    Fighter = Erik Morales, Manny Pacquiao, Edwin Valero
    Boxer = Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr. Pernell Whitaker

    Floyd is the best. There are fighters more exciting than him, but not any that are better in this era. He's the man.

    I think Crawford or Lomachenko will be next though! :)

    PBF is the best fighter of this era and arguably the best fighter since SRL with Pea Whitaker giving him a run for his money.:deal

    Floyd, it's not even arguable.

    As far as I'm concerned it's RJJ. His win over Ruiz (giving up about 30lbs) Hopkins and Toney, beats anything Floyd's done.

    Floyd might be the closest thing to a Sugar Ray Robinson in the modern day era.

    The Oxford Dictionary definition of a fighter:

    "A person who does not easily admit defeat in spite of difficulties or opposition"

    It's irrefutable that Floyd is the closest thing to SRR in the modern day era. :nod

    Floyds won belts at 6 different weight classes.

    Has gone 20 years undefeated.

    Spent the longest time on the P4p list, and at number 1 as well.

    Beat HOF fighters Marquez, cotto, mosely, de la Hoya, pacqiauo, and Hatton. Not sure if anybody considers corrales Castillo as hof worthy.

    Id say Floyds achievements are at least equal to Roys if not more.

    Floyd's only won titles in 5 weight classes. SFW, LW, JWW, WW, and JMW.

    Roy was the first fighter since Bob Fitzsimmons to win titles from MW all the way up to HW. He has wins over Hill, Hopkins, and Toney.
