If he was to beat Zab, then Oscar, then either Hatton or Margarito, you wouldn't consider him an all-time great? Or even if he lost to Zab, and while Zab was fighting Oscar, Floyd beats Margarito, then Hatton, then rematches Zab, he still wouldn't be great? This is the plan he and Arum have come up with, and if he sticks to it{Big if}, I can't see how you could doubt him.
Yes i definatly will consider him an all time great if he does that. I doubt him cos I don't think it's gonna go like that. If oscar doesn't beat him hatton will, but if it goes like u said then he will be an all time great for sure. His achievement at 130-135 cannot be questioned though.
I like Floyd, and a fight with Oscar will make alot of money, and even though Oscar is old, he still is a credible fighter, but I'd rather see him fight Margarito 1st. Then he secures that he beat 2 of the top 5 WWs, before taking the money fight.

I totally agree with him skipping 140{Hatton}, but I don't blame him completely. Some of that blame should go to Arum. Having Cotto at 140 being groomed for a big fight, but not being ready for Floyd, puts 2 of your horses in the same race, and all the attention goes to Floyd. Cotto doesn't get the big fights, which equalls less money and exposure for Arum. 2 undefeated fighters in 2 weight classes makes more sense. Especially if both can run the tables and then face each other in a mega-fight. As you can tell by the interview with Floyd, he loves Arum, and is going to do what he is told.
