    I think Pernell Whitaker ranks the highest of all of them, with Roy second, and Mayweather third. That could very well change if Mayweather beats Hatton, Cotto, and Williams.

    you mean your list can go that way. floyd did everything sweet pea did and remained undefeated doing so. I would of had sweet pea first if he had won a title at middleweight.

    I could also make a case for roy being ahead of floyd based on his title defenses and victories over former champions. but then you would have to really look at roy's title defenses and floyds and compare who had the tougher comp.

    don't see how anyone could rank pernell ahead of toy in any conceivable way. roy faced and defeated more champions and remained undefeated far longer then sweet pea.

    Their damn close, I'll give you that. I could put Roy number 1 and have no problems with that.

    Mosley, Vargas, Wright, and Pacquiao don't have the resumes that Floyd does.

    Gotta keep these "championship's" in perspective:yep SRR would have dwarfed these statistics hade he or other fighters for about 90 years had 6 Champions/titlelists in every division.

    PBF's resume is polish without the best substance. Whitaker and Jones were both UNIFIED CHAMPIONS. Floyd doesnt know anything about that!:nono Whitker and Jones both faced the top guy's in the end, Floyd dont know nothing about that!:nono

    Floyd picks and chooses through every single weight. It's ridiculous and if he really wants mention and comparison with the real ATG's? He should thank God that he has guy's like Cotto and Williams around. Beating quality opponents has a way of proving one's greatness:good

    You missed Julio Cesar Vasquez under Pernell Whitaker. He was the 2-time WBA Light Middleweight Champion who beat Winky Wright, Aaron Davis, Carl Daniels, and Javier Castillejo. He had 10 title defenses too.

    Very underrated win from Sweet Pea

    You should probably only put names of fighters they actually beat on their resume.

    that part seemed to sail way over his head:lol:

    and none of the fighters he mentioned remained undefeated and dominated for more than ten years.
