    Corralles was never a unanimous top 5 P4P.

    And beyond that, there are plenty more fighters that beat up on bigger men in more impressive fashion than Floyd did and against better fighters.

    He's an all-time great no doubt, but he certainly doesn't crack the top 30, and at best may just edge into the top 40.

    any top 10 of ALL TIME is going to be HIGHly debated...i would like to know who at 130 had more skill than PBF? not resume...not as much skill...More skill...someone who someone in good conscience can say he is BETTER than floyd...PBF has been fighting since he was 3 ...he has never lost and when he wins he dominates ...at 130 lbs i am not saying he is THE best ever but he is def one of them

    5 times, Floyd was a very good puncher at 130lbs, and there have been displays of similar dominance against far superior fighters than Corralles, who was clueless at cuting off the ring and rarely threw a jab in that fight.

    As for determing who ranks inside the top 30 or 40, resume is the key factor, overall ability and skill as well as their career as a whole as in what they accomplished, longevity, overcoming adversity etc.

    In boxing's history, Floyd may crack the top 40 when you take everything into account.

    you see thats the point, resume is the biggest thing basically!! how can you tell someones actual skill level if they dont fight the best! If hatton fought all of us ìm sure he`d look like SRR! ok floyd was great at his prime weight, but when he moved up in weight if he fought the best at that weight he would not be talked about in the same light as he would have a few defeats on his record AND would not of looked good......

    That´s one thing I agree. Langford, Greb, Armstrong, Robinson and Charles are the elite of the elite. Duran and Walker come close imho but just miss out by a very tiny bit.

    There´s plenty of footage of Langford. At least enough to see what he was about.

    Also when it comes to rankings accomplishment and resume should play the biggest part because these things can be evalueated most objectivly.
