From a pure boxing sense he is definitely up there, but overall as a fighter, he definitely comes up short.
As far as promotion, he has to go down as one of the best. He promoted himself very well from the Oscar fight onwards, became the villain and people wanted him to get knocked out (still do). I went to see him fight Ortiz and everyone around me had paid $1000 just to be there and see him lose live. They couldn't even name Ortiz's last 3 opponents.....

No.
The best way to know how good a fighter is is based on their performance against their best competition. Other fighters are just as dominant against better competition than Floyd has fought.

To judge greatness there are other criteria like greatness of opposition etc. I'm talking about all the things that encompass being a successful fighter. Things like:
.raw talent
.skill
.promotion and business sense
.making money
.self preservation and of course
.winning fights
I don't think anyone in history has been more successful at fighting. Discuss.
Please no nonsense (Yes I know there's going to be posts about "ducking" and other gay **** but even if that were true, it doesn't disprove my point of being a "successful fighter" as per the criteria above^^^)
in that case he is the greatest
