Does anyone here honestly believe Floyd is the GOAT?

    Greatest Of All Time. NO

    But to deny he is a great fighter is just hating but he is doing himself no favors, by the time he retires he would have done more damage to his own career then any one fighter could have.

          Maybe in your wildest dream ******. He's not even better than Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, and lots of boxing legends.

            Styles make fights and Henry Armstrong would put manny to sleep in a round. Probably Floyd too because he is vulnerable early on in a fight.

              Floyd has a legacy staining habit of waiting until an opponent who poses a threat, to lose, become old, have wars. Etc etc

              Since Diego Corrales what champions did Floyd face in their prime? Hatton? Maybe Castillo? Canelo at a CW?

                If you look at Pacquiao resume he only beat a Prime Barrera, Cotto, and Bradley. He struggled against JMM in 4 fights while Floyd beat him unanimously in their first and only fight.

                  Like you guys said, styles make fights. Manny's awkward angles and speed would be too much for the names you listed. Why do you think Floyd is ducking him? Manny has one-punch KO power.

                  JMM's punch was lucky. Manny beat him 3 times already. You don't put LaMotta ahead of Robinson just because he beat him once do you? Exactly.

                  Manny's probably the greatest fighter of the last 25 years (ahead of the tysons, holyfields, leonards, durans)

                    Like hell he does. Only if your name is Hatton, and you jump in face first.

                    LOL @ "Lucky punch"

                      Bradley won good against Marquez I guess Bradley should be ATG too. Only idiots still subscribe to the triangle theory.
