    I've never made an all-time list.

    I guess he'd be in the top 40? Maybe top 30?

    Outside of top 50.
    Maidana was a smaller man, Cotto was damaged goods and a smaller man (both Maidana and Cotto were fatter but smaller) .
    Alvarez was drained 2 death.
    Marquez was geriatric when they fought and also dwarfed by a large margin and Floyd still needed to break their catchweight contract.

    Paul Williams was too big, so there was no fight.
    Margacheato and prime Cotto were 2 dangerous, so he retired.
    DeLaHoya had seen better days by the time when they fought, and still did not get beat.
    Mosley was very old.
    Hatton lost because of Joe Cortez.

    Top 50 .

    Has yet to beat a truely great fighter in their prime. A bit his fault , but not all.

    Put him in with 80's welters and then lets see how he does.

    I have him Don Curry level , but better managed.

    honestly id put him in or near the top 20 at this point in time

    remaning undefeated in 5 divisions over nearly 20 years as a pro at 47-0 (possibly 48)

    Maidana - 2 weight World champion
    Alvarez - WBA/WBC
    Guerrero - Multiple division champion
    Cotto - 4 weight world champion
    Ortiz - WBC
    Mosley - WBA
    Marquez - Multiple division champion
    Hatton - 140 Champion
    Delahoya - Multiple division champion

    not to mention Castillo/Corralles/Hernandez

    All fairness Floyds been a great champion

    Some of you guys are crazy I tell ya. You will look crazy in another 20 years just like every fan and critic in the 1950's who still ranked Jack Dempsey as the best heavyweight, and many even fighter period, ever... Anyone who seriously thinks Mayweather and Pacquiao aren't in the top 30 ever need to wake up a bit.
