Floyd picks his top 5 OF ALL TIME

[IamInuit]

I thought he made an interesting point - "I've had fewer fights than all of these but beat more champions" (although Leonard only had 40 fights). Sort of reverse numbers game where we tend to favour the more fights the better.

On another note - good to see that Floyd knows Duran would have beat the living shit out of him.

Yeah well if earlier eras had all the belts floating around that he does instead of 1 and later 2 I'm sure the gap would have closed. In addition fighters like Rigo and the Kazak would never be denied. Whats happening in the middleweight division would never happen. They have about 10 world titles in each division and yet its a closed system.

It was very telling that he left Hank off his list and never included Robinson on the pick and play. Robinson beat 18 world champions and 11 Hall of Famers and the only reason Floyd did anything with less fights is because he retired for about 5 years all tolled during his career thus far. And at times out of convenience. One of the lap dogs on the show should have also reminded him that fighters fought more cause they had to.


But again the whole thing was choreographed and designed to create more Floyd threads on boxing forums because as we both know there are simply not enough.

There was nothing telling about Floyd's picks. He was on a Latino show.

From his perspective he is TBE because he's beat more "champions" in less fights. I do not think he's TBE, or anywhere close, but in this modern age there's no reason a fighter would think winning titles is less of an achievement than in the past.

Floyd maybe could have been 130-1 in the past.

Robinson maybe could be 48-0 in the present.
