Floyd is the only modern great boxer that could hold his own with any of the ATGs. He might not win all of them, but Ill win most of them. Hes defiantly Top 10 ATG period!
The most basic way to determine ATG status is skills and resume. Skills are obviously fine, but his resume at 147 is really lacking. Cotto, Clottey, Mosley etc. I would favour him in all but he never fought them. I suppose it depends on how highly you rate resume, but I think its extremely important. You need to face the best to get in the top 20-30. He clearly hasen't. Skill wise he could hang with most boxers from 130 to 147.
the greatest of all time never been put down (not properly) 5 times world champion in 6 different weight divisons undefeated power, speed, stamina in abundance great resume - castillo, hatton, de la hoya, coralles to name a few never looked in trouble in the ring apart from 10 seconds against zab judah no other boxer in history comes out of fights with barely a scratch on him the greatest of all time
Hitman Fan in round 4 (i think) against Judah he clearly touched the canvas but Richard Steele failed to see it. Just because it was ignored doesen't mean he hasen't done it. The start of that fight showed how good Judah was, even at 147. Such a waste of talent. Perfect example of how boxing is also a mental game.
