Pernell's and Benitez's defense was more impressive IMO. They were able to skip and slide wide open on the inside and in mid range. Floyd is more of a stay in mid range type of defensive fighter. Like ray Leonard. Ray was a great defensive fighter, but usually stayed in a safer zone that was harder to reach him like Floyd does. Floyd has the luxury of having freakishly long arms for his weight class.Comment

If you wanna be completely honest, Floyd completely changed the boxing game at the highest level. He might be the only ATG in history to never have to fight another ATG in their prime, and another HOF or elite caliber fighter in their prime, and didn't even care to prove himself on that level.
Even the biggest money makers fought a who's who of elite fighters in their prime, and other fighters to prove themselves. Floyd might be the first boxer in history to literally not give a crap about himself on that level against another ATG/HOF caliber fighter that was a rival, adnd in their absolutely prime.
Hell, Oscar fought Shane Mosley at his absolute peak when he was a monster. And his resume goes on and on. Floyd just didn't feel the need to do that. He's still a great fighter, and there's no denying that, but way too many things in his favor during negotiations for his big fights. Just can't put him up there with the absolute best like the sugar Ray, Duran, and Ali's. He's definitely top 20ish.Comment
