    Top 40. He could break 30.

    He had the potential to make it to the top 10-20...

      I can get down with that. I got Top 30, right around there, for both he and Manny. If Manny were to beat Bradley and Floyd, he'd enter the Top 20 for me. And if Floyd were to beat Cotto and Pacquiao/Martinez, he'd enter the Top 20 for me as well.

        Fighter who has ducked the best in their prime, gone on vacations constantly, ducked the greatest fighter of our era, problems with the law several times, locked up in jail, CAUGHT (so its a fact) using xylocaine, RAN thru 80% of his fights, beat up the MOTHER of his kids, called his father a ****** on national tv and threatened to beat him up ... In all honesty, he simply can't be not even in the TOP 100. Only thing that kept floyd relevant was his mouth and that's a fact. There's no one who can dispute that.

          Haha I knew Bombs would be in here.

          Floyd didn't end up fighting Tszyu at 140 or Margarito at 147, oh well. Manny didn't end up fighting Raheem or Guzman at 130, oh well.

          Hopefully Manny and Floyd end up fighting each other, what a fight it would be hyped to be. It'd probably be upsetting in the end, a borderline boring fight most likely.

            Right on, but I think for whatever reason, Mayweather-Pacquiao isn't going to happen.

            If Floyd managed to emulate old man Hopkins and keep fighting until he's 50 I think he could still make it though, perhaps even the top 10?

              this is quite a difficult question... what do you think? with this resume of his on hand, do you think it is ATG material?

                IMO he ranks within 40 to 50 and is a shame because he could have cracked the top 20. Greatness is not defined by a flawless records. Greatness is defined by going against all odds and proving time after time. Floyd has done great things but not as consistent as the All-time Greats. His boxing ability was placed aside and replaced with his bank account. Who can blame him though? Has he accomplied great things? Yes, but has done so in a fashion which is not of character for a Great.

                  World Record in winning the most numbers of different weight Division Title;

                  World Record in the most numbers in defending successfully their title;

                  Been voted as FOTY; PFP; or even Fighter of the Decade;

                  Good Record in PPV;

                  Having that Charisma with Boxing Fans as well as, in Media and Business/Advertisement Companies;
