There's no doubt about it. But I would give more points to a fighter like RJJ that took shots throughout his entire career. Floyd has stayed where he's comfortable and has hand picked his opponents for years.

Bingo. Other than two fights, Diego Corrales & JLC, Floyd has avoided the best fighters around his weight class like a sickness for his entire career. No way can you consider him top 5 of best ever because of this. Going on skill, he has it. But he has never had the guts to display it against guys who "could be" legit threats.

Props to Roy for jumping to heavyweight but imo that killed his career. He rushed his move back to 175 and he shouldn't have.
