Come on breh....dont do this:comeon:


He could've fought Kostya Tszyu, Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, 2008-2011 Manny Pacquiao, prime Cotto (before he got destroyed by Margarito and Pacquiao)


There's no reason he missed all those fights when the public was clamoring for those fights to happen and against fighters that all had realistic chances of beating him or making it a close fight.

Prime Miguel Cotto would get smashed by Floyd he's a better boxer now than then, they said he wasn't ready

Margarito is no threat and he lost o Paul Williams before Floyd fought Hatton

then he lost to Shane before Floyd fought him

fall back

Kostya Tsyzu lost to Hatton man

stop it

Margarito did have a belt...

No he didn't

goddamn, man

Margarito first off WON THE VACANT WBO CHAMP

Secondly Floyd has never fought for the WBO belt, and never held it

top rank has the WBO in it's pocket and the belt is worthless

Lastly, Margarito lost his WBO belt to Paul Williams the same year Floyd fought the undefeated Ricky Hatton

For him to believe it, I have no problem with it. He's supposed to be supremely confident about himself.

For OTHERS to believe it, I think it's pure non-sense:manny:
thats your opinion
but its not non sense at all
plenty of credible people in the boxing world have him as one of the greatest
if you look at it from a skills and dominance perspective, you'll understand where they coming from

instead haters just wanna discredit and have short term memories
it is what it is tho:yeshrug:

Who said he isn't one of the greatest :what:
There is a difference between one of the greatest and the greatest.

Floyd can't have it both ways. He can't throw shade at Ali, SRL, and SRR and avoid the criticism. Since he wants to be TBE, he needs to face criticism for not fighting Manny, his "retirement", not fighting all the best around his weight, etc. And you can't build a case for GOAT status when half of it consists of "would have". And he can't do anything about it at this point, because the talent isn't where it was then. But his fans will just accepts whatever narrative he pushes. Boxing historians, writers, and real fans see through it, so it's no big deal. History will remember Floyd with ATG skill but not an ATG resume.

Max Kellerman said it best: Floyd will only take a fight if he's 100% sure he's going to win it. He cares more about his Zero than his legacy.
that shyt doesnt even make any sense
smart dumb ass comment
floyd goes into every fight expecting to win
so does pacquaio, so does any elite boxer in their prime
you really think floyd got this far doubting himself or his talent:mjlol:

and like we all know, NOTHING is guaranteed in boxing
it can be a lucky shot, u can get a injuryu can get a cut, anything can happen in that boxing ring

people like to forget how floyd was the most ducked fighter on the come up. its only after he left bob arum and beat oscar de la hoya dat all this ducking non sense came about
it takes two to make a fight

You either know exactly what the quote means and you're dodging the point, or you're slow. It's not about expecting to win once the fight is made. It's about not agreeing to fight a guy unless he KNOWS he can't lose. He's hedged his bets and played it safe. He's risk averse. That's the point. And you can't play it safe and be the greatest.
