Best of all time: Pound for Pound

That isn't true. Floyd fans are the only ones who say that because we say rightfully that Floyd belongs nowhere near the top 10. Let him fight all the best in multiple weight classes and he'll crack it. Jones had the potential to be a top 10 ATG. Guys like Langford fought the best from LW to HW, Armstrong won 3(should been 4) titles in 3 weight classes at the same time, back when there were only 8 weigth classes. Floyd is nowhere near guys like that, or Harry Greb in terms of resume, or Robinson, Charles, Ali, Leonard, Walker, Walcott, etc.

 

Langford fought at LW?

 

He beat Joe Gans himself there, yes, though he may have weighed in a couple pounds over.

 

Woopie.:yep

 

The Top 2 is very close, but I give the edge to Floyd over SRR. Just my opinion though.

 

Standi old bean how is it going.

I still disagree with your thinking of Jones's chances with Charles and Moore. I see those the exact opposite that you do. I really see Jones beating Moore up. I see Jones outboxing Charles as well, but I think Charles's ferocity is more likely to throw Jones off at stages than anything Moore will throw at him. I see that one as just a bit more competitive than Jones/Toney style-wise. Charles is more likely to hurt Jones throughout the fight, whereas is Moore does it, I think it would be off of a big punch. He couldn't do it Patterson when he was on him all night, so I don't see him doing it to a quicker, more conservative Jones.

 

No big deal for a 17 year old to beat the best LW of the era and one of the best of all time?

 

Based on the pure talent, not resume.

Where would you rank Henry Armstrong?
