    Void is in no way the best ever.

    Not even the best 130lbs ever(his best weight class). I would put Arguello over him in an SD.

    Those guys you mention were all naturally too big for FMJ except maybe Duran & Casamayor & I believe you have predicted that one wrong... Mayweather would **** any version of Casa up, seriously, but not Duran.

    Mayweather is certainly one of the most talented boxers ever & the best boxer of the past 10-15 yrs without doubt but Robinson, Ali & Pep were the best ever IMO.

    7 people really voted for Floyd? I guess nuthuggers will always be around

    Even if he beats Cotto, Margarito , Paul Williams and Pacman I would still not have him as GOAT (But definitely much higher than I have him now haha, top 8 for sure)

    Not the greatest ever far from it. He is an ATG no doubt about it.

    His ability is better than his record, he is nowhere near the best ever.

    I think he has a case for top 20. I'd probably stick him top 30. I think somewhere around where Bernard Hopkins is fitting.
