    Same, but maybe a couple spots higher in time depending on where Canelo goes. I thought Canelo looked off, even given Floyd's great performance.
    Assuming Canelo was full force tonight doesn't change his ranking much for me either.
    It was a nice win though.

    The exact same spot he occupied before. There was no doubt he'd take this, with not much trouble, so I don't see a reason to move him up for beating the most overrated boxer in today's era.

    He's the best ever. **** Ali and Robinson, the historians and media have sugar coated their stories and boxing abilities way too much. Read that hat TBE, THE BEST EVER.

    He is behind only to SRR imo. The guys is just brillant in everything he does. For he to go toe to toe with a 15lbs disadvantage against a sharp puncher showed a lot of skills.

    He's in my top 15. Depending on who he fights his last 4 fights with Showtime and he fights maybe 1 or 2 more fights after that and wins all of them in dominant fashion, I'll have no issues with putting him in my top 10 of all time.

    All the top 10 fighters outside of Ray Leonard had a LOT of tomato cans on their resumes, which helped them have these incredible 100+ win records. Even the great Ray Robinson fought many guys with horrific records who werenothing more than glorified club fighters (look it up on boxrec, it's ridiculous some of the guys that were allowed to fight against SRR.)

    But in those times, it was normal for fighters to fight a few times a MONTH. Different eras, but Floyd right now has beaten opposition that have over a 92% Winning record and he's pretty much dominated all of them. Absolutely unbelievable.

    He's starting to get very close to being ranked with the upper echelon of the elites including Pep, Robinson, Louis, Armstrong and Greb. Very close.
