    He fought three times in the last 12 months

      It seems you have something bothering you?

      Is it because nobody cared when Floyd retired? or some unresolved childhood issues perhaps?

        I think this thread is ******. Don't give ammo to the Gay one fanboys.

          Nothing is bothering me. Just having a bit of fun. And I didn't mean all Pac fans, just the *******s like Skip Bayless.

              Thurman was seen by many as a potential ATG but look at what Manny's rotting corpose did to him
              Who said Thurman was an ATG?

                There's very little sign that any of today's boxers have what it takes to make that ATG list. Corruption, too much focus on money, everyone's protecting their 0's by fighting tomato cans... as well as boxing's general decline.

                The fact that Manny's corpse was able to beat one of this gen's best offerings highlights the lack of quality around today.
                WW is a weak division. Its Crawford and Spence.

                MW remains loaded although maybe no ATG

                Loma is ATG SFW/JLW and the FW division itself is strong

                We might have something at LHW too

                There is definitely a small quality of ATG atm though..lots of prospect potential though like Haney and Shakur

                    Manny is the last of the Boxing Phenoms.

                    Crawford and Spence are overrated bums. BUMS.
