    Really bro?
    Off course they were , as I said when talking ATG size is critical, could Ray and Tommy make 130 ?

    And Mancini said the size is too much so its not just me recognizing the size difference , Hearns went to CW and Ray was a ripped MW, Floyd would be a blimp up and MW and blob at CW.

      Interesting criteria. You understand that Duran is ranked higher on many ATG lists than SRL and Hearns and he fought both of them, yes?

        That was duran a much denser guy physically, just because one guy can hold the weight doesnt mean everybody can.

        Did you hear Mancini mention the size ?

          lol Mancini is all butt hurt that Floyd isnt humble.

          Floyd is better than Ali, hes more skilled, had a higher ring IQ and he had better career longevity, retiring at the top at 38 years old. Also Ali was a mid to large sized heavyweight. Floyd fought larger men his entire career every division he was in. The only fight I can even think of that he was larger was vs JMM. Floyd even weighed less than Judah and Pac on fight night.

          And Floyd would stop Mancini at 135 too so he can *** off.

            Floyd is a lock for top 5 ATG. He will get his due in time.

              Legends know more about boxing than I do so why would I get upset with Boom Boom Mancini's Opinion

              YES Mayweather is a ALL TIME GREAT, is he the Greatest? Absolutely NOT! Is he even in the Conversation for Greatest? NO! Mayweather made it very clear that "Legacy Doesn't Pay Bills" which is very true. Just don't comeback years later trying to put yourself in the Conversation for G.O.A.T.

              TBE=The Best Earner
              Is really what he is, he is the G.O.A.T. hands down when it comes to earnings, Ticket/Gate Sales, PPV Buys none of his records will be broken EVER especially with the Streaming and APPS stuff happening now. Also will give him "Greatest Defensive Fighter Ever" won't deny him that. His ERA just wasn't Good Enough or Challenging Enough to be in "GOAT Conversation" and I put him around 30-50 Range All Time as well

              Fight Fans today especially the much young fight fans live in the moment. It is kinda funny how the younger fight fans have Google and Youtube and yet they STILL don't know nothing do the research before you label someone "The Greatest"

              Boxing has one of the richest Histories of ALL SPORTS! Being Considered "GREAT" in not suppose to come EASY to these fighters. It Takes Years and even DECADES Of domination, not a good 4-5 years knockout out WEAK OPPONENTS!

                De La Hoya is the same size as Ray Leonard. What of that?

                  We are not talking about Oscar we are talking about Ray Leonard and Hearns, they are bigger than Floyd by a good margin and I dont believe you can do that concerning ATGs head to head and expect it to be a fair matchup.

                  Look at the pictures Ray at MW and Hearns at MW, how do you think Floyd would look at MW, there is your size right in front of your face.

                  WW is not Floyds best weight he only went there and finished there because he could get away with it and thats where the money was.

                  Did you you hear Mancini mention the size as to thats why both Manny and Floyd lose is it too hard for you to put in print

                      Longest PFFFFFFFFFFFFT i will ever write here.

                      Duran would have murdered that sucker.

                      Floyd never fought credible opponent in his prime.
