I would have liked to see him against
Winky
Williams
Pacquiao
But he's beaten the man and the next man at 130(Hernandez, Corrales)
Beat the man at 135(Castillo)
Beat the man mutiple times at 147(Baldi, Shane)
Beat the man multiple times at 154(Cotto, Alvarez, DLH)
When you are champ from 1998-2014 some guys arre going to come and go without meeting. But he might be the all time record holder for beating reigning major title holders.(not sure about that but it's got to be close if not)
Thing is boxing fans are like poker players, they remember the negatives. A poker player remembers the bad beats, a boxing fan only thinks of the fights we didn't get. After a poker player retires they remember the wins. After a boxer retires we miss them and appreciate the good. I absolutely hated Leonard for beating all my favorites. Over time he's one of the fighters I respect the most. I wonder how many on here have been following long enough to remember Leonard was a "ducker" until he retired. It's f'n preposterous looking back but at the time...
Floyd is an all time great. Is he the GOAT, hell no. But truth is nobody is the GOAT. Some guys beat other guys, and some wouldn't beat others. If you mixed and matched everyone losess to someone and more likely multiple guys. Beating someone doesn't even make you better head to head. Don't believe me? Who's better Pep or Sadler?
