One can argue Floyd being approx #15th pretty easily via the defense, technical accuracy and ability to win. The best boxers in history begin at the "top 5" imo....with era and style being such huge variables......
Floyd in 2007-2010 would have beaten most of the other mentioned fighters...Hearns with the reach would have given Floyd problems-i can see Floyd losing that one, Duran would have gotten frazzled and sloppy- Sugar Ray had more power but he would have lost rounds so....its all in perspective at that level of elite to try and come up with a number rank.Comment

You weren't saying that before the fight genius lol fckin hilarious you are in hindsight trying to knock the Canelo win.This is where Floyd fans aren't quite understanding the term risk. Fighting Canelo at a CW isn't a risk, its to preserve a zero and give yourself the best chance to win. Canelo wasn't such a monster that SSM could fightt Canelo, so no bravery award is going to go to Floyd for fighting Canelo at a weight Floyd had a title.
Took such a dangerous fight? It was the correct fight for Floyd at that time, but dangerous isn't the word. Canelo was someone who hadn't really fought anyone, he struggled with Trout his best win at the time. Canelo was no monster. Floyd fighting canelo at a CW doesn't equal what SRL did against Hagler or Duran did to Barkley even.
You dumb fck did you know it was Canelo's team that proposed the catch weight?!Comment

If Castillo was able to whoop Floyd while he had been KO'd in 5 of his 6 losses Chavez Sr. would make him his b***h like his uncle but that fight would have never happened Floyd would have retired before they fought.Comment

But Floyd doesn't fight catch weights like Pac does remember??? He said Pac's victory over Cotto didn't count because it was a catch weight fight. Don't believe me??? Go to his post fight interview he did with HBO right after the Cotto fight. Doesn't work both ways.Comment

Oh, do you mean the same 'Jose Luis Castillo', who ranked Floyd in the Top 3 fighters of All Time? That Castillo?Comment
