Pretty ****** logic.
Ruben Carters win over Emile Griffith is one of THE greatest wins in the history of the sport.
Better than absolutely any single win that Mayweather, Pacquaio, Whitaker, Roy Jones, Holyfield holds and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Would anyone say Ruben Carter is greater than any of those fighters? No, of course not. ****** way to look at it.

As far as a complete list of wins and where those guys were at the times, he is Top 5.
Only Whitaker, Holyfield, and Pacquiao slightly are clearly above Floyd the last 25 years. Hopkins and Lewis are debatable, but let's list those wins.
Hopkins beat Mercado, Jackson, Holmes, Trinidad, Daniels, Joppy, Allen, De La Hoya, Eastman, Tarver, Wright, Pavlik, and Pascal.
Lewis beat Ruddock, Tucker, Bruno, Jackson, McCall, Akinwande, Golota, Briggs, Holyfield, Grant, Botha, Rahman, and Vitali. I don't give him credit for Tyson, Mike hadn't done anything of note in like 4 years by 2002.
Foyd has beat Genaro, Manfredy, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.
I may actually give him an edge over Lewis, and it's debatable with Hopkins.
And as far as the others possibly up there....Tyson, Toney, Jones, De La Hoya, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Floyd has a better list of wins than those guys.
Hey 4corners. Sup man. I like your posts
Can I ask you a question?
Can you list Floyd's top 5 wins in your opinion?
Thanks

Originally posted by BigAlexSand View PostLet's make this straight, pacquiao isn't in top 5 either. His resume consists of two early KO loses in his career, a lose to Morales, and these current two loses, on by a huge KO. He never necessarily had a great beginning career but till the later part was he suddenly recognized. Yes, his moving up in weight was good but I'm with Atlas when he says it is nowhere as impressive as middle moving to heavyweight or like Robinson moving from welterweight to heavyweight (though never winning a heavyweight title).
No surprise though. You rated Floyd highly as your current top 1 fighter base on what? Because of his 4 fights in the last 6 years against...
weight cheated lightweight Marquez
grandpa Mosley
sucker punched Ortiz
past prime Cotto
