Can Floyd be considered one of the greatest welweights of all time?

[Pullcounter]

I have always admired his skills in the ring. I have no doubt of his place in history. But I have to question the level of his opposition at this weight class. His opponents at welterweight include Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomir, Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Now, compared to other hall of fame fighters, does he need a fight with a true established welterweight to be considered one of the best of all time at the division, or is he already one of the best even with the opponents he's faced at 147. Your thoughts gentlemen.

floyd hasn't done **** at WW.

he retired to duck WWs.

he came back to fight a LW / former FW.

no ****in way floyd is the greatest WW of all time.

Agreed. But to clear things, I never said he was the greatest WW of all time. I just wanted the hardcore Floyd fans to realize that he does need to fight either Mosley or Cotto, true established WW's. Because if his legacy is going to end at WW, he needs to measure himself against the best available opponents at his division.

Really, Floyd's a welterweight? Damn, then how come hes fighting lightweight?

No. Just take a long look at the opponents and you can make a decision. If you say 130 or 135, I would happily agree.

Top 100 Yes

Top 50 Maybe

Top 10 *** no not until he fights an actual welterweight that is at his skill level.

[alexpz]

ofcourse not.. He still have to fight the top Welweights to earn the title of one of the greatest welterweight of all time.

This is way too premature, Floyd has his best fights ahead of him and could easily achieve great things at WW. Let's wait and see.
