Top 10 Pound for Pound

My current pound for pound rankings

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
2. Manny Pacquiao
3. Wladimir Klitschko
4. Sergio Martinez
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Nonito Donaire
7. Andre Ward
8. Carl Froch
9. Bernard Hopkins
10. Victor Ortiz

Feel free too post your top 10

Klitschko, too high.
Ortiz - on the back of one decent win? Never. Khan and Bradley miles ahead of him.
Mayweather should be third, behind MP and SM.

2/10. Must try harder.

Klitschko has a career defining win over David Haye...Better win than Martinez vs Williams.

Berto is better than anything Khan and Bradley have beaten...Floyd Mayweather undefeated beat pound for pounders on a regular basis.

Why don't you post your list fists of fury?

I think that Vitali would beat Wladimir, so you've got the wrong Klitschko and as Fists said he is too high anyway.

Wladimir's record is superior to Vitali's which is why he is rated the number one heavyweight and Vitali isn't.

Haye is only seen as career defining in the UK, the consensus of opinion worldwide and stateside from my understanding was Haye would provide little to no more testing an examination for Wlad than many of his previous challengers have done and so it came to pass. Not really Wlad's fault that there are few if any risky challengers out there for him but it is the case and so beating guys who pose little to no challenge has to count against him irrespective of him taking each and every one of them on.

What's the point though PBF. You have Floyd at the top even though he hasn't fought in over a year and, similar to your "top 50 fighters ever" (or whatever it was) thread, it just comes across as an exercise in sticking Mayweather at the top of a list. Were he remotely active, I would have him at the top myself, but until he actually gets in the ring again, assuming the Ortiz fight happens, I don't think he can be considered the top p4p fighter right now.

Why don't you create a list of the best people called Floyd, it would be as worthwhile a thread as this.

1) Floyd Mayweather
2) Keith Floyd (RIP)
3) Pink Floyd

etc etc

Good hit. You could have Floyd Snr as well. Up to a a top 5 now.

Could also have pretty boy Floyd, the criminal not the part time boxer.

Never heard of him, but I know you wouldn't lie Rowley so stick him in as well.

Very nice guys but care to add your list?

Former tour de france winner Floyd Landis probably gets a top five berth

I have started mine with a bit of help from Jeff, but I am stuck at a top 7. Sorry.

Landis makes the top 5 for sure Jeff.

You two should do stand up comedy

To pad out the top ten we could also have soul singer of the original "Knock on Wood" Eddie Floyd. Golfing great Roger Floyd and this may be stretching things a bit but does Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink count?

Old time heavy Floyd Johnson belongs on the list and, just to make the guitarists happy, we should include Floyd Rose, also.

Floyd Kramer might just sneak in to a top twenty, also.

Keith Floyd should be in there, does we have more than a top 10 Floyds to choose from yet?

Keith was second on Tino's list Coxy

This is becoming a monster. Could be a top 20 soon.

Floyd Dixon the american footballer

PBF specified a top ten only, Tino. Anything beyond that would be null and Floyd.

Floyd Mayweather senior is number 2

About as likely as being hit by an asterfloyd.

Never heard of Roger Floyd - could you mean Raymond Floyd - multiple major & tournament winner. Also not sure about the inclusion of Floyd Landis after his doping issues.

You are too kind, Tino.

Balls you're absolutely right Eye, as someone who has zero tolerance on doping in sport will have to remove Landis. Cannot see Mayweather being happy sharing a top ten with a drugs cheat. Bad news for him, good news for Floyd's barbershop which makes an unexpected appearance in the top ten.

I've no idea who Flyod Dixon but hes hardly good enough to take up 2 spots in your elite list?

He is number nine, reads in descending order Eye

Oh for pity's sake, really not done very well on that list have I?

My top 20:

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pink Floyd
Floyd Patterson
Floyd Landis
Charles Arthur 'Pretty Boy' Floyd
Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Floyd Cramer
Keith Floyd
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Roger Floyd
Floyd Collins
Raymond Floyd
Sir Henry Floyd
Floyd Johnson
Gavin Floyd
Eddie Floyd
Tim Floyd
Floyd Dixon
Michael Floyd
Chris Floyd

As the "owner" of the list, I want to endorse the removal of Floyd Landis then. Good shout Eyetoldyouso.

Rowley, please update the list in light of the above.

Guys, your help has been immeasurable in creating our "Best ever Floyd" list and I feel honoured that you gave it the respect it deserves.

I feel a bit emotional actually.

Right if for no other reason than to put this to bed put in Basketball player Sleepy Floyd, no idea who he is but has a funny name.

Good effort Scott, but I would still like Floyd's barbershop to be in there.

Keith Floyd
Roger Floyd
Eddie Floyd
Floyd Mayweather
Sleepy Floyd
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Floyd Dixon
Floyd Johnson
Floyd's Barber Shop
Gavin Floyd

Edited to remove drugs cheat and to reflect my idiocy on the original list

Good list Scott but would put Eddie Floyd higher, the man is a soul legend.

Being a boxing forum but mainly to wreck your head a bit more you have to have Flyod Patterson in there?

You're right Paperbag, god this is harder than it seemed at first, right Gavin Floyd can do one, Patterson is in.

straight up, i haven't even looked but i bet Mayweather's number 1

Rowley mentioned him earlier but then inexplicably removed him from the list. Strange.

Your right...Floyd Mayweather the best boxer out there...Mitchell never made the list though doubt he even makes the British list either

I'm really sorry but there is no famous golfer called Roger Floyd. It is Raymond Floyd and he is very famous and very talented and very deserving in any list of ATG Floyds.

Damn, I knew Raymond Floyd and embarrassingly put him below the fabricated golfer...

Lloyd cole
david lloyd
john lloyd

oh, top 10 floyds? damn, be back in a minute.

Eddie Floyd
Floyd Patterson
Floyd Mayweather
Sleepy Floyd
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Floyd Dixon
Floyd Johnson
Floyd's Barber Shop


Right think that is it, Raymond is now called Raymond not Roger, Floyd Dixon is only on there once and Patterson is included, if it is wrong now feel free not to point it out to me.
