    So the dust has settled and with not much competition out their for Floyd Mayweather where does he seriously stand in the ATG ranks?

    For me id have him in the top 10-20 range at this present time, where do most you guys place him

    Not much competition? Amir Khan, the guy Floyd is avoiding.

    I'd put Floyd top 20 though

    How many of us stating Manny and Floyd should be top 20 know enough about boxing all the way back to when the rules changed to gloved bouts, to really say how they compare to past greats.

    I know enough to say they don't crack Top 10.

    They could have...but their career paths just didn't head in the perfect direction for it to happen.

    It's going to be harder for fighters to get up there these days with more and more fighters dropping down to 2 fights year rather quickly in their careers.

    Barely in the top 50.

    People forget that there has been so many great boxers throughout history already.

    It'll be easier to evaluate Mayweather's and Pacquaio's legacy and rankings when they are retired for a few years. As it is I think both are top 30 at least, although I'd have to revise some of the older fighters if I was doing up a proper ATG list.

    He's secured his ATG status for me now.

    Well for starters Tyson isn't on my top 10 HW list, let alone all-time P4P.
