If Floyd fought the best out there then definitely.. BUT FLOYD PICKS AND CHOOSES.. Thats the bottom line..

Floyd is a skilled boxer but lacks, heart, doesnt take risk, doesnt take big challenges... That about sums up the reason why people question him.

Lol, and Pacquiao doesn't?

all the greats lose once & awhile...it's a tough sport & sometimes you just don't see a punch coming...glen Johnson has 13 losses & I doubt there is a poster here who thinks he sucks & if there was he/she doesn't watch boxing that much.

pacman has run off a nice set of wins & floyd has as well butpacman has been destroying guys while pbf wins with skill & technique...I won't say a nrgative thing about these but pbf is the one dragging his feet...it's a shame but for as long as I've been watching boxing it's no surprise....Tyson did this to Holyfield & lewis for years...avoided both until he needed the $$$.sad that he never fought them in peak form.

Having 0 losses means you can be in the discussion for the GOAT. If you lose, how can you be the greatest. Did Joe Calzaghe lose? No. If you ever do get a loss you need to be able to defend how you lost. Like Vitali, sure he has 2 L's, but he was leading on the scorecard and it was injury, not the skill of another fighter that caused him to get the L. how can Pacquiao be the greatest when hes been KTFO. Makes no sense.

How can these people be called the greatest if they have a lose to right.. Mayweather must be the best

Muhammad Ali had 5 losses.

Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 losses.

Henry Armstrong had 21 losses.

Shoot, Michael Jordan himself lost hundreds of times and was cut from his high school basketball team.

The response to choose from are somewhat ailly. As to this post, Jordan is considered the best, in part becasue he never lost in the finals. So yes, not losing is a part of being a great fighter.

That is why these people shouldn't be called great.

Floyd still has the 0, and he doesn't want to lose the 0.. So he doesn't want to entertain a threat like pac coz his 0 might go. Hence the deadline is july 16 to man-up.. clock is ticking.. What happened to Floyd??

When you have 0 losses and you've beaten the likes of Castillo, De La Hoya, undefeated Ricky Hatton, Diego Corrales, and other great fighters, yes, a 0 with that resume is a huge testament to greatness.
