    PBF, with paper mache for fists, was ending MFers at an impressive clip.

      Not saying SRL or Hearns wouldn't have beaten him (more so SRL). Just saying that shlt would not be easy.
      Also imho, SRL gets too much love for beating
      Hagler (barely and in Haglers last fight. When fighters are usually at their worst).
      Hearns, who lost to Hagler. That Hagler smashes SRL. That's why SRL said ''I will never fight that man (until I'm sure he's done)''
      1-1 with Duran (who also gets too much credit.
      And finally, Super Hyped Benitez. Ran up a win streak against some sorry looking opponents
      Once Benitez reached a certain level, he got exposed.

      ''One win vs Hearns = 100 May wins !!!!''

      Ok, ''One win vs ''Green'' Nelo = 100 #3 ATG wins !!!'' if that's the formula.

      PBF/May schools Duran almost as badly as Hearns did. The Hearns that demolished Duran would get schooled vs PBF. No way do those telegraphed rights land

      If ''that guy'' is universally considered #3 ATG, May must be God Level.

      And yes, FCK FEELINGS
      Lol, feelings were hurt.

        In any event, if ''that guy'' is #3 ATG, May is God Level

            being 2nd to pacquiao is already a big credit to him. and that's acceptable.

                Floyd will never get credit as he's too scared to be underdog which.means he's not trying hard enough, like floyd don't want credit.
                But seriously, he already gets massive credit for his defence, but he's never faced a one punch ko artist, and relied too much on hoping judges don't score punches landed on him even though floyd felt them, and being generous to him with his tip taps

                  If Floyd would have just beat the best fighters in their prime, these type threads wouldn't get any traction
