Let's have a name, then. And I disagree with your premise. If you are the best, then there is no one "out there" better than you. That's what best means. You are saying that the word 'best' is by definition meaningless.

If Floyd is not great, who is?

If Floyd is not great, and there is someone better, then who is it?

I can give you a list of who it's not ... all previous PBF opponents.

Give me one name - who is currently better and is also a viable opponent (none of this P4P or reaching back into historical hypotheticals). Who could Floyd get in the ring with next month and get whupped by?

Onliest one I can take seriously as a threat is Hatton. I have a feeling his first four Judah-like rounds would last a little longer than four rounds. In fact, more than a feeling - a high expectation.

PBF would not be able to wait like he did with Zab, for Zab to lose steam. Hatton doesn't and he won't.

PBF would not be able to wait and 'figure him out' because he will need every round he can get and can't do a hopkins and give away the first half of the fight.

PBF will need to pick a path early and execute it from the get-go - stick and counter, time him, catch him coming in and duck and run and box from the outside, out-point and do not fight close or let Hatton force a close fight. Clinch on the inside, box from the outside.

It will be very hard. Hard to 'time' a swarmer like Hatton. But I pick PBF to win.

So what's that one name, getting back to the question?
