Does not fighting the best in your era in thir primes exclude u from being the best..

[The Big Dunn]

best thing about other sports is

you cant choose who to battle in the championships

heat(mayweather) have to face thunder (pac), mavs (lara), spurs (ggg)
no matter whose injured or not playing (upper weight classes)

the heat (mayweather) cant choose to battle bobcats (guerrero), bucks (ortiz), pelicans (maidana/khan) in the championship. unless heat (mayweather) would not be champions

hope it makes sense, but if it doesnt make sense to you just ignore it

the best thing about other sports-teams cant refuse to play other teams because they don't want to take PED tests or are unhappy with the amount of ppv revenue.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao, well I can't believe that people are still using the word "duck" for this situation. Obviously, the promotional issues are the reason the fight never happened.

Actually Robinson clearly ducked Burley.

Also Robinson was soundly thrashed by Ralph Jones and never rematched him. Just because a fighter is clearly the best of his day doesn't make him better than fighters of a different time. There is no way to know for sure.

Off course it excludes you /end thread

This had me laughing pretty hard. "Ya'll musta forgot"

Maaaaaaan, I just laughed so fucking loud. I'm in tears.

He didn't fight the best so he isn't the best.

How simple does it have to be?

I respect the Floyd fans on this forum who respect his skill, but don't buy into the idea that He's anywhere close to being compared to the greats.

Could he have competed against the greats? Maybe. It's Subjective after all.

What isn't is his Resume. It leaves too much to be desired to ever compare his record against the Greats.

It will effect Floyd more than Lewis as the difference is that Lewis was ducked and Floyd did the ducking.

Yeah man I hear ya...If Floyd wasnt such a greedy twat, we would have had this fight already. He clearly never wanted it though(unless you are a floyd****, then you will tell yourself he did even in the face of the 100 tons of evidence to the contrary).

The whole PED thing was really embarrasing for floyd too especially when you consider his three failed tests and the inherent culture of juicing in his own stable.

Maybe? of course he could've competed with the greats.

Of course it matters.

And missing out on 1-2 fights for guys like Leonard and SRR doesnt mean anything because they fought many other elite fighters.
