Canelo surpasses Floyd, is now second, just behind Pacquiao on the list of greatest fighters of the last 25 years

[djtmal]

Some of the banter here brings up an interesting question in my mind: who is generally considered Floyd’s best scalp? I’ve always thought it was De La Hoya or maybe Corrales, but some have said Pacquiao. Pacquiao when they fought, by that point was only about 75% of his peak though. Some say Canelo, but that was a weak-ass skinny version of Canelo. So… who was Floyd’s best win? I ask as a boxing fan who generally rated Floyd pretty highly — better in skills than Pacquiao or current Canelo, but below the level of peak Hopkins, RJJ, or SRL. I rate Mayweather in the same skill class as peak Toney or Hearns, personally, although I must say he may have been the smartest boxer of all time from a business and matchmaking standpoint.

Hatton was his best win. Hatton was prime undefeated. A little shaky at welterweight but you can't say Hatton was green or shopworn.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this. You’re not one of the dumbasses. Don’t let a hot debate make you do things the imbecile **** riders do.

Roy and Bhop were well past it when Calzaghe fought them.

Canelo was fresh, 13 years younger and riding a winning streak over quality opposition.

Roy was 39. Bhop was 43. Calzaghe was 36.

I don’t think it is an even comparison.

Lol. It's a similar scenario man.

How about Marvin Hagler and Willie Monroe? Are they even since they went 1-1?

Not surprising that a moron like you would compare a faded twice knocked out Roy Jones and 40 plus Hopkins to an undefeated 23 year old Canelo.

Again, it's sad that you try to diminish (rightfully in many ways) RJJ and Bhop, yet you hype up Canelo beyond what he was man. Just pathetic really.

How about Hagler and Bobby Watts? Was Watts better than him?

Ringwise Manny was far more shopworn than Floyd

You might be right on that.

Floyd was a well preserved 35-36 yr old but his fanboys make it seem like he was in a wheelchair when he beat manny just to add to the win. Lol

He is 2 years older than manny

I know

Just sayin floyd Was well preserved that’s a fact his whole style was defense and take little punishment and he was the best at that style. So of course he’ll be a well preserved fighters later in his career.

lol, well preserved in taking head punches, his body was worked harder than 99% of fighters.

The angles you boys run with is yellow brick road stuff.

The absolute best version is what it takes to maybe beat the WORST version of May.

May is old enough to be Nelo's father.

Pac fans have no business in this thread.
