    How can you put someone in the top 10 when they can't even spell filthy.

    Could be up there , but he's not proven. To many great fights he will never fight. Boxers these days seem to only fight once or twice a year .He dosen't improve his standings with a Possible win over Marquez. He needs to clean out his division. The ATG fighters tested themselves and dared to be great.

    Zab Judah stepped on Floyds foot. Thats why his glove touched the canvas.

    earlier kIIlu said mayweather was the only current fighter to hang with the atg. no way pacman,marquez,hopkins,mosley are all time greats who would be top notch guys in any era

    Top 25 at the moment, if he was to fight and beat marquez, pacman, cotto & mosely then he would enter the top 10......

    I'm not a massive Floyd fan, but gotta give credit where its due

    You're giving him a huge amount of credit, moving him above guys like Ali, Benny Leonard, Jimmy McLarnin and Archie Moore (presumably) based upon these wins. Those are some great wins though. I doubt he'll ever fight those guys, however.

    The fact that Floyd almost has 40 fights under his belt and this is all people can bring up about him getting knock down. Speaks volume about how great of a fighter he is.

    I think it would be fair to edge him into the top 10 IF he was to beat these guys. That is a bif IF however.....

    Ah Jimmy Mclarnin,Benny Leonard , and Barney Ross...they were some great fights to check out on youtube...

    40-30 sounds reasonable.

    Should have been a contender for the best ever or at least top 10. But as it stands I would think he must be around the 50 mark. He was great at Super Feather beating Hernandez, Manfredy and Corrales. The wins (?) against Castillo were great. Beating Gatti was ok. But when you look at welterweight who has he fought. Mitchel, Judah, Baldomir, Hatton and Marquez who is no welterweight. He just seems to take the easy option on to many occasions. Which for me has prevented him from showing his true potential. He avoids the real competitive fights (Mosley @ lightweight and welterweight, Tszyu, Cotto, Hatton at light welter, Margarito, Williams, Clottey) as he doesn't want to risk his undefeated record. You have to fight the best to be the best. It's a shame because I feel he could have beat them all.
