    Explain how mayweather beat, Hatton, mosley and JMM when they were all regarded as p4p 3 at their their time of said spanking!

    Hell even cotto was up their in the p4p list.

    Beating anyone would put him above pbf for you. You rank Oscar higher than pbf as well which is ridiculous.

    Very few knowledgeable boxing fans would rank him in the top ten all time. No need to **** on his resume to justify that.

    this kid is a clown,
    you are mixing and matching chit that happened a FEW years apart.

    wtf are you talking about ? floyd OFFERED pac the 50/50 AND relented on the testing giving pac 2 friggin weeks off from blood tests, was the simple blood test REALLY going to affect him for TWO WEEKS ?

    meat, the 40 M offer was in 2012 AFTER pac suffered more LOSSES. you literally pull BS out of your **** to try and help your agenda. all it does is make you look like a pacult FOOL

    Mayweather rates higher than Oscar for me, but I respect nobody more than Oscar. He fought everybody anytime anywhere.

    With questionable fight choices and retirement in between.

    But

    To answer the question. Undoubtedly Floyd is one of the All time greats.

    When he was offered Margarito fight he was also offered Baldomir for more money and Baldomir had the world titles at 147 both WBC and linear. He beat Baldomir then Margarito was beaten and Floyd took care of Oscar. Should he have fought Margarito instead of Oscar De La Hoya

    People seriously don't like Mayweather if you have to ask this question. The dude will have beaten every top Hof worthy Champ of this era after May 2nd, only one he didn't get was Tyszu.

    There is no fight since 2000 that anyone would pick to beat the guy, and really historian's rate Floyd higher than Manny.

    I'll reference two point in 07" a list of historian's rated who they thought were the top 50 fighters of all time Mayweather was #48 this is before Hatton. In 2015 again they rated the 20 best fighter's since 1940 Mayweather was #12. Both time's Manny didn't even make the discussion.

    And his signature career defining win is none other than 22 year old Canelo Alvarez.

    He is an ATG.

    Top10 ATG if he beats Pacman.

    floyd is not one of the top 50 greatest boxers. top 100? possible. boxing has been around for over 100 years. mayweather's best wins are canelo, corrales, gatti, and baldomir.......c'mon now.
