        How many fighters on your top 10 list has won titles in 6 weight classes? You said he needs to beat Martinez to be top. 10? Lol how many hall of famers has sergio beat?

          PAC is the only guy on that lists of yours that is a sure fire HOFer ....Canelos only HOF win came 7 days ago vs a washed up Mosley....saying Floyd needs to beat khan, Canelo and Martinez is hilarious.

          Especially Canelo because numerous people think that fight is a mismatch and Canelo isn't ready

            Don't think he can do anything at this point to reach top 10.

            Decisive Wins over Pac & Martinez would greatly boost his legacy, though

              Idk right now...I'd have to think about it. A lot of older fighters nobody has seen footage of and base their lists off that unseen footage....I know in regards to skill out of the old school fighters I've been able to see, mayweatheR is no doubt top 10 skill wise.....to say he isnt is absurd....

              I mean Laila Ali even said mayweather has Better all around skills than her father....

                Ray Robinson signed up to fight Cocoa Kid and didn't turn up, twice.

                Is he a Top 10 fighter?
                At age 32 Ray Robinson lost every round of a 10 round fight to a journeyman fighter named Ralph Jones and even though he fought for another 15 years he never fought Jones again.Even the young Robinson had 2 draws and numerous split decision wins that were not popular with the fans. He fought some guys he had already KOed 3 or 4 times. He sometimes went over a year without defending his tittle. He would sometimes have 10 to 15 non tittle fights between tittle defenses. Yet the oldtimers have so solidly established him as the #1 pound for pound of all time that anyone that disputes his #1 spot is going to piss off alot of people.

                  There not ATGs but there are the best available.

                  It would be nice if Floyd started taking on the best available for a change.

                  When you look at the top ten ATGs.

                  Floyd record doesn't even come close, it is poor in comparison.

                  He needs to beat the guys on my list to even stand a chance.
