Is Floyd The Best Fighter In The Last 30 Years?

[DiegoFuego]

Last 30 years, definitely. He's better than Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Whitaker, so who does that leave? Lewis? He's better than Lewis. Holyfield? He's better than Holyfield.

And if Pacquiao hadn't refused testing and brought su****ion on himself, I'd say Pacquiao is directly behind Floyd. But now I won't say that because I truly don't think Manny's accomplishments are legit.

He is not even in the same conversation with Leonard. Can you point out who he has beaten that was prime and on the same level as a Duran, hearns, hagler? Please help me understand.

Roy Jones' resume is not on Floyd's level. If you think so, you're a damn fool. Roy may have been the better talent, but he didn't prove it by wiping out nearly as many divisions as he should have. He stays at 168, he's the best 168lber ever. He finishes off Calzaghe, DM, Benn, Collins...**** man, he would have been the best of the last 30 years. Too much unfinished business for a guy who started at 160 and barely stayed there a minute.

No he is not

[Pacquiao'd]

He is the most skilled that is for sure. He could arguably be the most skileld fighter in the history of boxing. His boxing IQ is above average, and far superior then that of his counterparts.

I think there have been a lot of great fighters in the last 30 years. I think Pacquiao is one of the best in the last 30 years. Some could argue both fighters are the best in the last 30 years. That is clearly subjective, and debatable.

haha, i think pacs resume is goingto be ripped apart pretty good when people start looking back after hes retired

Fuego your own here slamming roy for his resume,,,but you have not answered mine. You saying floyd is better than leonard because of what. he is undefeated. How ****** is that. Rocky marciano was undefeated. Hell Hatton was undefeated at 40-0 until he faced a better fighter. Being undefreated only meants you beat everyone WHO YOU FACED, Has not bearing on the quality.

Generally the best shows the ability to beat all comers, all styles, other peak greats. Since your saying he his greater Leonard, then please help me understand who has he beaten that is on par with Duran, Hearns, Hagler. Who. All of these fighrters when Ray beat them was 32 years or less, on huge winning streaks, and outside of Hagler went on to win titles at higher classes.

Tell me how Mayweather stacks up...And I have not even mentioned Benetiz, kalule, Lalonde.. etc.

[ELPacman]

He based it on fantasy fights. Floyd wins vs. any other fighter in the last 30 years. Mayweather is King of fantasy fights. Accomplishments...................that's another story.

LoL, that's actually very true. While Fraud wins all the fantasy fights. Pacquiao wins all the real fights, lol.

Best fighter my azz

[$Bullsfam$]

Definitley. I really think all Leonard has him is that he got to fight during the big four. Floyd has the talent of an ATG an itd be ignorant to think otherwise. I think hes the best defensive fighter ever. Just needs to keep fighting the tough challenges like Mosley and he'll get up there. Pac fight should be epic and maybe a paul or sergio fight too.
