    I wish Mayweather stayed at 140 and hunted Hatton and Cotto, then he'd of really proved himself.
    You also had Junior Witter dominating Europe, Paul Spadafora coming up, Mickey Ward, everybody.

      this is hilarious!!! ali and leonard fought other all time greats, pbf has NOT... PBF has yet to be in a superfight... his fight with chico was on HBO and even his rematch with castillo wasnt a main event, it played 2nd to wlad/mccline... if and when he fights oscar, it will be his first SUPERFIGHT compared to the MANY that leonard and ali had....

          Dude, your delusional. You probably didn't even know what boxing was until last year.

          Nunn was a top three lb4lber from '88 to '91, and SCHOOLED Toney for nine rounds.

            Nunn wasn't a great fighter, no, but he was the most talented fighter of his generation IMO.

                Nunn was considered 'the man' in the middleweight division when it was the best it has ever been in history by miles in terms of sheer depth (Kalambay, McCallum, Graham, Duran, Barkley, Benn, Watson, Olajide, Eubank, Julian Jackson, Milton, Toney, Reggie Johnson, Steve Collins, Parks, McClellan, Hopkins, Jones, DeWitt, Sims).

                  Do you even know if Michael Nunn is black or white?

                  I'm talking about the class of physical ability here, not the class of 'all time great'.

                      Because there's no way you can rank Mayweather with Leonard, Whitaker, De La Hoya etc in terms of greatness.
