    Where Do You Rank Floyd as an ATG?

    As a Pac fan, I know I'm looking through rose-tinted glasses but Floyd isn't in the top-20 ATGs, IMHO.

    Even if he beats Pac, I don't think he'll surpass his legacy in the sport.

    With that out of my chest, it's now your turn to asses Floyd's legacy.

    Where does he rank in the ATG list? Do explain your ranking likewise.

        Outside the top 50 IMO. Somewhere between 60 and 80.

          floyd is def. top 30ish hovering top 25, if he beats pac top 15. Im basing this purely on the amount of people that can beat him at his weight class. I see pac beating a lot more all time welter weights than i see floyd doing so. Pac is a lot higher than him based on historic weight climb and belt capturing at those weights. If floyd came from the same weight, he could surpass pac if he beat him. Based on historics alone pac is gonna go down as a higher ranked fighter off weight alone.

            I'm not gonna rank fighters all time anymore cuz its too much work to try and break down where one guy should be placed or not(I wouldn't put either guy in the top 10-15 off the tip of the brain tho).

            I have Pac ranked higher than Floyd tho...if Floyd beats him and wins another meaningful fight I think he may surpass him...

            Anyone who gives you a number prob doesn't have a list themselves...so there just guessing

              floyd had the potential to break into the top ten atg list. what a waste of talent.

                  i'm not hating. what i'm saying is the only way he'll surpass pac in the atg list is by beating him, beating ssm/berto, and maybe getting a 154 belt.

                    No hate,but saying he is top ten is way beyond ridiculous.
