    Floyd dominated boxing for two decades, few in history can say that.
    all you have to do is hold both guys to the same standards. im not sure why floyd has a special no scrutiny shield on him. does he have even one win as good as leonard over benitez, duran, hearns, or hagler? imo no none of his wins are as good as those 4 so im not sure how you can put floyd aboe him simply because he didn't lose against lesser comp or beat more b level fighters. and you can do that same scrutiny to many other fighters and you will see that floyd does not match them. he tops guys like calzaghe and vitaly for sure but it seems like he gets extra "unknown" points because of the fights that didnt happen. i like to judge based on the fights that did so i cant possibly put him above guys with great wins simply because he has more good wins.

              Does he have even one win as good as Roy Jones Junior in beating Toney and Hopkins. IMO at his peak Roy was more dominant. Roy should have retired after the Ruiz fight.
