    The more I watch these fighters the more I realize....

    None of these guys are on Pretty Boy Floyd or Money Mayweather level.

    Show me a devastating combination puncher like Pretty Boy

    Show me a defensive wizard like Money Mayweather

    Floyd was levels above these guys.

    From Corrales on I'd give any of those guys Floyd faced a chance to beat these top guys from 130-147. Except Conor and Gatti of course.

    Yep, we were lucky to have Floyd.

    PBF on KO Nation was awesome, my childhood thanks him.

    Money on HBO and Showtime was legendary.

    TBE on Showtime sealed the greatest unbeaten record since Melankomas in the first century.


    These punks would get served like he's John Mcenroe and if their girl stepped up he'd be smackin'uh'hoe.

      None of these dudes are it. Pacquiao just beat a top 5; Welterweight

        his defense definitely stands out among the rest

        excellent counter punching but his combination aint all that, still good

        special fighter for sure there's no denying that

          Ortiz was #4 in the division at the time and he’s looked at as one of the worst opponents of the Money era. That tells you something.

          I got genuinely depressed leading up to May vs PAC because I realized I may never see two guys going at it at that level again in my life. You gotta go back to the 80s and the four kings last time we saw that level fighting each other.

            we all know justin juuko would have been ruling 130 if he hadnt run into floyd we all know victoriano sosa would have been ruling 135 if he hadn't run into floyd. we all know henry bruseles would have been ruling 140 if he hadn't run into floyd. we all know baldomir would still be ruling 147 if he hadn't run into floyd.

                He started when he was really young, had great coaching, and had exceptional speed that was God given.

                Such a hard thing to replicate even with a ton of training.
