I don’t like Floyd either bro, but he fought near enough every elite fighter of his generation

Most Intimidating: Mike Tyson

Some dude in here put Golovkin on the same level as Floyd I'm dying LMAO.

At the right time.

I didnt say he sucked.

I said he was great........cherrypicker.

He fought Corrales, Canelo, Cotto, Castillo x2, Maidana x2, Hatton etc all in their primes. He won tough fight after tough fight, he’s many things but he’s not a cherrypicker.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Yes. But when?

He beat many of them in their primes. Corrales, Cotto, Canelo etc

Provodnikov is a good shout for best chin, he was hard as nails, even Matthysse’s shots were bouncing off his chin.

I don’t think anyone from his own generation beats him, especially not Paul Williams or Margarito like some people suggest.

I’m convinced Tommy Hearns would’ve beat him convincingly though, I just don’t know how Floyd deals with that length, power and accuracy.

I’d also pick Leonard and Robinson to beat him.

I like those answers. I can see Hearn scaring him with his power early and keeping enough distance that Floyd runs out of time. Leonard would be a good fight, and I could see his flurries and showmanship being the edge. Plus he’s one guy that might have the stroke to get close rounds. I’ve seen a few Robinson fights and read his reviews. I don’t doubt he could win, but I find it harder to comment on fighters so far removed from my own witness. I do know Floyd is usually all wrong for people. Still I’m sure maybe not for someone. For sum reason I’d want him to fight Hawk time Aaron Pryor.
