    He already beat Estrada...

    And Estrada should be top 10 as well.

    Hmm, bold prediction. First fight was very good, much closer than the sh*tty scorecards. Roman is better than he was too though and I'd pick him again. The winner of the rematch must fight Monster.

    To make the difficult look easy, to make the great look average! That's FM in a nut shell!

    Currently, PFP, Gonzalez gives Floyd a run for his money(no pun intended).

    Floyd still has the best defence in the game, even with marginally slowed reflexes, but he's lost a lot of his offence....

    No. Floyd is done as p4p, has been for awhile. He lost the first Madaina fight but got a Vegas gift, as he did versus Pac. He's a scam. GGG would hang him.

    People are only just realising that there are a couple of others that have overtaken him.
    Vasyl Lomachenko once fully adapted to the pros (it looks like he actually is) IS better than Floyd. He's a better boxer than Floyd even before he turned pro.
    In real-time, Floyd won, in slow motion, Manny won.
    Floyd isn't as flawless as a boxer as he would have some believe. He fights more like Guillermo Rigondeaux now, but Guillermo is the master of that particular style, whilst also staying in punching range.
    Floyd is 4th best right now, arguably third just ahead of Manny. Ward is in the conversation too.

    Beterbiev is one that people will only be able to judge with confidence once he's actually been there with a great fighter. He's the only man I feel can beat Ward but only by a manhandling KO.

    Skill wise Rigo and arguably Lomachenko are better then Mayweather.

    But if they faced Mayweather now they would lose. Because Mayweather has experience and knows all kinds of tricks and tactics to win :D
