I dont see how its hard to imagine him being top 5. He makes his fights look so easy. He's beat everyone that he can fight besides cotto. You guys act like there is an abundance of GOOD fighters in his weightclass.
ok to go with your thoughts,
imagine Ray Leonard, Duran, hearns and Hagler all fighting in the same Era and not fighting each other.
Thats the difference, there is very competent talent and challenges out there for Floyd (cintron, Cotto, Margarita, Williams, and Mosely) U, me hell, we allmay feel like he can bea all those guys but there's somethin to be said for going out and doing it.
Sweet Pea had De La hoya and Ceaser Chavez, and yet all 3 somehow someway fought eachother. that is how you judge greatness.
ALi fought everyone
Leonard fought everyone
Hearns fought everyone
etc...
we cant say the same for Floyd,
He is a joy to watch but he hasnt demonstrated a willingness to strap em up with any and everybody
Because I think his defense is Top 5 IMO
No doubt he's top 3 defensive fighter ever
Sweet Pea
Pepp
Floyd
I dont think there's much too dispute over that
