    Lower than Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Roy Jones.

    Nobody plays with Pac ever. Beat him ?? I wouldn't argue with that, but zero fighters ever play with Prime Pac

    After watching Pac from his early days, I would have to see it to believe it kinda thing..Exceptional talents don't get beaten easily in any era, but I will say I know f all about Leonard apart from how highly people rate him, and pretty much the same with Napoles :)
    So I think i'll swerve this one with you ;)

    Hell no hes not. I rate all three of them better than Whitaker. Especially RJJ and Pac. Those guys beat legends. I'm talking legends. And then they moved up so much weight.

    Floyd is the Rocky Marciano of lower weights.

    Top 20, possibly top 10. Only the level of opposition compared to other ATGs makes it hard for him to be top 10. Skills wise he easily is. H2H he could beat anyone.

    Accept he beat much better people than Rocky Marciano, and more prime fighters (despite his best names being past it)

    And very far past it. Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore are in top 10 pfp ever, he beat them both but when both were in the late 30s/ early 40s.
