      Also I think he has beaten more world champs than any fighter in history. But I could be wrong on that.
      Nobody cares.

          I got no issue with that. Although I don't rank them as it is impossible, his name belongs as an ATG

            Boxrec currently has Floyd as the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time and the greatest welterweight of all time. I'm not sure if I agree with that but Floyd certainly has a case.

            I'd place Floyd as the third pound for pound best fighter in history, behind Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali and ahead of guys like Chavez, Holyfield, Foreman, Ray Leonard, and Roy Jones.

              Floyd had the potential to really be up there, but all the cherrypicking puts him levels below the Ali's.

                Agree with you for the most part except for Leonard. And I hate Ray more than I do Scared of Needles and Fishnets dela Blow.

                  All time P4P is a highly subjective ranking but really who can effectively argue against this? Floyd was extremely selective and cautious on his 2nd half of his career and took the very least risk for the highest reward every single fight for a decade but there's still something to be said for being undefeated against almost all world titlists. Floyd is definitely top 20 for me.

                    The reason why I place Floyd above Ray is because Ray's first loss came at the hands of a former lightweight champion who moved up two weight classes in Roberto Duran. That would be like Floyd losing to the former super bantamweight champion when Floyd was an undefeated super featherweight champion.

                    Pound for Pound is the argument about who is the greatest fighter regardless of weight class or what would happen if these guys were all the same size. Floyd never even came close to losing to a guy smaller than himself while Leonard lost twice to guys smaller than himself in Duran and Camacho.
