              Call me sour because he got the "W" against Pac, but I think he's been the best PICKER ever. He's said it numerous times, including what I have in my sig, he would never be in a fight that he knew he could lose. He makes perfect decisions regarding who to face and when to face them. He's generated so much revenue in Vegas that he's practically protected there.

              Nonetheless, when the hell have we ever picked Floyd to lose a fight he was in? To me, greatness and TBE is when a guy isn't expected to win keeps pulling off miracles. If you think a guy already is going to win, there is a reason...

Maybe you should read more because I said they aren't mainly found in front of the cover because foreign journalism is mainly behind the U.S in terms of cover. So it is hard to find one, but you can found it on youtube if you look into enough. And you can also look in to foreign T.V in mexico and spain and germany when they talk about boxing history.


                  Basing a criteria that has no direct bias in nationality should be considered and floyd already has the advantage. Why ask officials only in America when there are other countries?
                  I could also ask you how many of these boxing analist rank mayweather ahead of Pac or inside top 10.


                  Do you think Floyd is ahead of Manny despite the fact that Manny has the better resume, accomplished more, accomplished feats that no one in the boxing world has ever accomplished.

                  What is your criteria?

                  What did Floyd accomplished inside boxing?
                  Undefeated Record 49-0 surpassed by Ricardo Lopez
                  Lineal Champ at 4 weight classes, equaled by Manny Pacquiao and Henry Armstrong.
                  Champion in Five Divisions surpassed by Oscar Dela Hoya and Manny PAcquiao
                  No ATG prime in their best weight class and Manny has three

                  What did Pacquiao accomplished?
                  8 division champion (Never been done before)
                  7 division champion (Never been done before)
                  The only flyweight to win a belt in Lightweight, Lightwelterweight, Welterweight and Jr. Middleweight.
                  Fought Three ATG mexicans in their prime and best weight class.
                  One of the most celebrated Careers in boxing.
                  Lineal Champ at 4 weight classes equaled by Mayweather and Henry Armstrong.




                  this is an unbiased analysis from a BLACK analist and trainer of boxing and MMA who knows his history.
                  Quick correction Henry Armstrong never got 4 lineal titles he held 3 consecutively and was well on his way to winning a 4th (at mw) but got tired later and fought to a draw. also historians will probably never rank manny over Floyd because Floyd proved to be the best of this era when they fought. Wherever Floyd lands manny will be right behind.

                    "remotely close"?

                    yes, hes a lock for top 10 all time.

                    That is remotely close to being the best ever. You could debate if he is the absolute best ever but he is one of the best ever.
