    He has beaten the absolute best at 130, the best guy at 135, 140 was kinda weak, dominated 147, and has beaten the best 3 guys at the time at 154, and has only had one tough fight vs Castillo... What he has done is amazing
    You don't need to tell me, SAA. I've been closely following Floyd's progress for many many years.

          Edit: Just saw Calzhage. Not a chance. Few good wins.Not enough to warrant top ten.
          Shane has no where near the wins that ward or froch have in the 2000s,, he beat oscar in 2000 and margs in 2009,,, got owned by Forrest twice, winky twice and lost to cotto, Floyd, manny, canelo.. Both froch and ward have a lot more top level wins

          Calzaghe would beat everyone not named manny, Floyd, prime Hopkins or jones

          He would shred winky or wlad or Shane IMO those guys wouldn't be able to deal with the volume of awkward punches

            Yeah since 2000s... Guys like oscar, Roy, Lennox weren't around long enough and did their best work in the 90s

              Good mention, he deserves a shout out but he was never in the mega fights, much like Ivan Calderon... Great fighters but you gotta be a superstar and feel the spotlight to be considered... Those guys never had the bright lights on them like a zarate, tapia, carbajal did... That's why I left them off.. But they do deserve an honorable mention

                  Absolutely right. I'm with you on that.

                    Good list but winky has to be on there,, his wins over Shane twice, and Tito, plus getting robbed with a draw vs Taylor, is better than cotto's win over Shane...

                      Hopkins and manny have both been dropped and manny iced, plus losing to guys like Taylor and morales,,,, Floyd would box circles around Taylor and morales,,,
