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.
