Anyone really believe Floyd is remotely close to being TBE ?

[DeadLikeMe]

Floyd is easily TBE, The Best of the Era.

Floyd may not have been involved in the best fights ever against great rivals but his skills and excellence in the ring is as good as it gets. His boxing ability is truly an Art , and his mental toughness ranks with the best of them. His flaw was his hands and punching power , because if his hands weren't so bad and it allowed him to hit harder he would have pretty much knocked out almost everyone he fought. But needless to say Floyd was pure excellence

I find pretty hard not to rank him among the best 15 or even 10 of all times, tbh.

His skills are just mind blowing. And his ring IQ is off the charts, the best ever seen imho.

Hes the best boxer ever, to never face a prime ATG

[djtmal]

You want to blame Floyd for decisions Manny made that caused the fight to be delayed.

Poor guy......

"TBDE"- The Best Draw EVER!

Floyd is tbe.... Much better than Pacquiao

The Greatest Fighter of the Generation - Manny Pac
The Best Fighter of the Generation - Floyd May

Manny was the people's champ for sure, but neither Floyd or Manny are realistically any better than Top 25 (which is still a great accomplishment)

Agreed but when ranking him you have to include his "hands" and he doesn't stand a chance versus ATG guys like Leonard, Hearns, etc. without any power

This isn't the right question to ask on these boards as they are full of Floyd haters/trolls. Floyd maybe the best pure boxer to ever enter the ring professionally. Does that mean the he's the greatest overall fighter ever? Can't say.
