For millennials and maybe Gen Z this is a great class. But none of these guys are top 10 all time list. Holm might be because women side doesn't have any near as deep lineage as the men

@@eastcoastshine2009 No one in this class is in the top 10 might be true if your opinion was the in all be all, but unfortunately for you it's not it's just your opinion. To say Floyd is not top 10 all time with a 50- 0 record is crazy to me. I've never agreed with him being the greatest boxer but to not have him top 10 your boxing IQ is in question ❓❓❓❓

@@waliahmad3030 By your logic Joe Calzaghe who retired 46-0 should be in your all time top 10 and Ricardo Lopez who ended up 51-0 should be above Floyd. No one is saying these 3 undefeated guys aren't great but not overall top 10 all time great
@waliahmad3030 2 жыл бұрын
@@eastcoastshine2009 when you look at Floyd's resume and who he's faught no one with any boxing knowledge would say that he's not top 10. Calzaghe is a very underrated boxer, not top 10 but when he beat Hopkins he definitely improved his resume. I can tell that you know boxing but saying Mayweather isn't top 10 just isn't smart at all.

I was assigned his security detail on the Friday evening 06/10/2022 while he and his beautiful family had family time re ; dinner etc. I Praise God for his spiritual character and Andre class Gentleman-ship inside and outside the ring. Its so refreshing how he gives God the Praise and gratitude unto his wife, the other host of ibhof champion inductees and his trainer Vergil Hunter. Wow it was a humbling pleasure indeed. So Proud of him and unto all the Inductees. Kudos !!!
