Greatness is determined by the quality of your opponents not the quantity

A ***** fan talking about quality of opposition? Whats next an Amir Khan fan talking about how Hall Of Famers have to have great chins?

40 professional fights is a lot, that's more than most champions today, bad example. Gives one where the champion is active but not great in your opinion to see what you mean.

Compare Leonard's 40 pro fights to fellow ATG like Sugar Ray Robinson and Roberto Duran who both had over 100+ fights. It's not the number of times they fought that made them great, it's who they fought and who they beat.

Bro,are U for real?U do realize U severely own Floyd with this tread right??Was that Ur intention??After all the 2 best fighters on Floyd's resume are in fact an old Oscar & an old Mosley.

Can you show me where I mentioned Floyd? This topic has nothing to do with him. Best believe if I was talking about Floyd I would've mentioned his name. Btw, Corrales, Hernandez, Castillo, etc. are all top level fighters.

What's your point?

Where are the posts that say being more active equals greatness?

Being active in boxing makes a better boxer period, its like practice. The more you do it the more refined your skills would be.

I've seen posts here praising fighters for being "active" no matter who their fighting. Staying" active” means nothing if you're fighting crappy competition as far as legacy is concerned. If a fighter is staying active by beating up on over matched opponents, what does that really prove? Sugar Ray Leonard only had 40 professional fights but he's without a doubt a top 15 ATG due to the quality of his opponents as well as the quality of his victories.

i belieb dat !
but i bet the chavezjr and klitschko fans would disagree.

I'm talking about posters who like to simply give fighters praise for fighting, regardless of who their opponent is.......

My bad big man.I simply think that a fan of Floyd really has no room to criticize Pacman.

I do agree here,completely.If ur gonna fight a 40 year old who hasn't looked good in his last 2 fights,at least have the decency to put that **** on network hbo,not ppv.
