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

[blowblow]

pure skills in terms of ducking, cherrypicking and timing (waiting for competition to gets old).

[Pac=Duran]

Agree or disagree?

In terms of pure skills he's probably top 5-6. Pernell, Duran, Ray Leonard, Hearns, Nicolino Locchi and Floyd.

Cant think of anyone more skilful than those.

he was in the top 10 most boring fighters ive ever seen thats for sure, he could put a glass eye to sleep

he has 100 million Knockout records in his career. he put all of his audience around the world to sleep literally.

[Willy Wanker]

He's up there for sure. I don't pretend to be a historian, but it's not hard to rank Floyd #1 in pure skill in his era. So top 10 of all-time really isn't too much of a stretch.

I'm not a Floyd at all and I think he's an annoying POS, but can't deny his talent and greatness and what he's accomplished in the sport.

Easily.

I have him at least in top 3. That is mainly because there is no true way on how to compare to fighters from the way back era when things where black and white because they did not have access to the refined fundamentals.

As far as the modern era goes from the 70's and onward I would personally have him #1.

Sure his offense did not looks as spectacular or his defense did not look as flashy. But for me, as a spectator who was competed as a youth for years. I see someone who has everything so refined that it looks like they are in cruise control. He had so many world class boxers hesitant and unsure of what to do because he knew exactly what to do 99% of the time.

Does this make him unbeatable? No. But as far as skill goes and what Mayweather brought to the table. Ain't no one a sure bet against anyone in history 147 and below.

[SkillspayBills]

Floyd is top 10 PERIOD. In terms of skill he is number 1

[just the facts]

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

If Floyd's around top 30, the Mannys about 40th?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Pure skill? Yeah, he is somewhere there. His skills were near perfect.

- -Be a no account ham and Egger in the 20s - 70s.

No credit for cowering in fear on the ropes vs a stronger fighter.

No hometown ref and judges.

Seen him get beat up to many times.
