Floyd won the most titles, Ray beat the bigger names
But Roy cleaned out and dominated his division.
Honestly, I don't recall Roy ever cleaning out a division he was in, where both Ray and Floyd cleaned out divisions. If we are talking the whole package then I rank them in this order:

1. Ray
2. Floyd
3. Roy

I think Ray has both hands down on quality of opposition and special performances. Difficult to top the Duran and Hearns wins, and then throw in Benitez and the fight vs. Hagler (thought Ray lost but he got the win and performed MUCH better than I anticipated) and it is tough to match that level of competition. Roy has both on the "eye test", where he just looked so much more superior than everyone else, especially during his dominant performances against Ruiz, Montell, Toney...etc. Floyd is a balance between the two to me, where he beat slightly less impressive competition than Ray, but never had some of the "wow" performances of Roy. If you take Ray out and throw Manny, Hopkins, and Evander in there it will be a much more difficult debate in my opinion.
