"If he retires after one more fight, even if it’s a sensational destruction of fellow great De La Hoya, he won’t be giving himself an opportunity to surpass them—not to mention the 20 or 30 (or more) other legendary fighters to whom he shouldn’t dare compare himself."
I think people overlook modern fighters alot, and this kind of statement is the perfect example.. Sure Floyd may be out of line saying he's better than SRR, or Leonard, Ali, and a few others.. But to say there are 20-30 or more fighters who Flod shouldn't dare compare himself is retarded imo.. I would have a hard time picking 10 fighters who I would consider p4p BETTER then he was.. Achievements aside, he certainly has a right to compare himself to just about anyone in terms of boxing ability.
