It's actually a great game to play... loved it at school, that said though, I can't imagine I would have enjoyed it as much if I was playing people who were actually good at it.Tried to get into watching it during the Jordan era, but just couldn't.
What do you think about putting 'Money' in this category. I do regard him as one of the greatest - but what if he did fight in an era of a Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran - correct me if I'm wrong - before my time; however didn't these guys bounce around from weight class to weight class too? i.e. welterweight to middleweight? So it would have been possible for Money to come across their paths?
I dunno, his resume is pretty good, I guess the thing that will always count against him when it comes to nostalgia, is he wasn't really in any wars like those guys were, so if you haven't got a great catalogue of back fights for people to look back on then you might get overlooked a bit. Maybe you could say he was just too good, or maybe you could say that maybe he just caught fighters at the right time. Well that debate I'm sure will rage on for years. Probably in 10 or so years people will become a bit more objective about where he stands, but it is so hard to compare guys from different eras.
I think all those guys were naturally bigger in weight than Floyd, but as you say they did fight at multiple weights so they could have theoretically met except for Hagler who was always middleweight bit like GGG, Floyd never quite got up to that weight.
