Basilio, Duran, Whitaker, Hearns, Trinidad, Griffith, Armstrong, Walker? Should he be mentioned in the same breath as these guys if he retired TODAY?
Where do you rank Floyd amongst these Past fighters @ WW?

Its kinda a weird question because his best weight clearly isnt WW, but thats the case for most of those guys on your list. I wouldnt put him in the same group as Hearns & Walker at WW. I might wouldnt put him in the same group as Tito in terms of accomplishments at the weight although I think he could beat Tito. I would put him in the group with the other guys at that weight thoughComment

Never expected Floyd to rank highly among the ATG WWs when he entered the division, but he's definitely had a pretty good run nonetheless.Comment

WW isn't Floyd's best weight, but his body of work and ultimately the public recognition (this actually counts) means that YES he is prob ranked in with guys like this. At the same time though it's important to recognise that he is ranked in the pack at 147, but not at the top.Comment
