    Since the Mayweather-Canelo schooling, a ****ton of threads have been made as (or turned into) a place to argue about Floyd Mayweather Jr.' s current place in the all-time ATG rankings. However, I haven't seen many people actually post their own personal rankings. Here's a place to officially do so.

    Not enough time has passed since the fight for the dust to completely settle, which makes a thread like this susceptible to bias, but this isn't to be taken too seriously anyway. I don't usually make lists like these, but after taking a little time to make my own top 20, it looks something like this:

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Willie Pep
    3. Henry Armstrong
    4. Muhammad Ali
    5. Harry Greb
    6. Sam Langford
    7. Roberto Duran
    8. Jack Johnson
    9. Benny Leonard
    10.Sugar Ray Leonard
    11.Joe Louis
    12.Joe Gans
    13.Gene Tunney
    14.Barney Ross
    15.Ezzard Charles
    16.Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    17.Sandy Saddler
    18.Jimmy Wilde
    19.Tony Canzoneri
    20.Archie Moore


    Depending on how many people post in this here thread, we might get a good idea of what this recent win might have done for Mayweather's career.

    I have Mayweather at #1
    This is because he never ducked anyone or handpicked any opponents. He fought the best and whoever they put in front of him like a true fighter. His biggest name opponents didn't come when they were at the tail end of their careers or before their prime but IN THEIR PRIME. I mean Mosley, Cotto, and DLH were all in their prime when Mayweather fought them. He didn't make any excuses about any potential opponents to duck fights and also never fought at a catchweight. It's difficult to not have him at #1 for these reasons.

    He also had the misfortune (which turned out to be good fortune) to be fighting in the toughest era in baaxing history - every W in Mayweather's W column is against either an ATG, or at the very least a Hall of Famer

    A crowd pleaser to the bitter end, Our Floyd wasnt afraid of taking a risk or two if it meant the fans got their money worth at the end of the day

    Floyd "ATG" Mayweather - OUR Hero

    Hard to rate a fighter with 45 total bouts higher than say Harry Greb with 300. Greb beat heavyweights and dominated the middleweight division or pep with 260 bouts who only lost a handful of fights before and after his peak.
