A place in History for the taking
I agree that PBF doesn't get the credit he deserves, but then right now he is not competing against the current fighters, he's competing against history.
For PBF to be assured as one of the greatest, with no if's, and's or but's then he should fight and beat ODH, Cotto, Hatton and Mosley. Then there will be no room for doubt, even from Merchant!! Of course they will be tremendously hard fights, but he has the ability to win them. He has always said that he want to go down as the greatest, there's his opportunity!
Please also note that I did not put Margarito in that list!
Re: A place in History for the taking
I think beating De La Hoya will prove the most, followed by Mosely. Cotto and Hatton havn't done anything to prove their greatness yet so I couldn't care if Floyd fights them or not.
I'd much rather he moved up to 154 and took on the likes of De La Hoya, Mosely, Ouma, Sechew Powell, even Cory Spinks.
I've got no interest in him fighting Hatton or Cotto whatsover. He beats both easily imo.
