    i can't stand the guy and am not a big fan of his style but i would have to say top 20-25 based on skill basing off his resume and habit of cherry picking, avoiding fighting guys outside their prime/weight he would still be top 50.

    The question is asked in the present tense though - and, at present, Floyd is the guy everyone wants to fight.

    It doesn't say 'Boxers who did not want to fight Floyd?'

    Funny think about FLoyd is that I think you argue a fairly wide range of where he should be ranked, anywhere from 30-50 can be argued. He's somewhere in this vicinity.

    I still say he should fight Martinez at 157 Lbs. instead of fighting guys who recently fought at 135 and 140 Lbs. As for Martinez? He's never getting a fight with Floyd so he should push for a major payday vs. Ward at 164 Lbs. I know, none of this is gonna happen... would be nice though.

    Would need to beat a prime fellow elite fighter to be considered in the top 80. A win over one of these might do that.

    Old Pac-Man. Even though that fight no longer is worthy of the hype with Manny bordeline shot it would still be good to see. Floyd's only significant fights have been against old past it fighters so it could happen.

    GGG. No explanation needed here.

    And that's about it really. There's no one else worth fighting down there. I suspect he'll fight yet another no hoper bum like Khan though.

    All manny had to do was take the test. Floyd agreed to everything in 2009, did Manny?

    You guys keep forgetting the whole quote with Margo: "KEEP WINNING and you will get your shot."

    Somewhere between 30 and 40 for me, which is still quite good.
    Could have been a lot better though but he made a clear decision to focus on money over legacy.

    I don't love Floyd. If he fights guys with losing records for the rest of his career it won't change my life one bit. I enjoy watching him fight. His craft and skills, to me, are quite enjoyable. But again, what he does with his life doesn't effect me at all. Why does it effect you? Why do you feel the need to make multiple posts daily about him? Why lower yourself to *****/******* standards? No personal life? No life outside the internet? I don't want to make assumptions, but it's quite obvious that's a part of it. Either way, carry on. What gets posted on this board doesn't effect me in the slightest so if you love posting about someone you hate, please continue to do so.

    ass to mouth?

    Floyd is a great fighter but not the best ever. When he fought a top guy they were either past prime, green, too small, or not all that good to begin with... or a combination of these things. Not always Floyds fault, but he could have made some of the fights happen when they would have meant more, plus he could have made some of the fights happen that never did.

    H2H greatness? How does he do vs. guys like Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Henry Armstrong, Pernell Whitaker, Julio Cesar Chavez, Azumah Nelson, Wilfred Benitez, Aaron Pryor, Roberto Duran, Alexis Arguello, Felix Trinidad, Hector Camacho, or prime versions of Oscar DeLaHoya and Shane Mosley? I'm sure he'd lose to at least a few of these guys... the same can be said for almost any fighter who fought in these weight classes though.
