    Let's not get carried away here....can you honestly compile a respectable top 50 list of the best fighters of all time?...or did you start watching boxing in 2005?

      No one denies Floyd's talents, but his resume just doesn't make him a top 20 fighter of all-time.

      The gulf in resume between the likes of Robinson, Armstrong, Pep etc etc to Floyd..... is so vast that claiming Floyd is a top 20 ATG is IMO laughable.

      Claiming greatness based on conjecture as Fans of Floyd will do just doesn't cut it.

            Sergio or P-will will be the middle weight champion depending on if they have a rematch soon.

            So going from being a lineal champ at 130 to a lineal champ at middle weight is something that is unprecedented, please use your brain next time you try to clown someone!!!

              Someone we've never actually seen fight. Don't know exactly how good he or his competition was, how level of condition or technical prowess, etc. Same goes for Robinson and Armstrong, which is why Ali is #1 on my all time list. It's like arguing Jesse Owens was a superior sprinter to Usain Bolt.

                some of the kids on here don't even know what SRR and Willie Pep look like...yet they want to claim Floyd is top 20 of all time? It's laughable and this is coming from a huge Floyd fan....some people need to stick to ranking fighters in the eras they witnessed only

                      have you done the proper research to claim that? It's you opinion and your entitled to it, but can you compile a respectable top 50 greatest fighters of all time list? If not, I would suggest you stick to ranking fighters in the era YOU witnessed

                      I'm sure you're a big fan of SRR and Pep, a few two minutes youtube vids did the trick huh?
