    ...Yeah, and he has gotten away with them being brittle by not getting into a war with hurt hands late in a fight. Let me see him go through a dogfight with someone who punches extremely hard and will chase him all night long and then he will get my respect to the fullest. I still think his chin is suspect and Zoo would put him to sleep fast and hard once he caught up with him. I don't agree with him beating a high level of competition at all to this point. Lets see him face some of the guys mentioned above and then we shall see for sure.

      why all of a sudden Floyd gotta be glass jawed?? I seen him rocked ONCE. Against "ChopChop" at his 1st fight at 140. We seen what DeMarcus did to Cotto. Everybody gets rocked( tho i can't recall seing X shaky).
      Whatever u may think of the man's character u have to admit his skillz are phenominal. Top notch quickness, defensive wizardry, and puts punches together like the best of em. Power....forget that, he more than makes up for it with the speed generated and he's put some pretty tough guys on the canvas. Remember when the brawl with Emmanuel Burton/Augustus??---who later gave it to Ward---who gave it to Gatti.
      If Floyd can conquer thru 154, he definately gets my vote for top 5 p4p to add on to what Kimmy said.

        Floyd will beat Gatti, if he gets a chance he will beat Tzyu, he would destroy the overrated **** known as Judah, He would stop Cotto. By the time its all said and done Floyd will be a legend in boxing.

          Floyd definitely has the potential to be the greatest ever. If he sweeps the 140lb division, he gets my vote.

            Sugar Ray Robinson had knock out power with both hands, moving forward or backward, side to side, and three divisions above his best weight.

            PBF doesn't have the power. I respect his boxing ability and athletisism. I might even put him all time above Roy Jones but he would have to do a lot more to be the best ever.

                In order for Floyd to be considered the best he'd more than likely have to beat Gatti, Tsyzu, Judah, DLH or Mosley and then grab a title from whomever at 154...

                I don't think it's likely, however, I do feel Floyd can retire as a Top 25 fighter of all time, and that's big time.

                    Yeah, i dont know about best ever, but its possible. If he beats Gatti, which he will soon then Zoo he is among the best already. Then take out the young blood Cotto and move up and he could be.
