    Because his resume is lagging behind his talent by a large margin.

    Because he doesn't deserve to be on a list of top ten greatest fighters of ALL-TIME?

    Because he's a ***** who wouldn't fight a prime Mosley.

    Or Margarito (pre Mosley)

    Or Pacquio.

    because he has done nowhere near what he needs to be top 10 material

    his opponents arent good enough and neither is he; nor will he ever be.

    his resume is lacking compared to the true all time greats. a little research goes a long way

    I'm similarly baffled that this thread was created.

    The answer is simple. He doesn't deserve it.

    The guy's reputation exceeds his actual accomplishment inside the ring.

    Not generally.

    But he's closer to that mark than any other active boxer.

    Im a huge fan of floyd but he is NOT top 10 yet, I think that if he fights pacquiao(not saying that he is ducking or any of that ****), and maybe a khan, bradley or berto, when they get a little more under their belt then he can definitely be top 10, but most likely top 20. Anywhere between top 30-40 is fair.

    Because it would be a slap in the face to all the true ATGs that deserve to be in the top 10 who actually stepped up and fought the best of their time. He's not done near enough and has avoided fighting the only prime future elite ATG he's encountered.
