    Top 40. His competition hasn't been all that great so his 43-0 record dosn't mean that much to me

        I think seeing guys like Willie Pep and Pernell Whittaker getting increasing praise as time progresses is indicative that Floyd's style will be more appreciated over time and see him move up.

            i honestly think this guy has returned and increased his legacy 10 folds if he never fights again(which i think he should have 2 more fights)he has to be ranked up there with the past legends

              Dunno where, his record is impressive but against not the greatest of opponents. I still consider him highly because of the way he dominated most of his mediocre foes. Of the top of my head I would still have guys like Ali, Frazier, Louis, Foreman, Robinson, Leanord, Hearns, Hagler, Pryor, Duran, Whitaker, de la hoya, LaMotta, Basilio, Hopkins, Jones, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield ahead of him.

                WITHOUT CHECKING....

                Name all of Frazier's best wins. I will spot you ALI.

                GO!

                  How could you have Delahoya ahead of Floyd?

                  Floyd beat DLH when DLH was younger than Floyd is now.

                  DLH lost nearly every big fight he was in: Trinidad, Mosley 2x, Hopkins, Pacquiao...

                    Dunno about you but i really liked his fight with Quarry, was an absolute slufest. His victories over Chuvalo and Ellis are really impressive too, not to mention he took Ali to hell and back in all 3 fights. \
                    His 1 victory over ALI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anything on Floyds resume
