Pep lost to a lot of fighters that were not as good as Floyds opposition. I also dont like to include fighters with Little to no footage so I would have Harry Greb on an ATG list, although he may very well deserve to be. Joe Louis fought a lot of bums and the only difference between him and floyd is fight numbers. Ray Robinson is the greatest ever in my opinion but I could not see Floyd losing to Jake La Motta. Johnson again as no footage I cant say but his record is nothing impressive. It would appear that you consider fighters from nowadays to be shit and are just including champions of old.
You said name 10, nothing else about footage or whatnotwhere does it imply that I think fighters from nowadays are sh-t
the funny thing is I haven't even mentioned guys like - R. Leonard, Hagler, Sanchez, Whitaker, Marciano, Charles, Moore, Saddler, Jofre, Arguello, Holyfield, Ike Williams, Gavilian, Chavez

I just thought it strange you not include one fighter from the last 30 years on your list of 10, which made me think you dont rate this generation. I may have been wrong
Your a good dude Silkey and I'm enjoying the debateI think Floyd could have beaten almost anyone put in front of him in this era
unfortunately he never fought these fights

I would have liked to have seen Floyd clean out 130 against Casamayor and Frietasfights with Spadafora and Dorin (over Ndou and Sosa)
Tszyu at 140 then Hatton
instead of moving to 147 for Mitchell
challenging Spinks for the championship and avoiding the whole necessity for the Baldomir-Judah situation
after De La Hoya I would have like him to face Williams or Cotto but he retired when there were still challenges awaiting him (not forced like Leonard with his eyes or Ali with the courts)
when he returned he did't fight the best (Pacquiao) like Leonard did against Hagler at middleweight btw
