    What the fuck has GG done to seal anybodys legacy when he doesn't even one himself
    Hes thought of as one of the most dangerous and avoided fighters at around. It would take a very brave LMW to go up and fight him. Could you imagine the shit youd be giving GGG if he was to fight Cotto!

    GG is fighting in a dead division...nobody is afraid of him....and Cotto would actually be a huge step up for him considering hasn't done shit for 7 years.

    Floyd is not a LMW he's a WW with most of his career fights at 130 and 135.
    Mayweather has shown bravery by moving up so many times....now let's see GG do it ONCE.

    He won't because he simply does not have the game.

    Floyd was fighting at welter before GG went pro.

    3) GGG
    I think the Hop or Ward fights r too much to ask of Floyd. Porter will make him look bad with that style match up. Floyd will likely pull it out, but Porter will make it HARD. Bradley, Maidana, and Danny Garcia don't seem like viable threats to me. Khan is interesting because of his speed and boxing skill, but I think Floyd takes over late for the win. Pac

    Pac will present problems and be up for that fight, but I think he is farther past his prime than Floyd n will lose a decision or late stoppage. GGG is a HUGE risk n Floyd would be in my top ten with that win, but it will be tough to see him winning that one. I would be equally impressed with a Floyd win over Martinez. Those r the only ones I'm interested in seeing Floyd fight

    Really?

    Thurman, Pac Man, Segio/GGG would enhance it for sure.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    A win over Danny Garcia would look good, if he does well at WW.

    If Floyd beats Garcia, that will be TWO young guns who could do great things after losing to him. Hell, Garcia's already pretty accomplished. He's almost cleaned out 140.

    Floyd's legacy is sealed- even if he doesn't fight Pac. But, not fighting Pac put him out of the top 5 best EVER in the world conversation. He is in the top 20 best ever discussion, for sure. Which is nothing to snicker about.

    I rate SRL, Chavez Jr., Ali, Roy Jones and Ray Robinson ahead of him on any day....

    An argument can be made for Hopkins, Tyson, Lennox, Louis, Hagler, Hearns being ahead of him too.

    Agree an argument can be made for a lot of fighters because of his weak opposition. Id have Duran and Pep on that list too.

    Dont get me wrong Floyd has fought some really good fights, some great fighters, but I dont think hes ever fought another all time great in his prime. IMO his best wins came over 10 years ago

    NEXT THREE FIGHTS:

    Andre Ward at 168

    BHOP at 175.

    Then his retirement fight, Wlad Klitschko at HW.

    If he wins all those fights, then maybe he can be an ATG.

    Floyd's legacy is already sealed. Any boxing fan worth their salt knows he's an ATG.

    But, if I had to choose three opponents, it would be:

    Lara (If he beats Canelo)
    Winner of Thurman-Porter
    Winner of Martinez-Cotto

    If he wins the MW title, and becomes a six weight champion, that should silence his remaining doubters.

    Of course he is. But Im talking about sealing his place in the top5 ever. I dont think he has done that yet and imo is at least 3 really good opponents away from that.
