    Come on man you know better then that. Cal never called out Jones because Cal was just starting to own the division when Roy was long gone to light heavyweight.
    I like to wind up dia bando..

    RJJ runs everything prime for prime.

    Back on topic, floyd called out everyone and beat everyone...

    Bring on 50-0

    Comparisons are hard to make with fighters, of different eras Floyd is a good fighter but imagine
    him fighting Mike McCallum at light middle hell he would have taken a beating.
    Speed SRL also Tommy Hearns, punch volume Pryor the contenders than would be good champions
    now.

    Floyd is small for Welterweight...so no idea what bringing McCallum into the discussion proves. No one questions Leonard being the naturally bigger guy. If we use this kind of logic we could also argue that if Sugar Ray somehow fought Floyd at 130-135...Floyd would be the favorite.

    May I remind you Floyd was light middle weight Champion so there is your comparison, you fight
    at the weight, you face them logic has nothing to do with it.

    You seem to still miss the point. Leonard was naturally the bigger man...yes Floyd has won at 154...but that is no where close to his best weight. Floyd was at his absolute peak at 130-140. If you want to discount the natural size advantage a great fighter like Leonard would have at 147 and above...so be it.

    I think SRL wins a clear ud by landing better punches and more often in a boring fight. Mayweather great fight in my top 15 but who the fuck at 147 did he fight that was really great no one really. Hatton eh at the weight, Mosley was 38 had not fought in year, Balomair well shit come on now, and then there Zab i mean pretty weak list. His best weight was 130 and 135 not 147 he has the weakest comp there by far out of all the weight classes. Anyhow i go with SRL i also rate him higher in atg list as well he has got the resume to back up his shit.

    Floyd may well have been light middleweight champion but the fact remains that was an inflated weight for him and a very comfortable weight for SRL. Weight may very well give SRL an edge but lb for lb I cannot go past Floyd.

    Well you should, Floyd has done nothing that Pernell Whitaker has not already done and most do not consider a great welterweight but do at lightweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I still say that Zab was winning rounds and deserved a rematch after that 03 fight. And why was Floyd not DQ"d when roger mayweather entered the ring ? I'll never understand that one
