    Floiyd knows he cant be the TBE, so he has to do the next best thing. At least fight people you arent supposed to and beat them.

    We know him beating GGG wouldnt make him the best ever, yet he wont fight him anyway. So Floyd is his worst enemy.

      The fact he has labeled himself TBE is all the evidence anyone should need to prove that his is NOT and never will be TBE.

        Being ranked as TBE is something us fans label a boxer as....

        We choose to say who is tbe

        In many people's eyes, floyds decision to protect the 0 above all else, including fighting the best when they were the best, is what did him in.

        There's no way you can de designated TBE yet didn't act like TBE in the ring.

        As of now he would have to beat the likes of MP GGG and other loved boxers in a decisive way, not jab and run, to be loved and appreciated enough. Something he will not risk

        History rewards the bold, FMJ was as careful in his last fights as anyone champion could be... Look at maidanas gloves and the ring size in 2. Smh

        Greatest defense of all time? One of, for sure

            Ali called himself the greatest but many consider Ray Robinson the best fighter ever.

            Self appointed titles like "The Greatest" and "The Best Ever" are simply promotional tools

            Floyd uses it to sell merchandise and grow his brand, It's all part of the image

                  Nothing...he will never be the best ever. Actually, nobody will. The best ever is a marketing ploy created by floyd that attracts fans who have social issues. Most of his fans are ne'er do wells and it gives them a sense of greatness to see one of their own be a self proclaimed "tbe"

                    Look at Leonard's record from '79 to '81, then look at Floyd's, now back at Leonard's.

                    And Leonard isn't even regarded as the best welterweight ever.

                    THIS ^^^^
                    Nothing......Only way he could have been TBE is if he fought Manny/ Prime Cotto, Maririto, PAul willams, MArtinez

                    And with that I still proably wudnt be TBE

                    Its too many legends who have done so much more that is just hard to compare to

                      And thats one of the reasons why im annoyed By Floyd

                      A guy who barely takes damage whining about his health, who doesnt care about fighting the best comes out and call himself TBE....thats so disrespectful to the real legends of boxing
