    Your skills at trolling are slipping. You're becoming much to obvious.

      Duran
      Pacquiao

      Jones
      Whitaker
      Chavez
      Oscar
      Floyd



      There's the short list for you.
      - - Ignoring your dumbing down of this and every thread you contaminate, Duran in spite of No Mas that Ring butchered recently in an anniversary article, and Manny easily approached Robby in accomplishments.

      Removing them leaves the highlighted above. Roy prime easily matched Ray Prime, but his post prime didn't, so maybe a brief stay in Ray's shadow.

      PeaShooter way too flawed exacerbated by drug use and truncated career never came close.

      JCChavez easily matches Ray prime, but falls short post prime, another stay in Ray's shadow longer than Roys.

      Oscar certainly surpassed Ray in earnings, but never quite as good because of those substantial distractions not the least was becoming a promoter that P/O Vegas, ie Arum mightily.

      l'l floydy will always have an ***** rating over some of the worst beatings ever took since Ali while winning highly controversial decisions, but having Haymon take over Vegas for him who bequeathed him his own judges, refs, drug testing, and Venue where he spent 40% of the tail end of his career fighting short notice TBA fights that attracted the well heeled hip hop crowd who needed a new hero after Tyson retired, he never approached the shadow of Ray but he did exceed the earning of Oscar though as a promoter he continues to stink up boxing to a degree not ever witnessed in modern boxing history.

          - - 2 fighters remain who could possibly be seen in the shadow of Robby:

          1. Usyk, currently 26-0, 16 KO who in spite of physical limitations in this supersized heavy era is actually bigger than most heavies in history and can easily box with the best with enough power to put most down. Yeah, limited pro experience, but few historical heavies if any have been as punch perfect as Usyk. He like the Ks are a product of his cultural strengths and limitations, in this case remaining AMA as he grew into the heavy division and Olympic Gold Medalist.

          2.Canelo a lightning rod for racial bias is near if not arguably as popular in Mexico as Chavez and keeps a website where he has polls over who fans want him to fight next. 58-2-2, 39 KO, he already at age 32 has a better record than Ali.

            Duran, Pacquiao, Canelo.

            Also, you should get shot because of writing Wlad.

              - - The Ks get an automatic testa boost ever time they hear U squealin' in soprano.

                If Floyd had fought and beaten Casamayor at 130, Dorin and Spadafora at 135, Harris and Hatton at 140, Bradley, prime Cotto and prime Pacquiao at 147, and Canelo without a catchweight at 154, where would you rank him all time? Top 10?

                  That's a lot of stipulations.

                    - - How about he beat them without the use of TUEs and his crack family?

                      - - Forgotten in history: As Spaddy approached Rocky's 49-0, he moved Heaven to fight l'l floydy, but couldn't move the Hell of Crack Family Floydy.
