He is great, but not the best ever, not even top 5. And he probably wont be top 20 after May 5th. If he beats Oscar, then Cotto and maybe another top opponent like Shane Mosley, then he will be in my list for the best ever, until then, I just wish he'd let his fights speak for themselves. Oh, and he should have at least one loss to Castillo.
In Floyd's defense, it takes two to make a fight.
Who should he fought on his way up? Margarito? Hatton?
What could he have done with the options given to him?
