    Mayweather is top 5 atg, not less than top 10 under any circumstance. I've never watched something like him, there is not a sinlge part of boxing that he did not master. We were so so lucky to watch him fighting live.

    Most don’t get disqualified so it’s not really lucky, so not a big deal.

    Tyson without Cus's death would have been the GOAT at heavy.

    Muhammad Ali's record should really be something like 53-8.

    He also wasn't the greatest human being.

    in that case, since size is just the only factor for you, tyson fury is the absolute greatest of all time? Just because someone is 6'9 270 doesnt make him the best boxer of all time! Half of these heavyweights cant throw a proper jab to save their lives. If size makes someone so much better, why arent cruiserweights highly regarded? they are practically heavyweights during fight night, after rehydration. SMFH to casuals thinking that size is the end all and be all in boxing.

    Man…I can’t tell if everyone’s being sarcastic or honest. Or if there’s some of both, but it’s like the sarcastic ones are in on it and the others aren’t…and that’s the joke.

    Margarito and Cotto who fought each other in 2008 would have beaten Floyd that night if he was either of their opponent.

    In some cases, fighters do rematches because they feel deep down they lost (even though they got the official W) and need to prove to themselves they can really beat that person. For example, Morales vs Espadas. Floyd vs Castillo/Maidana.

    The 24/7 series and shows like it are boring.

    Wonjongkams resume is possibly unmatched by any current fighter. If someone surpasses it, we are talking about one to three guys.

    Many of boxing's disqualifications would be winning tactics if they were performed by the opposing fighter.
