    Floyd may surpass him, but he hasn't yet.

    Ray fought in an unbelievable era of 147-160lb stars & was highly successful.

    do you think ray could handle nard or jones at 160???

      Of the guys I've seen live on TV (i.e. no highlight reels):

      Prime Roy Jones Jr
      Followed closely by SRL, Sweet Pea, Duran, Floyd Jr.
      In turn followed by many fighters including Toney, Hearns, Hagler, Hopkins, and maybe JCC and ODLH.
      Then a list of heavies - Prime Tyson, Prime LL, Foreman I, Ali (who would've been higher if I'd seen him in his prime)

      I'm 43.

        The best heavyweight I've seen on TV of my era is Mike Tyson (85-88) by far.

          Possibly.

          Ray was the master at discovering a weakness & exploiting it.

          I'd make hem favorites over him, but not overwhelming ones.

            The best non-heavies I've seen on TV of my era are:

            Pernell Whitaker, Michael Nunn (85-88), Nigel Benn at his best, Chris Eubank at his best, and probably a young Shane Mosley.

                      Ali was the best I ever saw and I got to see him on free TV every other month! I'm 41
                      Duran, Leonard, Hagler , Hearns, Holmes, Foreman, Frazier.. all for free That loyal audience of home viewers made all of them superstars the likes of which the current era cannot hope to produce.
