—Commenting on Floyd

“You can’t be great unless you face greatness.”

So, this is my dad talking Floyd. He feels like Floyd is a great fighter but that he won’t receive the same credit as the past greats because he hasn’t fought anyone on his level who could really test him like they have. I have to say I agree with that. Maybe the argument could be there just aren’t enough guys out there good enough to really test him. Either way, it’s true in my opinion. His ultimate test would be Pacquiao and vice versa. But that fight won’t happen unfortunately.
