    I'll add that a win over a legitimate top dog at middleweight is what is probably needed at this point to really give him a strong bump upwards into the top 25.

    See this is what I don't get refusal to Fight anyone dangerous? You just disrespected Cotto,Mosley,Hatton,Oscar,Judah,Gatti,Ndou,Castillo,Corrales and Hernandez.If you don't like the man cool but stop with this duck talk,17 years and still in top form give the man his due.

    Okay What about this modified list

    #45 Undefeated Champion Canelo
    #46 Undefeated Champion Timothy Bradley
    #47 Undefeated Welter Contender Broner
    #48 Undefeated Welter Contender Kell Brook
    #49 Undefeated WBC 154lbs Champion Sergey Rabchenko
    #50 Undisputed/Lineal 160lbs Champion GGG (assuming he does become that)

    Where exactly will that land him on your list?

    Probably 15-25, as I think a win over the legitimate middleweight champion would be huge, adding a 3rd historic weight class to his ledger.

    I agree, a win over a legitimate and close to prime middleweight would be a huge accomplishment. Personally I think if he does what the eltirado laid out in his modified list, I'd have him either knocking at the door of the top 10 or perhaps even just making it.

    Lets increase the risk factor, hoping Floyd reads this, when he still can change other people opinion about him. This can only improve his resume

    How about this modified 6 fight list

    #45 Undefeated Champion Canelo
    #46 Undefeated Champion Timothy Bradley
    #47 Undefeated Welter Contender Broner
    #48 Undefeated WBC 154lbs Champion Sergey Rabchenko
    #49 Undisputed/Lineal 160lbs Champion GGG (assuming he does become that)
    #50 Undisputed/Lineal 168lbs Champion Andre Ward

    Where exactly will that land him on your list?

    :lol:

    Well, if he did that, and he genuinely beat Ward at 168, he would get an amazing boost in my eyes, and that would undoubtedly land him probably right around #10, but I'd say between 5 and 15, leaving wiggle room for specific circumstances.

    UNDEFEATED means nothing if you've been cherrypicking your opponents.

    Does Floyd have any victories over prime ATG fighters? THe answer is no.

    Morales has at least 2:deal

    Exactly. Most manipulated and overrated champion in history possibly. Floyd has stellar defense, we get it. What else he got? Who has be beat? In His only legit challenge against another ATG in their prime, the ***** starts demanding blood tests and blows it. Gee, and we want to call this guy a GOAT? Fuking please.

    morales has the better top 2 wins but mayweather has the better longevity and is superior h2h. not sure how morales can take a lead based on "His best wins are better"

    maybe in a "who has the better top 2 wins" poll he could.
