I see what you're trying to say, but world champion doesn't alway equate the best.

It's amazing that we still hear all this "Floyd doesn't fight the best" crap. When he's proven himself over and over again. I don't know of any other fighter going right now who has beaten 15 or more world champions.

Haters wont see it this way

The later half of Floyd's career is embarrassing. Just look at the competition after Jose Luis Castillo. Even more so....his last 3 fights.

**Boxing Scene** · 11-06-2010, 09:14 AM

A lot of the names on that list are WELL past their primes.

The Ndou and Corley fights were great, you have to give him a pass for those two

when he fought chico, chico was a monster and everyone thought chico was litterally going to kill him and gave him little or no chance, floyd then gave us IMO the best display of boxing of the last 20 years

It's a great measure though, closest you are going to have in determining who is the best in an objective manner. I don't like Floyd's personna but he is a great fighter, no doubt about it.

Hey If floyd had no haters it would probably because he was unsuccessful but success breeds envy.
