Tough question HDT as I wasn't around when the historic greats of the sport were fighting - the likes of Ali, Foreman, Frazier...but being around towards the end of Tyson's reign as a dominant fighter I thought he was up there until his forgettable fight with Evander Holyfield...I mean just have a look out this clip with a bunch of his great knock-out bouts over the years:
Then you have Aussies like Fenech who I heard was a good fighter but a bit before my time so I never saw box in his prime but for me Kostya" Tszyu is someone I hold in great esteem - coming over here from the oppressive shackles of Russia he became a multiple light welterweight...just a shame he lost that fight and his belt to Ricky Hatton. But I guess all great champions can't stay on top forever and meet their match eventually...

Sort of fighting in different weight divisions - but you have to go for Floyd based on that comparison and also especially when you consider the calibre of fighters that they have been up against to make their name in boxing with Mundine more inclined to take on the lesser knowns.
