    How about getting cleanly outboxed by Dejesus, Benitez, Kirkland Laing, Robbie Sims. Or being unable to figure out Tommy Hearns and getting blown out like a bum in 2 rounds.

    But yeah, he'd go out and destroy one of the greatest defensive boxers in history.

    Floyd needs no choreographer in the ring but he needs Bob Fosse outside it. He actually belittled himself by his choices for the list who he picked off said list and who he left off it. He feeds the hysteria even if he wasn't serious.

    Thee end.

    Floyd also left Ray Robinson off the list as a deliberate slight. Its an attempt to distance himself from the fighter people have him in constant competition with for the best ever title. A tad petty, but look who we're talking about here. He based his number #1 selection is based off of earnings and beating more champions. Like I said before, some of the accolades hes boasting about are him being a beneficiary of the time hes fighting in.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Unless I've missed it, I'm really surprised there's virtually no mention anywhere of Sugar Ray Leonard, yet lots of Duran.

    Thats not his real list.

    He put those names down (especially duran and chavez) to appeal to the masses.

    Its a business pick.

    Adrian Broner is poised to and most likely will be calling himself a "FOUR" division champion by years end. Does anyone in there right mind think he remotely compares to a Jones Jr, Hearns or Whitaker as far as ring/ big fight accomplishment We live in the era of everybody gets a star championships and trinkets. The things should come falling out of gum ball machines now.

    However pathetic we think the titles are today the actual fighters don't think the same.

    Have you ever seen a fighter that has won a belt say I don't want that rubbish, i'm not a real champ. There are currently dozens of "world" champions - who clearly weren't the best in their division - dining out on the fact they won a silly belt. The record books will forever list them as a champion.

    The more Floyd talks the better because he just digs a bigger hole for himself.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
