      Had Floyd just fought and beat the best guys in their prime, and not left so much room for debate, then he would come out on top when these types of threads are made.
      Floyd Boys always have to alter the topic of the thread just so Floyd comes out on top.
      The question wasn't who beat more paper champs, but that seems to be Floyd Boys go to answer when his peers trump him.

        Outclassed? Rematch was scored 7-5, right?

          You scored it that close? I didn't see a close fight at all in the rematch.

              You said that if Floyd won FOTD, you would never post on here again. Then you moved the goalposts and declared that you wouldn't post in Floyd and Pac threads again.

              Why are you posting?

                It's not that simple. Lots of guys fight out of their prime former world champions.

                  Short answer? Floyd.

                  Long answer? Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                    ERR! WRONG!

                    Damn dude, YDKSAB!

                    Bernie Hopkins of course.
                    He didn’t duck and dodge prime fighters like Floyd did.
                    Plus Bernie actually fought, Floyd devised a run and hug method and Vegas was fixed with it.
