    I've only seen a couple of his fights to tell you the truth. I'll admit that I made a poor assumption. I will spend my time off watching as many SRL fights as I can on YouTube. :yep

    SRL or Floyd may have more skill than Pac but Pac is using all what he got against the best that's available.

    God,you're in for a treat mate.Start off with Dave Boy Green,and go for some early ones like Johnny Gant.People say Kalule wasn't a great performance,but I strongly disagree.Kalule was a very awkward customer with a hard style to figure out.Hearns 1 is his best win,but only because he fought poorly for most of the fight and pulled off a miracle.Ranzany and Marcotte are good too.
    Check out his Olympic adventure as well.Let me know if you're a convert once you've had a look.:good

    Lol at anyone saying Srl is more skilled than Floyd. That's a joke. Srl does not have as many dimensions as Floyd. And its not even close. Floyd can not only do everything there is to do in the ring , but he's the best at it all p4p of this generation. In fighting , boxing , counter punching. Whatever. And he's 35. Lol where was Srl when he was 35?. There's no question 24 year old welterweight Srl would be a favorite of 35 yearold welterweight Floyd. For obvious reasons. Size , Age. Floyd was a feather at 24. Srl , in his fights with benitez, duran and hagler showed. Srl depends on his superior physical attributes. Not skill he basically ran from duran in the second fight. Because he can't fight inside. And wouldn't have been able to do that if they weren't in that big ass ring. He did the same thing to hagler. There was no great virtuoso skill shown. Prime Srl is not faster than the Floyd that fought Judah so who's to say Floyd couldn't dance around them too? And he could actually put up a fight on the inside. Srl beat benitez with just a quick jab . I think Floyd could easily do that. But tommy hearns would demolish Floyd. Stop overrating people because their so called legends. Srl is not in floyds / pernells league in terms of skill. And pac shouldnt be in this discussion.

    He is a more complete fighter than any of them.Because you weren't around to see it doesnt mean it isn't so.
    You can pick at certain elements but it's not disparaging to Floyd to say that Ray is a better all round fighter.

    Leonard is one of my favourite fighters of all-time. Both him and Floyd are as skilled as anyone in boxing history imo, but Pacquiao has to rank lower in terms of skill.

    Srl was just a boxer with a punch. But he was a great one. Floyd is an Atg at.everything except power punching. If Floyd was Srl' size he would beat everyone on Srl' resume cleary. Except for hearns. I don't know why its so hard to understand that Floyd is small. He shouldn't even be fighting at Ww. Let alone 154. Nobody walks around under their fighting weight. Especially. At 35. Thats an amazing feat in itself. And he gets no credit for it. And this is coming from someone who doesn't like Floyd.

    I bet someone in this discussion is actually smaller than Floyd and deserves a credit in that respect.

    Leonards a better fighter, ranks way higher and would beat Maywetaher h2h but Mayweather has more skill! Leonard has more athleticism and power and he's close enough in skill that those 2 things would be enough to beat Mayweather
