    Floyd's legacy stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    He's not the best LW, and he's definitely not the best WW, so when people say he's the greatest, defensive wizard, most accurate puncher, etc. he's still not better than the best of all times.

    I don't think any Super Featherweight beats Floyd. He was a beast at that weight. Looked unstoppable...

      Just call it junior LW. It's 130, and I have Alexis Arguello beating Floyd at 130.

        There isn't much shame in not being the best at 135 or 147~ those are the two strongest deepest weight classes of all time~

        Being one the the best 130 pounders of all time, then going up to have a solid welterweight campaign is noteworthy, with a couple pit stops between.

          This thread is for the Floyd stans that think he is literally the G.O.A.T

            You forgot to add "in my opinion", because that's all it comes down to. Personal opinion.

              No. If I wanna call Super Featherweight I'll call it Super ****ing Featherweight.

              It'd be a close fight, but I think Floyd's speed advantage and movement will get him the win. Head to head I don't think anyone beats Floyd at 130.

                It is an opinion based question~ if people want to think that, that is their right. You obviously don't respect that view, so why let it bother you~

                  My point being is that many of his super hardcore fans believe that he is the perfect fighter, when in fact he is not. There are style that are better than Floyd's. The closest thing to a perfect fighter is Sugar Ray Robinson and prime Roy Jones Jr.

                    So you wanna call it Super Featherweight or Super ****ing Featherweight?

                    TS dont know a motherfkin **** about boxing. Floyd is undefeated, he's the GOAT deal with it.
