    Duran is higher, and I really wish people would stop bringing up Floyd and Manny in ATG lists until they retire.

        This is a dumb poll but a good way for the mods to decide who should get banned and who shouldn't.

          That's even more laughable than picking Floyd over Duran all time

          What was your previous username?

          Sorry, but he is correct. Me personally, I think it's silly to make the comparisons because of the difference in eras and time.

          But you cannot say that Floyd didn't fight bigger fighters. For most of his career, he's fought bigger guys. Many of the guys he's fought have outweighed him by as much as 10+ lbs. And that's fact, not fiction.

                  Yup, and even then there is a huge gap between the top 5 and 6-10 fighters ever.

                  Imagine, Charles, Armstrong, Robinson, etc. vs Ali, Duran, Moore

                  No shame in this of course, but there is quite a gap between the sections.

                    Floyd's on his health first route and won't fight anyone worth a damn. The ones that are actual threats, he just chooses to duck them.
                    great post. Duran it is...

                      what do you mean. all those fighters you just named are all among the very greatest ever... all those guys u named are in that level i said, the very top of the sports history. mythical status but u know what im saying

                      i dont think a huge gap can exist between fighters that great. how could u say something like ali is far greater then say henry armstrong... u just dont say those kinda things
