what do you lot think ?

MY ****S PAYED FOR IS YOURS ?

IMO "The Greatest" cant be defined in terms of EVERY Boxer that ever lived...

but he will go down as the greatest in his era

NEVER!

Definitely could be greatest in his era, not sure about all time.

Not likely.

Yes but only if he fights a few more fights against fighters naturally 30 lbs lighter than him and then ignores the catchweight.

yes ...the greatest cherrypicker all time!

i think the biggest threat to floyd would be clottey and paul williams, but i think pac and cotto would have a chance of beating him as well. mosleys gettin old and i dont see him beating floyd. the thing is, we just havnt seen him tested by the best.

floyd the greatest? wow thats a stretch. maybe in the top 25.

to become the greatest, he'd have to clean out 147, then beat atleast 2 of the best 154 lbers, then steal the title at 160

First OF all the consensus greatest is Ali, that alone says something.

Can he be the greatest ever ? YES !!!!! if he cleans out the WW div. and maybe a JMW or 2
Will he ever be acknowledged as the greatest? NO, he's not likeable enough, so (especially white) people are reluctant to give him his due. To get all those boxing experts to get off Ali's nuts is something only God can do.

His skills put him up there as one of the greatest ever. If he cleans out the WW's there'd b no denying him.

P.S Floyd is a much better fighter than Ali
