      Floyd would drop on my list too below Mosley, Holyfield, and Toney because he never fought any challenges fight of which he could lose. In order to be the best you have to beat the best.
      You ever heard of Diego Corralles? Ganero Hernandez? Jose Luis Castillo? Oscar De LeHoya?

      If not, google them.

        Oscar was pretty much shot as we saw in his next two fights. Also may he RIP, but Coralles is not a world beater.

          never saw anything special in corralles(R.I.P), just seemed like a brawler that could EASILY be outboxed by a boxer, surely floyd was the favourite?

          noticed floyd likes to fight brawlers alot too

              Oscar was shot against Floyd? Anyone who watched that fight would not say that. Oscar lost 8-4/9-3 IMO but he held his own against the best fighter in the world.

              Corralles is a hall of famer and was a GREAT win for Floyd. Your sleeping on Corralles.

                  Theres no reason to **** on Floyds resume, especially now being he is 32.

                  I have a problem with ****ting on Roys resume to UP Floyds.

                  And I stand by what I say, beating the best fighter in the division is better than beating the lineal titlist.

                  They both have their accolades.

                  Floyd has 6 titles in 5 divisions.

                  Roy has four divisions, he's also a 3 time LHW champion... he also set a record going from having a MW title to a heavyweight title... then he REGAINED the LHW title after winning a HW title which is another record.

                  They both have their own seperate accolades.

                      I think lots of people overlook Norris on these types of list because he never moved up in weight for a challenge. Just a hunch. I wouldnt put him on this list because he got KO'd badly twice in his primer. Once to Julian Jackson(never avenged) and another time to Simon Brown. Also, when Norris was about to get the super fight he lacked against Trinidad, he lost decisively to Keith Mullins. Norris was a flame that burned out very early when you look at his age at the time. He could replace Forrest on the list though.
