Whoever really thinks half of these guys belong in top 10 let alone the top 25 DKSAB... Mayweather is somewhere 15-20... most people don't have him top 10. He was very talented, but didn't fight the best of his era when they were the best. Don't talk to me about Marquez coming up two weight classes to fight him either - you come up 2 weight classes - expected to lose.
If Pac beats Spence (if they even fight) - then he has a claim for top 10. Beating Thurman bumped him up a bit but only 20-25. Monzon at 3? Arguably the greatest middleweight of all time (if not greatest, for sure top 3 without a doubt), but 3rd p4p all time? Laughable. It's Ray Robinson and Ali in top 2 spots then everyone else.
Having Oscar De La Hoya in top 10 is insanity - not even top 25. Holyfield & Patterson? FOH. Marciano in top 25? and below Patterson as a HW? smh Larry Holmes and James Toney? This entire list is a joke. It might be the worst p4p list I've ever seen, and that's including all of the casual boxing fans that try to make lists. This is supposed to be a legitimate boxing website. This list really shouldn't surprise me; their ratings have always been ****.Comment

Floyd s like a bad smell you cant get rid of he keeps rearing his head coming top of unimportant polls, espn best of last 25 years, boxrec.
But Floyd knows he's not top 20 in serious polls so let Floyd gloat here and have his day. You'd have no heart if you deny him thatComment

You realize Sugar Ray Robinson fought Joe Rindone like two weeks prior to Ralph Jones? After making 3 year comeback from his loss to Light Heavyweight champ Joey Maxim, Further historical reports mention Robinson was showing signs of wear vs. Jones, latter substantiated with his SD win over Johnny Lombardo -- which took place two months after facing Ralph Jones.
Please add context to what you speak on. Looking at numbers at Boxrec is a foolish method to assess a LEGEND.Comment

Only 50?? The quality of opponents is convincing enough, his resume shets on everyone else.Comment

Facts are not excuses, one has to take all things into consideration before judging.
By the time Robinson lost to Ralph Jones, Sugar Ray had over 130 professional fights! Lets see TBE Mayweather get there in only 12 round fights!!! His old ass is already washed!
You fail to understand that fighting as often as these oldschool boxers did wears the body and reflexes. Floyd wouldn't be the same fighter fighting every other month, in a time which you fought naturally bigger men because there were fewer weight division ; 140 was not even recognized when Robinson fought Jones!
Its not physically possible to take all that punishment. Mayweather would of had multiple L's as we even seen him struggle with brawlers.Comment

Unbeaten at the highest level a gifted master at hit and not be hit,,,,,,. Fanboys have no idea of the power thats inside of that realm, his realm is where boxing becomes art, and it takes knowledge of the sport to see even half of what Floyd does in such subtle ways, the idiots in here will never see how great he was at the CRAFT.
Boxing is a sport, its not a mace in the hand, its not guns at 40 paces, its a technical science blending skills with courage constantly testing your dedication to push yourself too be able to win a match against a guy the same size as you are.
Even on the other side of the argument as in entertainment he made the most money, so that has got to mean he created the most revenue, so he wins the entertainment race as well.
He conquered boxing in a way nobody else in history has, thats real , if you want to deny his accomplishments and greatness in boxing youre a first class fool riding with the lynch mob that are always the same group of empty heads hanging with empty heads.
Best ever, there is none, great great fighter you betcha !Comment
