But I find it hard to quantify fighters before my time. I just don’t know enough, especially on opponents faced. Who’s ur top ten? I’m impressed u took the effort to compile a long list. It’s all up for debate.
    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Henry Armstrong
    3. Muhammad Ali
    4. Roberto Duran
    5. Joe Louis
    6. Sugar Ray Leonard
    7. Sam Langford
    8. Willie Pep
    9. Sandy Saddler
    10. Harry Greb/Gene Tunney

    I could see Ruben Olivares sliding into 10 due to the competition he defeated And Joe Gans for the sheer domination he had to the point he could fight 3 fights in 1 night!

    It’s very tough but like I said likely when Canelo and Pacquiao retires, I will likely boost Floyd higher!

    People just don’t comprehend when they see a once in a lifetime fighter like Floyd!

    The marksmanship, speed, footwork, balance, counters for counters, counter traps, inside and outside boxing and his ability to adjust what’s in front of him!

    I think his best attribute has to be his ring IQ!

        Good list. I’m a big Floyd fan. Saw him turn pro, and at one point early in his career we called him “The last of the undefeated”. My brothers and I were lucky enough to take my dad to Floyd vs Judah. Everyone says he was better than they expected. One of my favourite quotes is “I damn near feel every punch coming”. I loved watching him work. He was all wrong for everyone. His lead right...

          Thanks, I try to have my list a mix of nuance and balances but quality nonetheless and a lil bit of performance driven!

          Yes, watching Floyd fight live is a marvel in itself!

          I remember watching the Mosley fight, that second round will go down in history as the closest Floyd legitimately was going to have his back on the canvass!

          Mosley got too excited for a very small window of opportunity!

          I was really thinking Mosley was gonna finish Floyd as he was a great finisher but that fight showed me along with Floyd’s ring IQ is his bread butter the lead right and so many different ways he uses it to set up his other puncher or used it to set up traps!

          Loved the lead right hand pull counter he caught Shane with when Shane tried to counter with the left hook after hitting Floyd with the jab!

          Just beautiful boxing, would love for someone to interview Floyd on how his mind works in the ring while watching his fights with him, think a Stuart Scott(Rest in Peace) would’ve done it incredibly!

          There’s a reason I called him Sage Mode Mayweather sometimes!

            Yeah Mosely got a couple real shots on him that round. I was impressed how Mayweather survived and clinched considering he wasent used to that. Kudos to Mosley but it wasent close after that. Not many remember but it’s on YouTube, Canelo vs Jose Cotto first round was the hardest Canelo was rocked. Worth a look. One HW who may not have the best resume but I think would be a match for anyone is Vitali Klitschko. He could put in on you.

              And he fought PAC way past his prime.

              Floyd, is just not the greatest.
              I know it’s hard for you f l 0 m 0z to accept it but, accept it.
              LOL dumbass. Since when is 23 "way before a fighters prime?" You do know that Tyson, De La Hoya, Ali, and Sugar ray Leonard were all considered prime at 23? The same age Canelo was when he got schooled by Floyd.

              And Pacquiao is still winning championship fights years after losing to Floyd. So he couldn't have been over the hill when Floyd beat him.

                No. You do not have permission to re-define the expression. I just rewatched Mosley v Margarito last night. That was an ass whipping that you may wish to view for reference.

                Floyd Mayweather outpointed a FOTD in unspectacular fashion is about the best that I can concede.

                    Who Tf Cares?! it makes no sense how many of you grown ass men can have so much hate for this guy. Canelo will never be mayweather, never will be on the same level, you shouldnt even mention those names together in the same sentence.
