skills wise hes #1 to me.. meaning if i had a son that got into boxing i would want him to master floyds style. the greatest defense ever, the most accurate, the sharpest boxing IQ..etc.. but accomplishment wise sugar ray robinson is #1. he was fighter of the decade twice. thats crazy.

He was a great fighter. I never do ATG lists for boxing. Boxing has been around too long and there's too many great fighters in different eras.

Pretty good discussion here that didn't devolve into a hand full of his haters reinventing history.
Consensus seems to be top 10 for sure. Top 5 maybe.
For me he's tied with SRR at the top. My whole reason for judging him the way I do is that I do not hold him to a different standard than any other fighter and because of that he's at the top for fighting all the key guys near his weight from his era and beating them all, as well as going 50-0 with really only 2 close fights. Only having 2 close fights is his biggest achievement IMO. I don't think people realize how hard it is not to run into the wrong match up when you start fighting champions like Mayweather did so soon in his career.
