Where does Floyd rank all time?

Seriously though, Gannicus... please respond.

 

getting manhandled and rope a doping all night isn't winning clearly my man.

 

No Holyfield or Marciano? Ketchell, Moore, Dempsey or Frazier?

 

Hopkins went undefeated for 10 years. Try Mayweather undefeated for 19. Not knocking Pacquiao's resume, but clearly you are missing the Mayweather beat Pacquiao. Mayweather also beat JMM

 

A Manny that he should have fought 5 years prior.

JMM? Really? A man dragged up in two weight-classes and he still couldn't put him away? Was a farce of a fight.

 

Pac & Arum were the ones who walked away from the fight 5 years ago.

 

Top 20 seems about right.

He has a lot of good things going for him resume wise. He has close to 10 wins over Hall of fame bound fighters, he's the lineal champion in 2 divisions simultaneously, he's fought and won titles in 5 weight divisions with a record tying 4 lineal championships (2 of the original 8 classes if comparing to the old time guys.)

He also is widely considered the best fighter in one weight class (at SFW,) and has beaten the other great fighter of his era.

His longevity is what seals the deal for me. He won a fighter of the year award back in 1998 and in 2013. He's been universally considered a top 10 pound for pound guy for about 17 years now with most of those years as the # 1 ranked fighter in the entire sport.

 

Mayweather would have beat him 5 years prior, 10 years prior, 10 years later. It doesn't matter he has always been, and will always be better, and yes, the JMM, the same guy who would 2 years later spark Pacquiao. And get over that dragged him up **** the fight was at only 7 pounds higher than JMM''s last fighy

 

The same JMM that looked like The Incredible Hulk when he met Manny, but looked like a fat mess when he fought Floyd? Yeah, THAT JMM. :roll:

 

It's clear you don't like Floyd. I get it bro, but Hopkins and Pac are not rated higher than Floyd.

 

The same JMM who arguably won all 4 fights against Pac. Yep, that guy

 

Having JMM, Barrera and Morales on your list, when they were terrors at the weight Manny beat them at is A LOT better than having a...

Blown up Hatton
Drained Canelo
Blown up JMM

On there.

 

You seem to clearly be missing the point so I'll spell it out for you. M A Y W E A T H E R B E A T P A C Q U I A O

 

Wow.

Some people are really angry at Floyd. I can imagine a few keyboards were damaged in writing those posts.

Floyd is an exceptional fighter, I'd rank him in the top 25. The guy is an absolute genius inside the ring, his generalship and positioning are superb, just watch the little techniques he uses to disarm his opponents. Fighters with high work rates, methodical fighters all come up way short. He has decent punching power, great defence and an excellent chin. The way Mosley hit him and nearly took him out on two occasions only to come back and dominate not only the rest of that same round but the whole fight. This is the same Shane who bullied the MARGARITO who floyd apparently ducked. He had absolutely nothing to offer, look how cotto out boxed Antonio for 9 rounds in their first fight and looked excellent in doing so. What would a prime conditioned fighter like money have done. Floyd has a dog on him but it only comes out when need be.

 

You do know Morales beat him, then Morales got dominated by a c+ fighter for 12 rounds and was dead at the weight facing Manny again.
