Prime Floyd was the most entertaining/skilled boxer of all time

[Steak]

The bold is an an egregious statement.



That's no slight on Gatti, who is an icon of prizefighting.

nice word choice. I like to see that kind of variety.

Yea, he was so entertaining,

it took a fight with an old DLH, in 2007, 11 years after his pro debut,


to get him known in america.

Cause most people dont like floyds style. Most people want to see 2 guys stand in the middle of the ring and beat each other up. Thats not boxing imo

i completely agree....
he is the most skillfull and entertaining fighter alltime.
not exciting though.

You could put together John Ruiz Highlights and he looks like Gatti

[Bushbaby]

Sure he was,that's why the only fighters he's faced that was close to being favored to beat him was Corrales.In short,he's only faced guys he was favored to beat.What that tells me is that Floyd always fought the guys him & most experts thought he would win anyway,that's not impressive.Beating someone that ur supposed to beat isn't anything to brag about.

when it comes to most entertaining there is no compeition

(In his prime) It's iron mike all day.... even the most casual of boxing fans were stunned by watching him in the ring

We all knw people who really arent that into boxing... but u kno u can show them some highlights of mike and thay'll be instantly entertained

Im a big Mayweather fan, but at thinking a 21 year old Mayweather is Prime. I would say Floyd reached his prime from 2005-2009

[Golden]

His defense skills were top notch. But his style isn't my cup of tea.

Dunno bout the most exciting or even the most skilled. But I enjoyed a lot of his earlier fights very much
