    Is there really any fighter in boxing history that is unquestionably

    better than Floyd anymore?

    I can't think of a fighter that would, without a doubt beat Floyd anymore.

    The guys upper body movement, spacing, and counter punching leaves me to believe that every fighter in the history of boxing fights his fight, and he ends up with a SD at worst with every fighter in his weight category.

    The only guy I think could potentially beat Floyd is, Tommy Hearns.

    I just witnessed 36 year old man, look better than I've ever seen him, going up against a guy that outweighed him by 15 lbs. and way younger, and hungry. Also, Canelo is no slouch by any stretch of the imagination.

        Robinson, Hearns, Duran, Leonard, Ali, Lopez, Chavez, Jones, Hopkins, and Holyfield immediately spring to mind.

        Pacquiao has also accomplished more against better opposition.

          Which Lopez are we talking about here? Ricardo? Because he certainly isn't greater than Mayweather.

          To answer the TS;

          I think there's many who are greater than Mayweather, many accomplished more and have better resumes.

          I don't think there are too many "better" than Mayweather, if that makes sense.

              You lost me at Pacquiao. Hopkins and Holyfield lose too. But hey, We are talking about different era's in time, nobody will ever know for sure.

                The fact that a win over Canelo Alvarez is being lauded so highly says more about the weakness of this era over previous ones.

                  Starting to reach that same conclusion as well. It's more annoying that people want him to move up to 160 though, I think that's too much. Canelo's punches were moving Floyd, that right there says it all.

                    The only person I feel confident in betting on against Floyd is SRR.
