    GGG has no business on this list, but everyone knows Fat DAN is a GGG Goonster!

    I like Finito Lopez a lot, he was a great small fighter.

    But who did he beat of note for anyone to think he should be placed higher than Mayweather?

    When all is said and done, Mayweather has around 10 wins over HOF fighters/HOF bound fighters. It's the reason I have him over Jones Jr, Sweet Pea and HOpkins as well. He beat more HOF fighters than Chavez sr, who had double the amount of fights Floyd did. He also went up more weight classes than all those guys sans JOnes Jr. I'd look at JOnes in a different light if he maintained a good level of competition after his wins over Hopkins and Toney, but I have a hard time remembering who he fought in the mid-late 90's. It was nice to see him go up to HW, but he took on the weakest alphabet champion in the division.

    The only guy that can make a case as being around the same level resume-wise with Floyd is Manny Pac. But Manny has many losses on his record, including against Floyd himself.

    Hell even Kostya Tszyu belonged on there instead of him. His resume is much better than GGG.

    Finito deserves a place on the list no doubt. One of the most textbook boxers I've ever had the pleasure of seeing fight, I loved his style. His resume isn't the best but it's not horrible either.

    ^^I agree with you, he's a terrific technical fighter.

    But when you talk about P4P greats, it has to be a combination of skillset and your resume. For that reason, I just can't put him on the level of a Mayweather or a Pacquiao. It's no fault of Lopez' as he could only fight who was available at the lighter weights at the time.

    No way GGG should have even been ahead of Kovalev or Martinez... FAT DAN is the biggest GGG groupie I've ever seen.

    So you agree GGG doesn't deserve to be on the list.?

    You're right both Martinez and Kovalev deserve to be on there ahead of him.
