Where Is Floyd Mayweather Ranked In All Time Listings Now He Has Retired?

[Beanflicker]

There are also a lot of guys that were more skilled then Floyd (Sorry all you PBF fans).

Yeah? I challenge you to name FIVE of them...

I am not saying all of these guys are more skilled then PBF, but look at these names and compare see with what you come up...

Pernell
Pep
RJJ
SRR
Arguello
SRL
"Finito" Lopez
Ali

These are incredibly skilled guys, but I don't believe they were as skilled as Floyd with the exception of possibly SRR. Pep and Pernell are two of my idols, but they relied a lot on reflexes and god given speed. Same with RJJ.

If you're looking at pure boxing skill, offense, defense, footwork, psychology, ring generalship, ect, I don't think any of these guys put it all together like FLoyd Mayweather.

People can knock Floyd for his compedition, or retiring while there are still mega fights out there that he should be taking, but if you look at his in ring ability without bias, I think you'll be hard pressed to find many who were more skilled than Floyd, let alone "lots" as the gentleman I replied to claimed.

Floyd can, and has, fought in pretty much any position with great success. He could box, stay away and pick guys apart just as easily as he could stand in the pocket and bang away or fight off the ropes. How many guys could do that?

I watch Floyd and the first thing that comes to my is adaptability. I think the big thing that the Ricky Hatton fight reaffirmed is that Floyd has no immediate weaknesses or holes in his game. He is as good of an all round fighter as I've ever seen.

I rank guys ahead of him, like SRR, because of their achievments though.

I said he had to be top 15 perhaps even at best 15 he retired if he is retired unbeaten in 39 fights a 5 weight champ 6 time champ 20 odd world title fights against top notch names and at the time of retirement he was and had been P4P number 1 a couple of year.And to come from super feather to lightmiddle at 5 ft 8 inch is a great achievement.Lets all reflect on his career and place him we all know as fans where he belongs.
