    I think he's a pretty low human being, but as a boxer I think he's an ATG.

    arguably best of the 21st century so far, so yeh ATG for sure.

    challengers to that? ward if he comes back and does what he is inferring. pacman perhaps. who else is there.

    scummy man though for wifebeating/cheating, and wierd personality.

    Regardless of your opinion of him as a person he's definitely an ATG in the ring. Personally I don't even find him that abrasive when ompared with someone like Bellew anyway.

    GOAT at SFW
    Only 50-0-0-0 in boxing history

    If Floyd claims he is the GOAT it will not be as audacious as anybody questioning his ATG status

    Top 10 ATG is definitely not far-fetched

    He would have been easily the GOAT in my list, if he didn't avoid Paulie Williams and Antonio Margarito.

    Walks into the top 50, has a claim for top 30, shouldn't get near the top 10.

    Randall Tex Cobb ranks higher.

    definatley top 10 defensive figther
    but all the other atg on any list fought in there opponents backyard at least once in there career and floyd was a stay at home domestic usa fighter only

    h2h though IMO it is as a super feather /lightweight / where he was best

    i cannopt see him beating a sugar ray leaonard /tommy hearns at welterweight
    even fighters like vernon forest /the tall rangy fighters would have given him all type of problems .

    i never liked him he was a saftey first fighter and had a personality that did not appeal to me
    but defensivley he was as good as any fighter i have seen since i started watching boxing about 40 years ago in avoiding /rolling with shots

    chavez/duran/mosely/pryor/ whittaker all lightweight /light welter recent who i think stack up well h2h v mayweather

    whittaker
