I'd say between 25-30

As long as Pacquiao, Morales, Marquez, or Barrera arent ranked ahead of him, rank Floyd anywhere.Comment

10-20.............Comment

Floyd will end his career as deserving to be top 10-15 if he beats Martinez and/or Canelo and MannyComment
-
In the 40s, Pacquiao ranks much higher.Comment
-
Hard to place within the top 20 considering most greats fought the greats of there time. had a lot of potential and upside but it never came to fruition. The kid could have done so much more.Comment

Boy Floyd is in the Top 100, no doubt!Comment

Top 100 MAYBE.Comment

Between 40-50 IMO.
Could be higher if he beats Pacquaio or/and Martinez but I can't see him ever getting into the Top 20 even with those wins.
Skill wise he's up there with the best ever, but his resume just isn't strong enough.Comment

I voted 6 - 10.
The reason is, I for starters look at ATG lists as more of P4P of all time rather than resume vs resume because that gets way too out of hand. It's too hard to compare resumes of different eras because the games changed too much over the years. Fights are less often but more boxers take the game more seriously and are closer to true athletes.
I think 6 - 10 is fair. I mean again, I don't tend to count boxers before the 60's because I wasn't around then and there is not much decent tape to watch and the games changed as I say. The oldies had poorer technique and the gloves they used were lighter. Even the gloves of the 70's were lighter when Leonard was fighting the were 6oz in Welterweight and 8oz at Middle. So you have to take into account that there is a slight advantage on looking flashier etc.
Anyway I put 6 - 10 because I'm hard pressed to think of many boxers P4P who give him trouble and his accolades are very underrated. People tend to look too much at his WW stats but they are still impressive, the guy is 35 and still at the highest level.Comment
