    I mean, he's a multi-division world champion, he's only been down ONCE in his career, he's 43-0. What more does he have to do?

    Most will probably say yes, I'm not so sure. He has never been in a FOTY, that's not too good. He has not fought anyone for years who was a legit threat. I'd say HOF material.

    He's also been at the top of the p4p rankings for god knows how many years. Whether you love him or you hate him, he is an ATG.

    It's the ultimate stupidity to say no.

    Of course he is.

    FOTY usually involve back-and-forth fights and/or are very competitive. Floyd's not involved in those type of fights because he's better than his opponents by a wide margin. As such, his fights tend to be one-sided. That's not his fault.

    He is an ATG. How high on the list is debatable, but clearly beneath top 10.

    So did the second best heavyweight of all time, to hold on to a title that was worth virtually nothing in the end, yet you wouldn't question him as an ATG. Give me a well structured argument to why Mayweather isn't an ATG.

    He is only the best boxer for the last 20 years. That's all.

    Easy. Since 140 he has fought beatable opposition and retired while 147 was steaming hot. He has beat no one that has not been beaten better.

    Of course not. A Hall of Famer maybe, but an ATG?
