no. the old school era is favored because the likes of leonard faced the benitezs, durans, haglers, and hearns' of the world. there's no guy on floyd's resume that's remotely close to being better than those guys i just mentioned.
i will say this though, i think floyd is the best boxer to ever (not the greatest. greatest implies achievements and he, as much as i appreciate him as a fighter, doesn't have the names on his resume to be compared to ali or leonard) lace them up, his prowess is up there with the leonard, robinson's, jones' etc. his athletic ability and his boxing brain are second to none.
