Where would you rank Floyd in terms of pure boxing ability and skills?
One of the very best ever for me.
Slickest boxer I ever seen. Maybe the fastest. Sharp-enough puncher. Very Good stamina. Longevity!
I can't think of more than 3/4 fighters ranked ahead of him.
PROBABLY the best of all time in terms of ability. Can't say I've seen any better.
Ability wise he ranks among the highest of all boxers.
How could anyone claim otherwise.
I would say that he's in the top 10-15 all time in terms of ability.
Sure he didn't fight everyone he was supposed to, but there's still no doubt that Floyd is a great talent. Maybe one of the most talented fighters ever.
Really, if he fought and beat Pacquiao back in 2009-2010, NOBODY would be doubting his greatness.
He's one of the greatest ever technically. He's so slick in the ring. For me I rank Floyd with Willie Pep n Sweet Pea Whitaker as the best defensive fighters ever. Those three were/are 3 of my favorite fighters to watch in the ring (hard to get good footage of Pep, unfortunately). Floyd is a true professional and technician in the ring, although I do hold the not making weight vs JMM against him (unprofessional). There was no excuse for that and I lost a ton of respect for Floyd when he did that.
So what? He is not the best ever and is still a cunt.
