Henry Armstrorng never won the middleweight championship so he only conquered 3 weight classes

so basically floyd has to go up and fight somebody large enough to beat him, before he can be acknowledge as the best lol

people really just hate the fact floyd is undefeated

hopkins still got dawson problems

It's widely acknowledged that Armstrong was robbed in his title bout and should have won the title.

okay and that was against garcia who he had already beaten at welterweight, garcia wasn't even a real middleweight he was 153 pounds when they fought for the middleweight title

so Floyd ha already being doing what henry armstrong shyt he was 146 against Maidana weighing 165, De La Hoyw as 160 when he was 154 etc

people neglect all facts and logic when it comes to discrediting floyd, I think bhop is a little envious

He most certainly was a middleweight as light middleweight as a division did not exist until the 1960s..welterweight > middleweight. Anything in between those limits in those days was a middle like 153. Know your boxing history like bhop said.

And in today's era it would have been classifiedd as Jr Middleweight

Judah was 154 and Floyd was 147, he's already fought middleweight 160 guys De La Hoya, Cotto, and Canelo all came in at 160 or higher as well as Maidana in the first fight

Floyd 147
Canelo 165 +13 years younger

So Floyd has beat opponents weighing from 135 to 165, thats unofficially what...like 5 or 6 divisions? For the record, I dont believe Floyd is TBE but not for those reasons. I believe he needs to beat Pac to even be considered. Not really sure you can put him past Roy Jones without a win against PacMan. Roy Jones won as a heavyweight :wow:

Mixed feelings on this lecture by Professor B-Hop.

1. He's correct in his assessment of the best ever.
2. Just say Floyd's name and cut the games.
3. Floyd knows he isn't TBE at ALL., he uses it for $$$
4. B-Hop needs to study on weight classes and who moved up and fought who at what weights.
5. No one is TBE.
