    if the top 100 are the top 1%, that means there would have been 10000 boxers.

    Which means the top 0.000001% wouldn't be the top 20, it would be the top 0.1 boxers, which isn't really possible.

    I'd say what I said, a top tiny percentile.

    Fantastic post man! Well said. People are emotional about this sport and certain boxers such as Floyd, Manny, Tyson, SRR, Canelo, GGG, Ward etc get exceptionally emotional responses making it difficult to have logical conversations/ debates about.

    The site filters out swear words, so we've no idea what you're saying here.

    You seem to be putting alot more emphasis on titles rather than the fighters
    Except for lww, Floyd fought the top man of each division and fought the top LWW at WW

    At sfw
    Corrales was an undefeated former world champion who had vacated his title
    It didn't need him to not vacate his title to make him a better fighter

    Floyd also won unification fights

    The only division I recall Crawford winning unification fights was at lww

    I like Crawford and usyk but can't see how with what you wrote that if they achieve what you say will have surpassed Floyd

    Crawford wasn’t unified at 135 for 1 for 2 even if Spence did that his resume and level of fighters fought is no where near close to Floyd, Castillo whoops Crawford entire 135 resume and probably him as well, Gatti, n’duo is better than Indongo and postol and at 147 it’s a complete wipe out old washed up khan and Brook? Porter on his last legs coming off a loss. At least the older names Floyd faced were coming off some of the biggest wins if they career. What the hell has anybody Crawford has fought ever done

    Don't be so arrogant
    You sometimes decide to act this way believing yourself to be smarter than other posters

    You haven't made a very compelling argument

    I can't fault this. Crawford against Gamboa was a joke when it came to size and he's dragged his feet at welterweight instead of facing the vest at their best. Crawford is a very weak belt holder right now.

    I've been a fan since the 70's and Floyd was a joy to watch, I will miss him. As far as his attitude, I could care less, I never got into that stuff, just love to watch great fights! He would be a rough night for any of the ATGs, even guys like Hearns & SRR would find him frustrating for a while. He is probably the $martest of all time.

    Although I don't do lists, somewhere around 25th ATG sounds about right to me.
