    [url]Floyd Mayweather's greatest hits[/url]
    49-0
    Defeated 23 world champions or former world champions
    Dominated the sport for 2 decades
    Lineal champion in four weight divisions
    One of the best defence in the history of the sport
    Had great knockouts and offense back in his Pretty Boy Floyd days

    I think apart from Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson, I don't rank many fighters above him. Where would you place him in the all time rankings for boxing?

    I have Mayweather around top 25, which is excellent for a current era boxer.

    top five boxers have awesome resumes. Floyds has one great opponent, and a handful of very goods. Its not enough to equate with the guys who had a set of ATGs on their resume as a going rate.

    but its still remarkable. outside the top ten for sure.

    He s an ATG for sure
    but not a top 5
    it s not just us fans saying this
    a lot of boxers, ATGs say he s the best of this era , but not a Top 5 and definetly not TBE
    thats just marketing, he s a TBE at that FOR SURE, smart guy in this game no doubt

    One great opponent?
    Manny Pacquiao
    Shane Mosley
    Juan Marquez
    Arturo Gatti
    Castillo (one is controversial I know)
    Undefeated Ricky Hatton
    Undefeated Canelo Alvarez

    they might not be in their primes at the time, but these are just a few of his impressive wins

    How is he a drug cheat? And no he did not lose to any of them (except Castillo)
    How can he lose to Pacquiao when he barely landed any shots?
    Even if he did lose all those fights you listed, so what?
    Pacquiao, Ali, Tyson all have more losses.
    Being undefeated isn't the only reason Floyd is so great

    He was the best to ever play this game.
    I mean business and smarts. He's definitely the best ever in that regard, and that's what he said TBE meant.

    agreed. I think he also means he is the best boxer ever (which i think is false)

    this is a the handful of very good opponents I referred to, plus one ATG (Manny). okay you have Mosley and Gatti there as HoF too, I didn't figure that in.
