But TBE? Not even close. He doesn’t make a top 25 all time PFP list.
If you don’t have him on your list that is fine but when respected historians and media have him there then it could be a case of you’re biased.

I listed my top 15 and can rattle off another 10 who I felt were PFP better. Is it 100% right? Each is in the eye of the beholder.Last edited by Boxingfanatic75; 01-18-2020, 03:00 PM.

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostOk. I just think it’s hard to not have him there given everything he’s done and that he is considered one of the 2 or 3 best defensive fighters in history.
There's a plethora of technical boxers but very few with his ability to keep the fight under his control. Regardless of what he gets hit with.

Winner Of The Decade, not Fighter
To keep it real, Floyd should be winner of the year. He fought by shot potting and moving away and Winning by points. Sometimes “real fighters and champion” in history are known as those who get back up after losses and adversity and then win titles after titles.
Pacquiao fought every year from 2010-2019 (the meaning of a decade) and fought killer dogs, continuously loved to fight and entertain the fans for 10 years. Floyd fought 2010-2015. Most people don’t consider the Conner fight a real boxing fight. Floyd is WOTD. Either PAC or Canelo should be FOTD.

Having gwildcat77 smoke your c0ck and floss with your pubic hairs daily isn’t one of the
