Do you consider Floyd Mayweather to be The Best Ever?

No but he is still an all time great boxer

Can't fault him for saying it but I disagree

 

No. He's up there though. Could be if he had more competition to prove it against.

 

Why does this same thread get recreated every other month by a board that by in large hates Mayweather

 

He’s up there. The best? No. In the argument? Sure.

 

Best at making money.

Best boxer? Not even close.

 

I have no idea why nearly everyone is denying Floyd's greatness. No one is giving Floyd credit for beating both men and women. He is the perfect predator for today's boxing jungle, it starts with the selection of an opponent, the ring size, the size of the gloves, the catchweight to drain an opponent, and the friendly Vegas judges. Floyd wins fights before he enters the ring. To his credit, Floyd is making millions from his hyped-up workout sessions against influencers and other amateurs. I suspect that soon he will go full-scale carnival where he will go toe to toe with midgets and children.

 

Lomachenko, Crawford, Usyk, Inoue, Beterbiev are better/greater than Floyd and that’s just active fighters. Floyd is somewhere in the top 50. He simply doesn’t have the competition of a Pac-Man or the dominance of a Roy Jones. The high point of his career was beating a green and weight-drained Canelo.

 

Those "bad hands" that's a nice excuse when there's a department in which you just don't shine in compared to your other contemporaries,

Isn't this the guy who injected his hands in every fight which most will tell you is an Illegal advantage In itself:

So much for Mr. Clean the sport

 

Excellent fighter and Top 20 to ever do it but its nearly impossible to displace SRR

 

I mean JLC and Maidana both had a case for winning their 1st fights w Floyd. Its actually not as difficult as you make it out to be.

Floyd was a very special fighter and I was a huge fan but he struggled against rugged fighters who were bigger than him w a tendency to be dirty. Also, they needed to be able to block/avoid Floyds jab. Lots of old school styles wouldve checked some of those boxes and while Floyd obviously wins more than he loses against ATG opponents some of the outcomes would be surprising.

Also, not convinced Floyd beats prime DLH or Mosley

 

Mayweather is one of the best of his era, but he's not even in the conversation as far as the GOAT is concerned.
Mayweather just did'nt look to make the fights at the right time necessary to put him in that conversation as a GOAT candidate.

 

He also would have been more exposed had he actually not deflected & fought more of his opponents in their actual primes for a change, but that's for another discussion.

 

Claims not to be a hater.

Goes on to pull hateful garbage out of his arse. Floyd was not crying after winning Maidana 1 ffs.

I'm not a fan of Floyd the person, but that has arse all to do with his skills.

 

Nonesense. Lomachenko greater than Mayweather ? Beterbiev too ? Even Crawford..... Wtf is you smokin bro

 

Both JLC and Maidana had cases for 7-5 wins and very strong cases for at least draws in 1st fights.

This isnt the board for PBC deepthroating. Things are more objective here. Try sherdog or pbc if you want to slob on Floyd's knob
