In the all time P4P rankings there are a number of fighters better than Floyd (maybe not skillwise but definently recordwise): Robinson, Armstrong, Pep, Duran, Hearns, Ray Leonard, Benny Leonard, Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, etc.

I don't doubt Floyd is great but there are a number of fighters he had better be down on his knees praising God that he didn't have to fight in their primes in his era: Tommy Hearns, Felix Trinidad, Pernell Whittaker, Oscar De la Hoya, Shane Mosley, Aaron Pryor, Julio Cesar Chavez, Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, etc.
I agree with this. Floyd picks and chooses, and like you say, picks the guys at the weights and ignores others. His record at 140 and above is so full of holes and fighters that had no business being in there with a top PFP fighter. Mayweather's record is flawed because in recent years he refused to take risks. It is for that reason that he most likely will not go down as the best ever. There are a lot of fighters greater than Floyd Mayweather.
