The Brothers [African American]

Prime ... In a one off at their best.

Holyfield
Hopkins
Jones
Leonard
Whitaker
Mayweather ... Floyd is in the conversation legit and earned it.

Let me correct this.
Holyfield, Jones, Whitaker.
I've seen so much of them it's challenging to pick and the arguments for the others are so rich.

And Ray Leonard
I'm gonna be here all day.

I just like them all and I will say this.
Floyd Mayweather has done enough to put his name in a very select group.

On ability? He is one of the greatest to lace up the gloves.
Resume is great.There are better resumes but his is very solid.
On ego the guy is the best ever.No one has or had a higher opinion of themselves

Can we rate him on personality next?

He's taken being a tool to another level.

Floyd's reflexes are the best I've ever seen.

"When Marvellous Marvin Hagler was fighting, the official weigh-in took place on the day of the fight."

As it should be, the way they do it now is a sham.

And a lot safer for the fighters, neither are perfect but now is better than before, plus I like to see how much weight the boxers have gained day of fight interesting.

SRL was great, but is a bit over-rated mostly by those that probably never seen him fight. He would have lost to Hearns if it was a 12 round fight, and admitted he lost their second meeting. I also thought he lost vs Hagler. Hagler vs Leonard was one of those fights that happened a few years too late. All that said, he was still great, but he was shot at 34yrs old. Pac is 36 and Floyd will soon be 38, and both are far and away better than SRL was at 34....if that matters.

I can agree with that to some degree, I wouldn't go so far as saying he was a bit overrated although I think his skills aren't on the same level as Floyd's defensively nor Pac's offensively.

I cannot believe what I'm reading Badhusker[or Badjudge] SRL overrated sorry mate but if anyone watch's SRL in his prime they'll know that you my friend could write down all your Boxing knowledge on the back of a postage stamp. That quote about SRL being washed up by 34 AND PAC/FLOYD ARE FAR AND AWAY BETTER THAN SRL AT THIS STAGE SEALS THE DEAL.

No Hagler on your list ?Hagler definetly on par wth anyone on your list.
maybe Hearns, and Michael Spinks?

Even though he hasn't fought EVERYONE, Floyd still has a pretty good resume. Wins over Hatton, G. Hernandez, Corrales, Cotto, Manfredy, Mosley, Canelo, Guerrero, Maidana, Castillo, and Judah.
