    Mayweather. Dominance, success across 5 divisions, superior ability. I think they're resumes are comparable as well, so there's really no edge for Azumah here.

    Nelson for me. Floyd has better ability, but Nelson never cherrypicked, which for me gives him the edge

    Nelson easily has the best win between the two, but I can see the reasoning for rating Floyd higher. It's close imo.

    at this point Azumah. Floyd is one big name like Manny away from overtaking Azumah.

    For the record, I don't consider them close. Floyd makes the top 50 for me, Nelson would be somewhere around the 80 mark.

    Me neither. Mayweather's much better.

    But hasn't had the balls to prove it.

    PBF is probably a more gifted fighter but he has been very selective in his choice of opponents.

    Mayweather and Nelson are both in the 90-100 bracket for me.

    Floyd's a *****. Bottom line. They're close otherwise, in fact Mayweather is probably the more talented guy, but the fact is that if they were ever offered to fight each other Floyd would probably accuse Nelson of having AIDS and refuse to go through with it unless he was paid 95% of the purse, and even if Nelson agreed to that he would go back on his word, citing artistic differences. Then he'd take on Bazooka Limon after Camacho had just dismissed him, thus "proving" himself the best in the world. At least in his feeble mind.

    Exactly. I only put him in my top 100 to stop people only asking about his exclusion. Even then I get the usual 'how is he not in your top 50' bull****.
