    But, if I had to choose three opponents, it would be:

    Lara (If he beats Canelo)
    Winner of Thurman-Porter
    Winner of Martinez-Cotto

    If he wins the MW title, and becomes a six weight champion, that should silence his remaining doubters.
    Of course he is. But Im talking about sealing his place in the top5 ever. I dont think he has done that yet and imo is at least 3 really good opponents away from that.

    I don't think Floyd will ever be top 5. He just hasn't fought enough top opponents for that.

    Nobody will ever be top 5. After 1990, the polls closed and all the top 10 spots were taken.

    Especially when they do not fight the best fighters in their division.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well even if they did it wouldn't matter because everyone sucks now.

    But it would help a little.

    I would say the division right now is pretty weak compared to the 80's and the 90's don't you think. If the comp was still at that level i don't think pac even goes to welter and Mawyeather loses his 0. This division not shit but it sure is not stacked like it used to be it seems but oh well.
