What on his record makes him head and shoulders above the rest besides his mouth?
Ask Ring Magazine, as they have him #1 P4P. People wanted to see him fight Corrales when they were undefeated, and he fought him. People wanted to see him fight Castillo a second time after they thought Castillo beat him, and he fought him. People wanted to see him fight DLH, and he fought him. People want to see him fight Hatton, and he's fighting him in November. You seem to be overlooking one glaring fact, Floyd generally tends to fight who people want him to fight. You mention Gatti and Judah yet don't seem to want to recognize that those are simply tuneups, which is something every single fighter has on their resume, yet you seem to want to punish only Floyd for it.
Sorry who wanted Floyd vs De la Hoya ? Sure it was a popular idea when the fight was announced , but before the match was made, nobody was saying OH GOD FLOYD HAS TO FIGHT ODLH NOW!
Especially the hardcore fans, who gave a sh** about Floyd fighting some old fighter at a high weight when there is so many prime fighers down in the welters.
grrr, that matchup makes me so angry because It was such a load of bull from the acting to the actual fight.
Is this a serious question? Who wanted Floyd v. DLH? Judging by the ppv numbers, quite a few people wanted to see it.
people wanted somebody to knock pbf aZZ to mars.. not because they really wanted to see pbf vs odlh

3 or 4 fights a year for 2 years.
Anyone of the following...
Hatton, Cotto, Mosely, Margarito, Hopkins, Berto, Winky, Tito
He doesn't even have to beat all of them, just give it everything and perform well. (Stop trying to protect an undefeated record.)
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Pump 'ya breaks....
Berto! BERTO! You mean Andre Berto? The young prospcet?
Oh! hell no, Berto ain't gonna be ready for no PBF within 2 yrs.
Berto has more then 2 yrs. to cover if he want's to have a long wining career. Moving up in class is NOT always a good idea. Sure it works for some but those can be counted for in 1 hand.
Also theres no need to fight Tito, Tito needs to stay retired and enjoying his family and life now just like Lennox and JCC.
I agree with Tito staying retired and Berto still being green. I suppose I could have put Williams on Cintron before Berto... but what I was trying to highlight was many great fighters have cleaned up or attempted to clean up the top boxer in and around their weightclasses and IMO PBF has not done this yet. Although PBF has the talent to try this and succeed, he tends to pick and choose his opponents and dismiss possible tough challenges. I know there are PBF lovers and haters, but I seem to ride the fence alot... because I like his talent, but I tend to criticize him for not fighting the best fighter out there at the time and weight he is at. I know the PBF fans will say that the opponent wasn't worth the $ and the haters will say that he was scared. I say who gives a shit what the reason is and let's see the fight!

Re: what does floyd ahve to do to become a legend?
no matter how much talent floyd has, people will always view him as a low class, foul mouthed blowhard.

I agree, you may not like Floyd as a person but as a fighter theres no denying his ability.
Mayweather seems to be doing the right things to end his career as an all time great! Hatton's up next (which I think Floyd will dominate with a skillful performance) after that hopefully we'll get the winner of Mosley/ Cotto! From there who knows at this point...
Re: what does floyd ahve to do to become a legend?
He has to overcome adversity. Most ATGs lost the title at some point in their career and regained it against the odds. Im not saying he has to lose to become a great but Floyd problem is he had a pretty straight road to getting where he is. Hes been too succesful. Hes been so good theat he hasnt had to show the number one element of a being a champion, a champions heart.
Re: what does floyd ahve to do to become a legend?
Make Britny Spears his Girl. LOL nah I don't know maybe
UNIFY 147 only that little detail be he decides to go to 140 from 154 ???
Re: what does floyd ahve to do to become a legend?
i'm not saying he hasn't got talent. I'm saying his shitty persona takes away from his talent.
