    Pick an excuse, any excuse you like and he still fought bigger and better guys than Pac. AND he beat Pac.

      If he was underdog against nel o at 160 but then went onto win and surprise people. People would have to eat humble pie and acknowledge he was better than they thought. Like Ali said after beating foreman don't make me underdog until I'm 50 years old. We've been apologetic to Ali ever since.
      You Made a list of opponents you felt could beat Floyd and said he would be an ATG if he defeated them. He defeated all of the names in your list.

      How can you post Floyd never took risks when he beat everyone you listed you felt could beat him?

          Your special one, twisting logic! I could name fighters who would have been favorites against ggg. Ggg who never moved weightclasses or fought bigger fighters.... Floyd name them? And don't go to 160 for a guy who is a basically a 135 guy

            I Doubt that. As Pac has the better resume and better wins.
            Morales, barrera, jmm, thurman, dlh, bradley, cotto, hatton etc etc

                  Yes, Floyd fought and beat the guys I said he should fight to be mentioned as an atg. He is now a lower echelon ATg below pac, srr, ali, duran.
                  He took calculated risks. He said he could beat Ggg But didn't test his theory out. He obviously didn't take the risks boxing fans wouldve liked him to. He didn't fight anyone who people thought would destroy him. Could have fought ggg , nelo now at 160. Come on Floyd knock yourself out. Show people your better than people think.
                  Floyd S 3rd best of era behind Pac and RJJ, and alongside bh. Bh did things people didn't think he could. Floyd only beat past prime, or green guys with cw. Why shouldn't he be favourute?
