      Floyd has a case for the 00's
      What about decades that had half a dozen better fighters than other decades?

          Someone pointed earlier that this kind of points to the fact that although many have made a case that history will not remember Floyd well this list appears to say the opposite. Notice that Floyd also had the 3rd highest number of votes for number 1. Interesting stuff.

            cosign this x1000

            That's the only way they should be done in my opinion.

              How is Floyd ranked ahead of Pacquiao, BHop and RJJ?

              Oh he has a fight this weekend and its a fan poll. Got it.

                  A couple of years ago Pacquiao was voted #2, whoever is at the top of the sport at the moment a poll is made will generally be pushed higher up than they should be.

                    I think if you are going to criticise it, post your own.
