    Default Cant touch this

    There are records you will struggle to break.. When will we if ever in our lifetimes see another bernard hopkins... Winning a world title at 48! Unreal acheivment. Will we ever see another roy jones moving from world honours at middle up through the divisions to culminate in a heavyweight world title! Or money mayweather simplisticly the best boxer the world has seen in a very long time. Will we see a crowd puller like ricky hatton again? My point is simple we should enjoy the fact we have been alive to see these greats. In 30 40 years people will be talking about them just like we talk of ali,robinson,louis,tyson,hagler,hearns,leonard,dur an. Many others. Enjoy it while it lasts we are living in historically record breaking times feel fortunate not bitter.

    100% agree, but I guess it's not in our nature to appreciate what we have until it's gone and viewed in hindsight. People on here love to drone on about "the golden age" and "the good old days", but I'll put the talent boxing has seen in the last 20/30 years against any time. Roy Jones, Sweet Pea, Bhop, my god. And Floyd is probably the greatest boxing talent in the history of the sport.

    Ali talked the talk, but he also walked the walk and "fought 'em all."
    If lil floid had fought the best prime guys during the last 11 years, he wouldn't be undefeated at all, and you fans would've had some classic fights worth remembering instead of his cherry-picked bore-fests since 2002 when Castillo whipped his @$$ and got robbed....

    Good defensive boxer, not a great fighter...

    Bernard Hopkins is a Great fighter.
    Manny Pacquiao is a Great fighter.

    It is one thing that annoys me about floyd that he didnt fight pac man. He would of boxed his face off. How can u say hes only good defensively when he dropped corrales 6 times or something. And he ruined gatti with great box punch skills. Rip to both floyd opponents...

    Agreed he should have taken the fight but he did not and it would have been a record purse.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Bradlee has a thing about hating the true greats.

    Great fighters should fight other great fighters.
