Floyd's resume.

Tszyu at 140 would have been a nice addition

You are right forgot that omission in Floyds career as Kostya Tszyu was clearly the man not Gatti. Remember Floyd blubbering like a little girl when he beat Arturo which was over the top from him.

Floyd has 3 more fights for everyone to pick holes in.
He will never please everyone.
No boxer has ever pleased everyone.

True. Those holes look more like caves sometimes when he states he is the GOAT.

I would have liked:

Dorin (undefeated belt holder) or Spadafora (undefeated belt holder) over Sosa and Ndou at 135

Judah (who had beat Corley) Harris (undefated belt holder) and Tszyu (lineal champ) over Corley, Bruseles and Gatti at 140

Margarito and Spinks (before he lost to Judah) over Mitchell and Baldomir at 147

Baldomir, Gatti, Brussel sprout. These are prime reasons why I cannot take Floyd seriously and then there are the fights calling people out once or twice above their own weight class. Floyd has about 10 flaws in his record since becoming champ for the first time. He's not the only one, but Calzaghe doesn't claim to be the best ever. Mayweather is fraudulent in that regard. Even Khan did better with Maidana.

Yeah, obviously Floyd was good, nobody questions that, but just how good we'll never know because he avoided virtually all the best prime challenges from 2002 (post-Castillo) till 2011 (Victor Ortiz).

In those 8 years, the sole top prime dangerous guy he fought was Ricky Hatton.

During those 8 years, Floyd fought decent fighters, just not the elite fighters.
He probably would have beat most of those guys anyway, but speculating ain't doing.

So because he fought 3 questionable guys in 2005 and 2006, you can't take a guy seriously who's gone 18 years undefeated in the sport of boxing (including 16 years as a champ), has shown in-ring skills that are superior to anything we've seen since probably Sugar Ray Robinson, and drawn more money for boxing than anyone in the history of the sport?

And as far as Floyd calling out smaller guys... pretty much everyone Floyd fights is bigger than he is.

And do you know that back when Floyd was fighting at 130, he called out a 154 De La Hoya?

People ask me why I defend Floyd so much. I don't even like the guy, but he attracts a lot of ignorance.

Very true, his resume is a great one, but to be the GOAT he needs an undisputed one which would of included a prime Manny and a few others as mentioned.
