Has Floyd done enough to be considered up there alongside Ali and SRR?

      How because it was at a catchweight

      FYI, Canelo's so was also, but it was against Matthew Hatton

        Floyd would never jump to 160 to fight Sergio, and he shouldn't have to. 154 is a great weight for that fight.

        And I agree with it being different, but a win over Canelo right now means nothing more than winning a belt against a guy who never beat anyone that good to get it. Canelo's best wins are still Rhodes and a past prime Cintron. Canelo needs to fight Kirkland if he beats Molina, but he won't.

        Floyd beating Canelo would be better than when Manny beat Margarito, but not by a whole hell of a lot really, unless Canelo beats someone like Kikrland.

        Floyd should finish his career with Cotto at 154, Pac at 147, Sergio at 154, and than either Canelo/Kirkland at 154. He'd be Top 20 no doubt, probably even Top 15 if he pulled that off.

            And your point is?, dont change topics.

            Ok so you trash others for fighting for vacant belts at catchweights, but its ok for canelo cuz he defended his, against washed up WWs nonetheless?

              Floyd is one of the best in this generation but should never be held in the same breath as SRR or Ali.

                I think anyone would be thinking this. It should be is Floyd as good as current day fighters like Morales and ODLH and or more recent history like JCC or even witaker.

                If you ask is Pac as good as Ali and SRR then will would know you are being serious.

                  Absolutely not.

                  And he never will.

                  Atleast not by anyone worth a damn.

                    No one in this day and age can compare to the top ten.

                    Lets alone the GOAT.
                    I second this, I don't think anyone new around now or in the future will be considered a ATG.
