or not it still in no way makes my statement false.

I was saying my statement of Vargas being in his prime was slightly false, not yours.

[Silencers]

None really, he has beaten some really good fighters, some bound for the HOF but no ATGs.

Yea, they fought in 2002, not 2006.

Vargas' prime died at the hands of Felix Trinidad's left hook early in round 12 back in 2000.

What he said

[Live Dog]

Flat out wrong.

If he had his prime knocked out of him, how was he able to KO his next two opponents before facing Oscar?


Now I'm not saying he was in his absolute best prime ever, but he wasn't the Fernando Vargas of 2006.

wow...now we're talking about prime vs best prime ever....

Not after this latest prank he's playing... Floyd is the fighter of the 00's. Hopefully we'll see a Floyd vs Manny bout to settle it for sure.
