    Arguably, Roy briefly reached a higher peak, and Pac has been in more great, memorable fights.
    But on balance, considering his longevity and consistency, Floyd is number 1.

    He is not even close to Jones.
    Wait until he phases out some more. He will be forgotten about pretty easily. Its not like his fights were remotely exciting and fans in 10 years will definitely not be watching those sparring matches on youtube or anywhere else. They will tune in for a few seconds and be like "what was the big deal". And once that happens they will never try to watch a fight of his again.

    Well deserved, it should be last 80 years though, but good enough

    Nope. He dominates every time he steps between the ropes.

    Floyd avoided the best after the near Jose Luis "El Temible" Castillo disaster.

    It is my opinion that this fight changed him as a fighter. He no longer desired to prove his greatness, instead he decided to protect his precious 0 at all costs, including avoiding the toughest challenges and resorting to a very negative style of boxing using his pot-shotting amateur style.

    Lost to Castillo, Maidana, and Pacquiao. Vacations, draining Canelo, cheating Marquez, sucker punching Victor, refusing to let Marcos wear his gloves, and he turned out to be a dirty doping cheat. Dude is a fraud.
