I think both Pac and Floyd rate higher than this. Fact is, with all the advancements in science and training methods available, fighters battle at a much higher and competitive pace. One can argue the opposite by saying 15 round fighters fought more; but competition is now at a higher level IMO. I'm not going to give them a number on an ATG list until they both officialy retire.
Both are top 50. When you become undisputed by beating guys like Baldomir and Judah and all of a sudden p4p top 20 by beating damaged recently kod fighters like Hatton and Cotto tailormade for your style then can't beat a past his prime 38 yr old lightweight who in the hell do you think your foolin? Floyd and Pacman top 20 my ass.
Mayweather and Pacquiao both top 25. 50 years from now, when researchers read through these dated forums, they will be stunned to see the constant and wild claims of how low we rank our eras' fighters, especially these two legends.
I have my top 50 on a flash drive, as my computer erased itself some time ago and I've yet to put the files back on. My top ten (it fluctuates slightly): 1. Robinson 2. Pep 3. Louis 4. Moore 5. Armstrong 6. Ali 7. Charles 8. Duran 9. Saddler 10. Monzon
Moore about Armstrong and Charles? No Greb, Fitz or Langford? Not sure I understand that 1 Greb 2 Robinson 3 Armstrong 4 Langford 5 Charles 6 Fitzsimmons 7 Duran 8 Louis 9 Pep 10 Ali Any of the first 7 can be considered the greatest ever IMO
How can Floyd be ranked so low...he should be ranked in the top 10. He's the only boxer to have offer of free rooms, buffets, and limo rides with his fight tickets.
Leonard was already cemented Legend. Everything post-Hagler is extraneous. As a Duran fanboy, I hope you have the proper respect for SRL because that's far and away The Greatest Fighter Roberto ever beat, and its not close. :deal
