He's the greatest fighter of his generation, and his resume is absolutely insane.
Has he done enough to be considered a top 30 ATG?
Not after the Lopez debacle. His biggest wins had flown high in the hardcore boxing spheres, but definitely under the radar in terms of crossing over into main****** sports. He had his chance to do that against Teofimo, and blew it. Top 75 all-time at this point...maybe.
I dont think any historian would agree with you on that man...Floyd is clearly top 30 easily
Quite a few would. It's not really important to me if they do or don't because the P4P rankings are opinion based. Some lend more value in resume, while others more value in quality of wins, challenges they faced, fighting styles and overall skill, etc. This is why these lists are controversial, there is no hard criteria that everyone must follow. They are subjective.
Thomas Hearns knocked out Duran, yet most historians rank Duran higher on the P4P ATG list.
