I think the key is as of right now, we are talking about a nearly 40 year old retired boxer. Also, I can't claim to know the history of Henry Armstrong, but Henry may of been able to gain the weight easier and healthier than Floyd. Floyd's best weight is at 147 and he was his most dominant as an action fighter at 140 and below. Many may disagree, but Floyd was not great at 154. Very good, but not great and for him to go to 160, I believe that he would lose to a very good fighter or even lesser fighter. It's not just about weight, he is only 5'7 or 5'8. As you move up, you start fighting taller fighters. Are there even any 5'7 SMW or MW? So when size is discussed as an issues, we have to consider weight and height (and reach). I don't know about the best ever either, but if he wants to make that claim, like Ali did in his day, than he should.

Lol remember all that bs you were spewing to try to hype your boyfriends fight with brook up? You're so gay for him. Now if Floyd Sr was claiming that he would beat gayhumpkin, you'd be singing a completely different tune....hypocrite.Comment

yeah and it turned out to be arguably GGG's hardest fight, as i said it would be.which you all ridiculed me for. unlike you and your merry band of haters, i am knowledgable about the sport.Comment

Lol @ hardest fight from a ww....just shows how pathetic the rest of his resume has been.Comment

All these are petty excuses that wouldn't be mentioned if he lost. Who has GGG fought to be mentioned in the same breath with Floyd? The man's best win is against Kell Brook lol Kell Brook at 160 for that matter. I think that says enough. Y'all need to stop putting this man on a pedastal, he's as untested as Deontay Wilder.Floyd style meant he didn't take a physical toll, especially only fighting twice a year most the time.
If he would of fought Cotto in 2009 instead of 2012. That would of been a much better fight.
For Manny it should have been 2010 instead of 2015. Manny in 2009 was a killer.
Did La Hoya was well past his prime.
Canelo was young, but he also had to come down two pounds. Canelo hardly makes 154, so 152 really hurt him.Comment
