    none of the undefeated fighters do too well in these lists, if your fighting lots of tough fights your gonna loose some.

    It's true, very true. It's Floyd or Rocky, guys like Calzaghe and Lopez are in the 110 range.

    No, because he isn't Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Exactly. If he had met Oscar or Mosley during their lightweight runs, Mayweather wouldn't have gotten by them. Pernell whitaker beats Mayweather also.
    As for Pac, i do believe Floyd beats him relatively easy.

    Woah woah woah, chill down people. No need to get upset when someone claims they believe one fighter is better than another fight. It's highly subjective.

    Clearly Jones top couple wins are better than Floyds'. But I'll value Floyds' depth over Jones' for sure.

    Mayweather top 15 wins:
    Corrales
    Castillo X2
    Genaro
    Cotto
    Hatton
    Oscar
    Mosley
    JMM
    Baldomir
    Judah
    Gatti
    Manfredy
    Chavez
    Ortiz

    Roy's best 15 wins:
    Toney
    Hopkins
    Tarver I
    Hill
    Ruiz
    McCallum
    Griffin II
    Woods
    Del Valle
    Paz
    Harding
    Johnson
    Gonzalez
    Lucas
    Grant

    I think I could have fun by listing their 10 worst performances/opponents.

    The thing I like about Floyd though he would be one of the only ones that would fit in with the old school era, especially at 130, 135.

    Marciano ahead of Ricardo...?

    I think Ricardo is a top 50 ATG, you say 110 range... Hmm...
     
  12. not like that ***** in your avatar.
     
  13. marciano should not be mentioned in the same sentence as mayweather.
