    Also.canzoneri defended his lightweight and jr welt titles against ross...ross gave him a rematch for both titles

    Good company to be in if you ask me....he did something that hasnt been done in over 80 years....nothing to sneeze.at
    Id support Floyd keeping those titles if the same logic was applied to everyone. But its not, hes given special privileges because of his marketability, and sanction fees theyd get from him. Besides, those titles of his are practically kept hostage

    Other boxers would have been stripped

    PS theres been lots of examples of fighters having titles in multiple divisions. Pacquiao had the WBO Welterweight and WBC Light Middleweight at the same time. The difference is, they are usually stripped or vacated.

      My point is he earned lineal titles so he should lose em in the ring

So please stop comparing Floyd's resume with those who fought all comers and have on their resume prime top quality opponents who presented them with HIGH RISK!
        You are a total fanboy arguing spin , fck me Robinson resume is full of bums and a hand full of top fighters you could quite easily reduce the 100 something fights to a modern era fighter of 30-50 fights and its still would only have a handful of great opponents the rest are just BS fights , every ATG made their name off a few fights their over all resume has a load of bums in it , thats boxing .

        Fanboys and casual fans have lost the essence of boxing because they dont understand the fight game , they swallow hype because they dont know any different , they dont understand anything about the numbers and titles , they only know the name and number and title on face value like a notch on a handle , the timing weight and current form means everything , the notch can be a false representation very easily , and then they will still spin the numbers to suit their agenda lol , I dont respect fanboys at all thats why Im so aggressive towards them , they cheapen the sport I love by going out of their way just to hate on a fighter .

        • He can't be considered 'The Best Ever' and there isn't anything he can do from now till his impending retirement that will change that. He is a modern great, one of the best fighters of his generation, future first ballot hall of fame inductee etc...But he is not the best EVER...

          If he fought Pac and GGG then yeah his legacy would greatly increase in a positive way, but realistically there isn't a chance of becoming the best boxer that ever existed with the current landscape and his time left in the sport.

          • Floyd should've never retired in 2007 while WW was hot; just saying...

            • We all know mayweather will never take any risks regarding his 0. His reputation is laughable at best, inside and outside the ring. The sooner he retires, the better.

I could name a slew of fighters who could have the same results if they cherry picked like mayweather has done. mayweather would have been eaten alive had he fought in the 70's n 80's in the leonard/hearns/hagler era. the best fought the best back then
                  so you cant name even one fighter! that's why he is TBE!

                  henry armstrong was the last fighter to be lineal at two weight classes simultaneously...that is why floyd is TBE..armstorng retired at 33 floyd is still going strong at 37..

                    Your argument is weak and your comprehension sucks

                    Did I not say it's when you beat fighters, not just names

                    Odlh was at his best weight 165 in the ring with money...154 weight class and just won the wbc title....with pac ivs at 147 weighing less than pac fight night

                    Mosley kayoed margo prior to losing to may, where as pac fought him 2 years without a win

                    Cotto on a run @ 154 against may, against pac cotto controversially beat clottey and got a drubbing from marg right before



                    I bet you still dont get it....sad

                    • whats floyds resume worth? and who is his best win. if you want to talk about what he's done then, those 2 questions should already make the claim TBE laughable, even downright insulting to those who are in or follow boxing.
