    Floyd Mayweather Jr, TBE, 50-0, one of best to ever grace the ring and put on a pair of gloves. Unreal performances, #1 of the era, top 5-10 atg

    Roger - World champion, contributions as one of the best/greatest trainers

    Floyd Sr - Contributions as one of the best/greatest trainers

    Jeff - Contributions to the game and of course, one of the best trainers.

    I don’t see how Jeff gets in. Obviously Floyd gets in first ballot, and I guess you could make a decent argument for Roger and Floyd Sr.

    More like 25-30

    Floyd's top 10-15 for me. So is Pac.

    12 decades of boxing, floyd and pac ruled in 2 of them. Hard to not have them in the top 15 unless you got a strong bias towards the older generation. Its just a case of statistics.

    Floyd Mayweather is a 1st ballot Hall of Fame kinda fighter and a sure bet for the top 5 ATG rankings.

    Floyd, Jr. - of course; Floyd, Sr. - arguably as a trainer, I would say no. Roger - yes. People today don't remember how good he was as a fighter; Jeff - no ****ing way.

    Floyd made a career of running and spoiling in the ring, showing no shame. Let's not forget.

    Not particularly, depends on criteria. Résumé automatically favours old school fighters because they fought more.
    I'd you do it off skill then I'd have Floyd in the top 25. But not Pac.
    If you do it off statistics they have a case, but statistics have been watered down since they're more belts, weights and compubox
    If you do it on moving up/ beating fighters bigger than you then Neither has a case for top 10.
    Floyd has a case for top 20 with all of them together.

    But for me using a mixture of all but skill, which I have a separate list for, they come at between 25 and 30.

    Name 25 fights were Floyd ran in. That's 50%! That would mean the other 50% he fought or ko'd his opponent. Running to me is staying defensive without any intention of developing an offense. Floyd out threw and out landed most everyone he faced. He moved, but mainly to disrupt his opponents offense or position himself offensively.

    ROFLMAO Who in the world did the Mayweathers ever train ???
    But Floyd as one of TBE & #1 0f the era ??? One of the best MANUFACTURED boxers maybe. If only he'd been blessed with a set that matched his natural talent. he could have been great
