PBF is technically sound and taught to be that way. Great boxers combine technique and raw talent. There is nothing that PBF does that makes me go "WOW". That is the difference.
So because he doesn't make you go wow, that means he can't be a great?

I'm not gonna take away RJJ's wins just to prove that PBF is better because beating Toney, Hopkins, and McCallum(old) is an accoplishment. But PBF also has an impresive resume: Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo (twice), Corrales (and Judah).

RJJ is an athletic phenom but boxing is not basketball, or football, you need more than athleticism. RJJ never got hit because of his physical gifts whereas PBF rarely gets hit because of great skill. What happened to Roy when his physical gifts started to fade just a little?

Another thing is the question about Floyd's chin never been tested. Make sure you watch the Castillo fights. One particular shot in the first fight where Castillo connects with a full leverage shot right at the point of the chin while PBF runs into it would have KO'd many fighters. Castillo is a one-punch KO guy with 47 KO's in 54 fights.

Now about the Judah fight. Most boxing fans know that fighters who depend on their speed have trouble with guys who can match their speed. Judah could match PBF's speed and for 4 rounds he did well, but what happened when PBF figured him out? He loses 3 straight rounds to a man who could match his speed but then just dominated therafter. What else can you ask of this man?

BTW, PBF is still going strong and at this pace I don't see him losing to Hatton, Margarito, DLH, or Mosley. When he beats all these guys that are put in front of him, what will people say then? I know he's not comparable to Ali right now but if he gets past all these guys then he has to be mentioned.
