Floyd is top 10 all time in terms of pure skill.

[dan_cov]

Yeah I'd agree, he may even be higher.
He may even be #1 if he isn't he is certainly close.

Henry Armstrong? Muhammad Ali? Come on man.

[LacedUp]

What!

1. SRR

2. Ali

3. Duran

4. Sugar Ray L

5. Henry Armstrong

No way is Floyd more skilled than those 5.

lol this one is a funny.

talking about fighters you've never even seen

[hugh grant]

Need to stop talking about a guy who's hovering around top 30 all time and retired

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Fair point.

Swap him for Willie Pep, I think he was more skilled.

Pep is definitely in that conversation. So is Benny Leonard. I’d have them two along with Mayweather and the two Sugar Ray’s in my personal top 5. Sweet Pea deserves an honourable mention too.

[GhostofDempsey]

Disagree...

[Gamer30168]

I'll buy that. His defensive wizardry places him in the top 10 for skill level

Is that your argument for saying Floyd is better in terms of overall skill than them?!

[abracada]

Yeah I'd agree, he may even be higher.

Henry Armstrong? Muhammad Ali? Come on man.

Let’s be real, a prime Mosley would have put Mayweather to sleep.

[Marchegiano]

Pure skill? Yeah, he's walked fools down, he's been untouchable, and everything in between. Floyd's list of champions and former champions is massive. Dude really has nothing to prove anymore. People who hate are going to no matter what he does.

I rate Floyd p4p GOAT and while plenty here will scoff and bring up some old ****er none of them ****s are ever in history section so that alone ought to cue you in on how knowledgeable and interested they are in the historical figures they claim are better than Floyd.

No i think his performances in the ring prove that. But I do find it funny that someone would say people like SRR or Henry armstrong has better skills when you haven't even seen them fight.

but each to their own
