I think he loses to the top 4 and Tommy Hearns

Napoles, McLarnin, DLH, Trinidad, Ross and Mosley are all 50/50 in their primes, but with a gun put to my head, i'd give PBF the edge in cuteness..

The rest would all give him hell, but i think he overcomes them.. The hardest fights would be against Griffith and Benitez, as both are naturally much bigger than Floyd..

Surprised you didn't throw Duran in there..

I think he beats all the guys in bold, but a lot of them would be close fights.

I don't care what problems people have with Floyd, he is a talented, intelligent fighter who would hang with and beat many ATG's throughout history.

Well said.. But his inactivity is gonna ruin his legacy..

Funny, but I get the feeling from his statements he really doesn't care about his legacy.

What fighter does? This is their job, they are in it to make money over all.

I think Pacquaio, Marquez, Barrera, Cotto along with a good percentage of latin fighters were striving for best posible fight to create a better history for themselves.

Sugar Ray Leonard had some great fights with the best possible opponents, Duran, Hearns and Hagler, how is hell is Floyd going to get near SRL if he keeps fighting Smaller guys and avoiding risky opponents

He fought one smaller guy!!

It's amazing how Floyd can fight one smaller guy, after a string of bigger ones, and all of a sudden he "keeps fighting smaller guys"

Top fighters used to, and not that long ago either. Maybe mankind has gotten a lot more cynical the past 15 to 20 years but it wasn't ALL about the money once: Pride and being the best meant something more than how many PPV buys you got; and that was in my adult lifetime not my childhood.
