      skill wise or career wise? He has an ATG skill set & ran through the lower weight classes but his campaign at 147 leaves a bit to be desired. I think his talent is top 20 all time, if his hands weren't brittle and he could really crack it would be higher. If he had stayed at 140, none of those guys there now would be mentioned, except as hopeless opponents; at 147+ size comes into play a bit more & Floyd still comes in fight night at a lower weight than most welters these days. Size, plus bad hands makes for a very specialized sort of fight you have to fight & he's the best I've ever seen at that. All said I think he gives anyone considered top 10 all time welters hell and probably beats half of them.

          I agree with Bert Sugar's ranking of him.

              Really so low... you have more boxing knowledge then me about the history of the sport and how they rank up... if there were really 50 better fighters then Floyd... I want to see them *looooooooooooooooool*

              Do you rate him like that right now or even let's say May-Mosley and May-Pac happens and he wins both or would it change it big time?

              What the Great A has to say about May... I'm interested *loooooooooool*

                  That is where I had him when he retired... And, coming back to beat JMM really ddin't do nothing for me... I rank Floyd ahead of Roy Jones all time... I can not put him ahead of fighters like **** Tiger, Abe Attell, George Dixon, Ike Williams, Bob Fitzsimmons, I would not even have Michael Spinks... A win over Shane Mosley will change that though... A convincing win over Mosley and Pac then he does a big jump in my rankings

                    I mean well... it's still good I mean... top 60...

                    So basically what's missing for you is also big name value?
