    That's murderer's row.
    But how many of them would make the All-Time P4P list?


    Hearns-Hagler-Duran-Leonard era was simply too amazing.

        He holds records for most successful defenses of world titles (27), most title fight victories (31), most title fights (37), and he is after Joe Louis (with 23) for most title defenses won by knockout (21).

        Stop it. You sound silly. 37 title fights is knocking on Floyds career in total fights.

          Gatti and De La Hoya are already in. Hernandez became eligible last year. That's 3.

          Marquez, Mosley, Cotto, and Pacquiao are locks. That's 7.

          Corrales, Castillo (2x), and Hatton will all receive consideration. That's 4 more.

          Alvarez has potential. Plus Floyd has at least 2 more fights left.

            The record is fairly nominal. I mean, wasn't Canelo like 45-0 going into Mayweather? So if he'd side-stepped that fight, and continued fighting 5 more times, then he broke Marciano's record at 23? A joke.

            It's like your buddy bragging about ****ing 200 chicks to your 30.
            But his are all slump busters, and you're only about that A side snatch

            It's quality over quantity. **** Marciano's record

              I think what enhances Floyd's legacy is not just that he's undefeated after 48 fights but he's undefeated after 48, over 19 years. I can't think of any other boxer than can claim that

                  Eh Hernandez has been eligible for like 11 or 12 years. So like I said you got like 6 locks, 1 potential and a few long shots.

                      To me. Neither really. What impresses me is what Les posted for Chavez Sr., being undisputed champion, long reigns over a division, things of that nature.
