    He has top 10 skills, but probably doesnt crack top 40 or 50 atg. Yes he has many accomplishments, jumping from class to class, but Floyd hasnt really beaten more than one or two opponents where you didnt think he was going to win going in.

      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
      kids lol your 23 steady your a wee bairn still

        I'm sure you're a big fan of SRR and Pep, a few two minutes youtube vids did the trick huh?
        This makes a lot of sense, i never liked the idea of ranking fighters from different eras, too much has changed: number of rounds, activity, diet, training methods, etc.

        Its like the P4P list it totally subjective, and can become a popularity contest, like some people will never rank the new fighters over the old skool and other will rank the new fighters far too high, you can make a list of great fighters but putting them in order, is just impossible.

          After that phenomenal performance against Mosley I have him locked in the top 20 ATG list. If he beats Pacquiao [If Pacquiao agrees to fight him], I will have him locked in the top 10 ATG list.

          Where do you guys have Floyd locked in the ATG list?
          Can I see your top 20 ATG list?

              I think he is easily top 50 now.

                  I like a Top 25 ranking in the 20-25 range. This dude needs to start getting some credit. Hes a special, special once in a lifetime talent.

                    he's not even a ATG.

                    He's a fraud and a joker


                    maybe just gets into the top 10,000 ATG

                      Yeah, to be fair he only really has three names that jump out at you in terms of historic significance on his ledger; De La Hoya, Marquez and Mosley. And a lot of people don't even like to acknowledge that the Marquez fight happened!
