What does Floyd need to do to become "TBE"

[lefthook2daliva]

Well, if he could find a Tardis or a scientifically souped up Delorian and travel back in time and taken the fights he should have taken when he should have taken them and emerge victorious,/that would get him very, very close.......although he would still be the same age as now; but if he still won with that handicap, that would get him closer.

Alas, he'll/probably just have to keep/saying it over and over until those of us who know better are outnumbered and drown out by those who are less well versed...then he will be by popular opinion.

Looks like you beat me to it.

However, against my better judgment, I'm going to give the hoi polloi more credit than you do in your conclusion. ;-)

[Say-so]

Can anyone honestly name anyone credible in boxing that isn't biased that has called Mayweather TBE or GOAT? I always thought that was a title he gave himself to brainwash his fans.

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.

According to you sir, beating Mosley, Cotto, Hatton and DLH would put Floyd with the SRR, SRL and Ali of this world.

So youre basically one of the poster here saying Floyd is in the top 10 atg.

Hugh Grant thinks Floyd is in the top 5 atg. Look at my sig.

Beat Pac convincingly, move up and beat GGG - if either fights are competitive, rematch for your third fight and retire. If he manages to do this and retire at 50-0, he will be talked about and in the mix for one of the greatest, top 10.

No he will not, people will find 3 more guys and say he have to beat them, repeat.

Floyd is top 10 ATG maybe a bit higher but TBE? No ****ing way. For him to be TBE he has to actually do something no one thinks he can do. Like going up to 168 and beating Andre Ward. LITERALLY something everyone thinks he cant do.

[SkillspayBills]

Beat Margarito in like 2006/2007. Beat Cotto and Williams in like 2008. Manny in 2010.

The Mosley win was good, although Mosley on a year+ layoff.


Was an Erik Morales fight ever possible?

So if Floyd had won those four fights he'd be the GOAT to you right now?

No Morales was at 122 when Floyd was at 130. If Floyd was still at 130 MAB, Morales and Pac would have stayed their asses in the lower weight classes.

No, I don't think so. Anyone who knows anything knows I only said that to bribe Floyd to fight. You have to give Floyd and incentive to fight, as this was during the period Floyd was fighting once every 18months and cherry picking real bad.
Beating old SSM and DLH, and already lost many times Cotto and Hatton at 147 who arguably lost to Collazo don't make you the GOAT, you and I know that.
Next bribe is to tell Floyd that if he beats GGG at middlweight he will be fourth in the ATG books behind SRR, Aliand Pac. But the response from Floyd fans would probably be, "why should Floy give advantages, you just want him to lose? Floyd has never weighed more than 160 fight night and GGG will be 175"

Basically, Floyd wont take risks and don't care about his legacy enough to do what he needs to do. But yes, Floyd, if you beat GGG you will be no2 of all tiem behind SRR. Will you fight GGG then?

Morales made Floyd cry in the gym. He was not scared of no punk azz floyd.
