    Tommy Hearns would have beaten down and outboxed Floyd seven days a week and twice on sunday

    NOBODY EVER OUTBOXED HEARNS. NEVER

    Surgar ray got his ass handed to him when he tried to box but turned it into a war a hearns ko'd mostly due to exhaustion. if it was a 12 round fight hearns beat sugar ray easily.
    Hagler was a monster, Iran Barkely the same way. Big dudes that hit hard.

    HEARNS WAS NEVER OUTBOXED HIS WHOLE CAREER.

    An old hearns outboxed prime virgil hill twice.

      I'm not arguing that hs not popular. He is the name in boxing right now. Very marketable. But he is in no way a top ATG. That's all hate aside. He IMO could
      have been. Lol. Of course promoters and managers are saying he's the best ever. They have to to sell him. The more they fail to deliver. The more his rep is tarnished. An ATG would have made Guerrero a short night.

        Floyd would have his hands full against-

        Pernell Whitaker, whos probably faster and stronger.

        Prime Mosley, who was just as fast and again, stronger.

        Prime Oscar De La Hoya, who was pretty fast and lets be honest....its not like when he fought Floyd at the end of his career that the fight was exactly one sided.

        Vernon Forrest would have put Floyd to sleep

        etc etc

        I'm always amazed at how boxing is soo easily to forget the better fighters of the past in favor of what's in front of them at the moment. It never fails.

              Not true at all. Fighting outside of his weight division has never been a requirement for Pacquiao to be considered great. Last time I checked Pacquiao has been fighting as a welter weight for years and I don't hear anyone calling for him to fight Canelo, Martinez or Ward. He even turned down a fight against Yuri Foreman because he was "too tall". So just admit that their are two different standards for Pacquiao and Mayweather.
              I think you have the blinkers on here.
              The thing is you see, Pac fights regularly. He is fighting every six month guys of the quality of JMM, Bradley back to back and fighting dangerous guys who outweigh him badly like Margarito in the mix as well who are dangerous.
              Pac fights regularly so dont miss anyone who can pose him a threat.

              Floyd on the other hand dont fight regularly and conveniantly can comeback when there is no outstanding fighter to fight, can wait till when his mandatory is someone like Guerrero whose best opponent is berto? So of course someone is going above the call of duty compared to someone else and that someone else is FLoyd.
              People will of course request Floyd to fight heavier guys as he has been slacking enough and not cleaning up like Pac has. If there is different standards for Pac and FLoyd it is the fact Floyd can get away with doing less. Unless he fights those bigger and better guys we are requesting he fights.

                If Mayweather was British Frank would be crapping on him. I wouldn't take anything he says to heart.

                  Floyd did it.

                  Arum and top rank would have gladly done that just to say that Top Rank made manny-floyd...

                  Floyd could have beaten him and gone seperate ways. Arum would have Still made money, and manny would still be a draw. HEll manny got ko'd by marquez and is still a draw

                      How am i a fan boy. Im a fan of the sport.

                      Whats so ****** about my post.

                      You think Arum wouldnt have agreed to all of floyds demands if he ditched golden boy.
                      Do you honestly think if floyd came to bob and requested those things bobfather would have said no.
                      If you think that than you are completely ignorant to the business side of boxing. Bob has no beef with floyd, he just dont like golden boy.
                      plain and simple.
                      Floyd dont like bobfather cause he had prime margarito, cotto, and manny for floyd to fight but floyd likes to retire and then comeback, then retire, and then comeback

                      Floyd is his own boss. He says it all the time.

                      And if im a fanboy who am i for.
                      YOu probably couldnt comprehend the points i was making and thinking that i was picking on your man floyd
