    He def passes the eye test quite nicely and dominated some great boxers as well as having one of the highest boxing IQs ever. So I def think he would be great in any era he fought in.

    No doubt Floyd would be a problem for anyone in history, bar none. He could compete with anyone.

    Fair enough but his performances were still very notable. He clearly beat Chavez and at least fought DLH evenly or better.

    Wow a few actually agree that Floyd has amazing skills and boxing I.q on this forum

    Pigs actually do fly
    As a post above notes, if boxers from the old days saw his pull counters, how effective he is with the shoulder roll, lead right, check hook, etc, they would not be thinking he's an easy fight

    Sure he could call his fights later in his career, but you are a moron if you don't rate his talent or a liar

    Tyson of the Spinks fight vs. Ali of the Williams fight. Greatest time machine matchup ever.

    Why should we remove ali? the greatest boxer ever is sugar ray robinson, with and without ali.
