Master I've seen all the greats of past and for me personally floyds the best. He's not only beat everyone out there and there's a lot of great fighters he's faced, he's made every single one of them look average. I know a lot of people discredit his 0 but when does it start to mean something
I would guarantee Leonard, Hearns and Robinson beat him.

I also think he would not have beaten all of the top fighters in the 1990's like Oscar, Sweat Pea, Ike and Tito.

Floyd is an ATG but TBE is the highest accolade to give someone and he does not meet that criteria.
See that's the problem with now vs past your saying you guarantee they would beat floyd when it's impossible to say, so it's pointless these type of conversations that's why I always say in my opinion he's the best ever.
Also was watching a lot of interviews last night on YouTube I never realised Oscar made floyd use 10oz gloves. Maybe it's been talked about before and I just missed it but would like to see people's views on this, having boxed myself going from 8 oz to 10s is a noticeable difference.
8 oz gloves would not have helped Floyd in the fight against Oscar.
