There is another thread Titled: What do you think makes a great champion.

My response is unifying the belts in your division. If we are going to talk about legacy than what Floyd needs to do to cement his legacy is unify his division. Yes he was THE CHAMP at 135, but he was certanly never THE champ at 140 or 147 because he never unified those divs. How could you say you are the champ and have some other guy be presented as a champ in you division and not fight him.

The fight against DLH means nothing other than BIG MONEY. Ofcourse he's going to take that fight. There is big rewards and very low risk because most people agree that even if he loses he is WAY over his natural weight and he is fighting arguably the best 154 pounder at this time in DLH. And if he wins then he has a huge name in his record and he beat him under some seriously disadvantegous circumstances.

After that, win or lose, he should come back down to 147 and clean house. Then we can consider him an All Time Great.

But this thread is about his record. Regardless of who he has faught, the fact that he is 37-0 with really only one fight that you could say was even close is in and of itself very impressive. Add to that that he did face the top at his division at the time in JLC and Chico Corrales and you have a fighter that has done more than most fighters of his era. The other names on hes record a just a plus to this and even though they were not in their prime, were defenetely capable and dangerous fighters.
