One has to give Floyd his props on his money-making ability, the guy had an excellent team behind him. But was Floyd a warrior? No, of course not, he was just a bidnizz man. Great boxer but was too defensive (safety-first), rarely challenged himself and chose the path of least resistance.

Originally posted by Outwest Exp 355 View PostThere’s not a lot of ATG’s around otherwise they wouldn’t be ATG’s. Pac turned down a fight in 09, 10. He never really had an opportunity other than that. Canelo but some would say he wasn’t in his prime at 23. However Floyd was already a complete fighter at 23. That just shows the difference between a great fighter like Canelo and an ATG like Floyd.

Props to OP though. Starting something and just chilling in the sidelines

Hatton and Corrales might be the closest he got to beating a ¨great¨ still in his prime
In his defense, prime ATGs don't grow on trees
He had the chance of fighting one in 2009-2010 Pacquiao
but he prefered to avoid the pinoy like a plague for 6 years, until the ¨prime¨ part was a thing of the past
that pinoy's promoter went as far as saying he needed an entire stadium to be built before he could make the fight

you guys realize if they had forums in the 1980s there would be a ton of guys on here after SRL's win over Duran saying that duran's prime weight was 135 and SRL dragged him up and all this other chit.
There would also be old heads on here crying that SRL isnt worthy of the sugar name and ray robinson was so much better.
