    On ESPN a couple of years ago, Mayweather had Duran #2. Now he's got Sweet Pea ahead of Duran?

    LOL :abduct:

    The only one that has a case for being on that list might be Duran. When there are guys like Greb, SRR, Armstrong, Willie Pep, Wilde, Joe Gans etc etc lurking in the wings you've got a very high standard indeed.

    Floyd probably calculated somehow that putting Sweet Pea ahead enhances his own legacy.

    Floyd and Whittaker did spar in the 90's, so that's probably the reason Floyd added him.

    The bloke can’t stand not being talked about so publishes a controversial list to get people discussing his name, what a clown!

    Jog on Floyd, you’re yesterdays news and history will judge that you don’t belong in any list of the best ever boxers let alone at the top.

    Joker!

    This is wrong because I think he had Ali in his top 5. Great list though. Everyone will have a different opinion.

    I think it's funny he always includes Pryor. I think that would have been a tough fight for Floyd.

    Other than perhaps Duran none of those belong in the top 5.

    Pernell was better than the other 3 though.
