    Top 5 easy...wins most of the fantasy match-ups...people compare him to greats just for hypothetical purpose...revolutionized the sport back into mainstream being a world wide household name...made more money than all of'em....and he's arguably one the most skilled of all time...what he's accomplished in the ring is more than up to par as far as achievements.

    People hate Floyd because he's smart and more fighters don't have his work ethic...not Floyd's fault...but top 5 easy.

    Probably 18-20 when I've thought about it recently.

    If he's able to win a middle weight belt in some capacity, and finishes career beating the MAN from 140-160 undefeated you can argue top 5

    Top 50 no doubt. Anyone who says top 5 is just sucking his dick. There are a lot more than 5 guys who accomplished far more than he has in the sport. Ray Robinson had more than twice as many KOs as Mayweather has had fights.

    Jones is probably number 1

    Floyd had potential but in the end he ducked everyone so he isn't top 50

    Greatness is based on actual accomplishments, which means Jones is nowhere close to #1. Nowhere ****ing close.

    Sometimes a fighter must do something extra ordinary, get out of their comfort zone and show why they are the best. Floyd is clearly the best and shown it... But he shouldn't have avoided fights he PROBALY WOULD HAVE WON... or delayed fights... Cotto and Pacquiao 2008/2009 he didn't want any of...Delayed Mosley... didn't fight Margarito...
