    Lets be honest here. This guy doesn't get the credit he deserves. If he was to fight Bradley next, we would all pick him to win an easy decision. Peterson would get beaten easy. Cotto, Alvarez, Marquez (already took a 12 round whitewash), Berto, Kirkland etc. All would be beaten.

    After seeing Pac have a hard fight with counter punching JMM, it would take a brave man to put money on him beating Floyd.

    Lets appreciate Mayweather for his in ring ability and give him the credit he deserves - as one of the best of all time.

    i have said this on many a thread, he is one of the best ever, and will beat Pac with ease,

    Pac is shite now, Kell Brook would beat him,

    but Mayweather will go down is history as one of the best ever,

    He's the best of my lifetime. As athletic as Jones, as hard to hit as Toney was, and as ring smart at 25 as BHop is at 45.
    His persona makes him look like a wanna be rapper, and why anyone would rather act like rapper than the p4p no 1 in boxing is beyond me.

    he's a complete and utter wank stain.

    but there's no denying the mans talents.

    he's easily the best of my generation thats for sure (im 30)

    he'll go down as one of the top 5 boxers of all time. possibly even the best

    Yeah he's really displayed those ring smarts against some super adaptable guys and ring generals.

    Best ever? No way at all.

    He will be one of these sportsmen who are appreciated more when they retire (for good). Thinking along the lines of Zidane - he was viewed a great player, whilst he was playing but now he is gone he is viewed as one of the best ever.

    He will be the best since RJJ IF he beats Pacman. A win over Pac at 147 and a win over Martinez at at least 154 massively improves his record, reputation and ranking.

    How many would pick Pac or Martinez to beat him at those weights? Not me, thats for sure.

    He would be competitive with anyone from history from 140-154 and beat the majority quite easily.

    Yeah and obviously has started watching boxing in the last week or so. Or believes everything he hears and cannot make up his own mind. Sorry to the above poster (not Lilo) but one of the most misguided and ignorant posts I have ever seen on this forum.
