Floyd 20 year dominance made an entire era look "weak".

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Floyd goes undefeated vs DURAN HAGLER SRL AND HEARNS just the same.


This is all I need to read to see that you don't know ish about boxing.

Floyd, great fighter for sure especially in the lighter weights as Pretty Boy but when the boxing books are being written, those 4 fighters will be mentioned in a higher historical perspective than Money Mayweather because of the timing of their fights. No fault of his that Floyd fought in a not golden era of welterweights, but the bad part is that he could have fought the Pacquaios, Mosley, Cottos, Margaritos etc when those fight actually meant something. Welterweight division was on fire in 2008 but Floyd decide to conveniently retire from boxing. That's all that needs to be said. Still is a great fighter but far from TBE. Undefeated record doesn't make you the best ever. Your opposition and the timing of those fights count for more, that is why Ali is regarded as the GOAT even with his losses, and why those welterweight are highly regarded than him except amongst you new school/internet age boxing kids.

While am on this, Floyd might be able to frustrate Duran to a decision (not absolutely sure), Hagler perhaps but he loses a clear decision to SRL, and he absolutely gets wrecked by Tommy Hearns, bad style match up.

Most convenient retirement ever. Only to come back later when things had cooled down. A classic duck move and pretty blatant really.

I've always thought Floyd was #1 fighter from 130-147, and btw Wlad also made a whole era look weak, he would have dominated the 70's like he did 2006-2015

Ali would have boxed the **** out of wlad, foreman probably would knock him out. Also larry holmes would probably beat him too. I think he beats guys like frazier and ken norton though.

Mayweather was great but not the superman you are turning him into. He didn't dominate for 20 years. I think 16 years would be more accurate. Castillo beat him in my opinion. A prime Duran likely beats him at 135. Hearns beats him at 147. A prime Hagler crushes him. Jose Napoles beats him at 130, 135, 140 and 147. Trinidad beats him at 147 and 154 He beat Canelo at a catch weight of 152. All of these fight results are just my opinion just as your imaginary Mayweather wins are just your opinion..

Ali of the 70's???? The one that lay's on the ropes?? His power would be too much, and Foreman would get out jabbed, out clinched, and at the end would get knocked out as well, and Holmes and Wlad would be a jab fest, since Klitschko is like 30-40 lbs bigger he would win in the end

None on your list beat him at 130.

PAC made an era look bad. Yes a few fighters gave him a good fight, but but morales is a greater fighter than f!oyds ever fought anyway.
He didn't make Castillo look weak, noir maidana, or cotton, or PAC or Judah and many others!

Floyd is American Sven ottke

[Jubei]

Last I remember Pacman was the Fighter of the Decade during Floyds so called "reign"... Haha your womenbeater got beaten by a small Philippino.

[W1LL]

Floyd will be remembered for making it to the top and then carefully weighing the risk versus the reward of each fight. Once he reached the pinnacle he never again took a fight in which he felt he couldn't win with ease.

[LetOutTheCage]

This is embarrassing to read...

[pacphobia]

He can't even get the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE award.

Very true
