Maybe if he beats Alvarez then yeah. He's getting closer to SRR and honestly I do think he can surpass SRR depending on who he fights in the next 2 years. If he somehow someway beats Alvarez next and then Martinez and is still undefeated I'd have him tied with SRR. And if he beats Alvarez or Martinez and Pacquiao and is still undefeated I'd have him ahead of SRR. I don't think he will remain undefeated though, someone is going to beat him but you can't say he's not the best ever if he beats Pacquiao and Martinez and is still undefeated.
You say you can name 20-25 fighters better than Floyd right now on resume? You are saying if he beats Pacaquiao and Martinez he's not in your top 5? You can name 5 fighters who retired undefeated and beat all the best fighters in all the best weight classes? Only SRR could do that and SRR eventually was defeated.
He can only be given a ranking when he does the right thing, same goes for his little Japanese buddy.
My top 10. 1. Benny Leonard. Most complete boxer ever 7 year+ regin as lightweight champion in a great lightweight era. 2. Ray Leonard. Short career, but packed with great wins 3. Pernell Whitaker. He might be the best "boxer" ever. 4. Ray Robinson. Probbly the best "fighter" ever. 5. Ezzard Charles. In the modern era he probbly would have won Middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and cuiuserweight championships. Had it not been for his winning the heavyweight championship it would have been Ezzard Charles and the Black Murders Row not Charley Burley. 6. Joe Louis. Underrated in the skills department. Longest reign for any champion. 7. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Second most complete boxer ever. 10 years + as a champion. 8. Charley Burley. A great boxer who came around at the wrong time. Not the only one. Bested a lot of very good boxers. 9. Barney Ross. Held 3 championships (lightweight, Jr. Welterweight & welterweight) before future conquer Henery Armstrong did. Winning 2/3 from Jimmy McLarnin and Tony Canzoneri help put him here. 10. Ricardo Lopez. Third most complete boxer of all time. I have Mayweather at #7. When comparing abillity Championship resume as in championships won and defenses of championship(s). He also dose not have any losses that he shouldn't have. That can't be said of everyone on my list including some ranked higher. Unless he makes a move to 160 and is secsfull there. I don't see him being ratted higher.
Damn, the mosted hated boxer and hated athlete is getting top numbers over the most liked boxer and liked athlete.
top 20 for me if he retired today. If he finishes his career strong with a few more career defining fights he will find his way to my top 10
