    Neither is FLoyd.

    ATG's can be listed.. how big is the list.

    Top 100ATGs?

    Top 50 ATGs?

    Top 20 ATGs?
    I said the same thing to be honest even though I'm a big Floyd fan. I would probaly put him and Manny somewhere between 20-35. I just respect the old school fighters way more.

        he's 30 now(just my imo)he beats those 3 15-20.

        but it's just hard to rank fighters of today over guys that were fighting 15 rounds and a lot more than fighters of today.

          I don't think Pac/Floyd are top 10 right now either but I'm saying if they are both considered top 10 by the end of their careers, and Floyd beats Pac or vice versa then that will be a big boost to the other guy's ATG ranking because it will be recorded in history that he beat another top 10 ATG whereas most other guys on the ATG list have never even faced a top 10 ATG let alone beat one.

            The reason is simple:

            no one else on the ATG list including Sugar Ray Robinson has faced and beaten an opponent also ranked in the top ATG list.

            Who did Sugar Ray Robinson beat that was ranked in top 5 or even top 10 ATG? Maybe I'm missing someone but Lamotta sure as hell isn't in the top 10 probably barely edges out the top 50..
            I know someone probably already posted this but you are an idiot.

            SRR beat the #3 greatest fighter of all time, yeah he was old, but #3 none the less.

              He was top 50 on ESPN's list in 2005.

                Out of his prime but he beat a possible top 3 ATG in Henry Armstrong.

                  Beating Pac and Martinez for the MW title of the world puts him in the top 15-20 area. You really have to give that list a look. Top 20 are ALL UNBELIEVABLE FIGHTERS. Every last one of them is unbelievable. It says something to even be mentioned in that list.

                    Floyd is no where near the top 10 GOAT. I seriously think you guys are getting abit carried away here. Neither Pac & Floyd hit the top 20.

                      So beating 3 fighters makes him surpass 30 atg fighters.. in just 3 fights...
