    well lets see that list man..how can you say a person ranks at a certain spot and get made when asked who ranks above him? list the fighters above him and then we can debate the list..simple request

AKA, you don't even know who those 19 are, you're just throwing out a number to be edgy and cool.

      Just my take. I wasn't following boxing in the 1900s-1950s so i'm out of place here among you fans who know of such fighters of the past. But in the end this is a discussion board and people will want you to elaborate on such claims, especially since it's hard to actually compile an ATG list because of the reason I gave I couldn't do it.
      So if I don't show my list on command that means I'm full of it? Gtfoh

      All i know if i was to take the time abdcmake an all time list and be fair with it. I know Floyd would come in around 20th and maybe worst.

      You know the significance of being top 20? That's ***ing amazing and even more amazing considering the era Floyd was in.

      So calm the *** down when trying to check me.

But most people are full of ****

        My pops is in his 60s, he's a hardcore boxing fan, more than me...like he watches little irrelevant fights, has a pic with Don King, another one with Joan Guzman, and another one with Duran. He has a gold chain he says he won by betting on Duran with a Mexican dude. My point is, my pops can only go back as far as the 1950s, VAGUELY (with no help of smartphones/computer). So how are these dudes my age gonna compile a list of 100 ATG's and know where to put Floyd???

        I just find it amusing.
        respect

          you already admitted you have no list..my point is about threads like this in general..HOW CAN YOU RANK A PERSON WITH NO LIST OR RESEARCH?

            Simple request huh?

            No offense but to be objective and true to the list takes time.

            So to ask for it on command is ****** as ***.

            If you dont want to take my word for him being 20th then so be it.

            But I know if i made a list and was objective Floyd may be worst than 20th.

            Why don't you tell me why he's not 20th?

              In no ranking order who would you consider better than Mayweather?

                So if i don't show a list right now then how can i say Floyd is 20th?

                It's because if i did take the time to do a list and was objective about it. 20th is the spot he would be in. Maybe worst.

                All I know is the era he fought in and his resume doesn't warrant him being higher.

                  Ballpark figure....maybe from the highest 20 but perhaps realistically around 30ish? Who knows really. For me, SKILLS-WISE he is probably one of the top 10 but accomplishment-wise and whom he faced, he is a great boxer of this era but at all-time probably 30s-to-40s - maybe even 50s.
