    35-50 in terms of greatness.

    Around 10-15 in terms of being the best.

    Nope and he's not even close.

    If you believe he is then my suggestion is study boxing history more.

    The best of his Era yes
    In all of boxing’s universe since the Dawn of time?
    Probably Not.
    & would be ignorant & flawed logic for those who weren’t alive during other eras to assume so & run with that narrative.

    The Best Ever Con Man maybe thats all. Take away all the "help" he had, both legal & illegal & youre left with a diva not a bona fide great . That's my honest opinion for what its worth

    What makes me laugh are the guys, who idolize Floyd, Immediately attack anyone that doesn't worship him & label them haters LOL Ive been called a hater by Floyd's cheerleaders but that is not true at all. What is true is that I have absolutely no respect for him whatsoever. No way in the world could I support him. You call him
    "One of the best fighter of all time" I disagree Floyd stopped FIGHTING at 135 claiming bad hands.
    Really Floyd admitted this himself after the Maidana 1 fight. A tearful Floyd whined " Maidana roughed me up & beat me up but the referee did nothing to stop him, it wasn't fair" ROFLHe was RELYING on Tony Weekes being the new Joe Cortez & protecting him. He wasn't LOL he let them BOTH fight. Floyd couldn't compete
