    What possible explanation is there-for NOT having Mayweather on there?
    And, how in the World can Tyson Fury-be ahead of Floyd Mayweather?
    Let alone, naming Fury twice; Without naming Floyd Mayweather, or Pernell Whittaker, once; And, especially, if you have J.C. Chavez on there?

    The fact that so many of these lists-don’t even have Mayweather in the Top 10-15, let alone at/near the Top…
    is genuinely disappointing.

    Imagine if it was common for people not to have Michael Jordan on a list of “10 Greatest Basketball Players ever”.

    For whatever reason: People simply refuse to accept reality when it comes to Floyd Mayweather.

    Its the opposite when people repeat his tbe nonsense to be honest. Also, boxing has a vast history. Floyd is too much of a cherrypicker and has too many asteriks to be in the discussion.
    He's still an ATG though but boxing has many great fighters.

    I’ve heard 500 different people say “Floyd cherry picked his opponents”, 500 different times;
    Yet, not a single person-has given me a single logical argument-for how/why that claim-makes any sense, whatsoever.

    Sugar Ray Robinson beat 18 Different Opponents-that were Ranked Top 5 by The Ring-at the time of their Fight;
    18.
    Do you know how many different Top 5 Opponents-Floyd Mayweather beat?

    Mayweather beat 20.
    Mayweather beat more different Top 5 Opponents-than Sugar Ray Robinson;
    And, Floyd beat that many-in 50 Fights;
    Robinson had 200.
    Floyd: 20 Different Top Fighters - in 50 Fights.
    SRR: 18 Different Top Fighters - in 200 Fights.
    Robinson had four times as many fights-as Floyd—Yet, Floyd still beat more different Top 5 Opponents than Robinson.

    • Now, let’s compare Mayweather to the Recent Generation:
    Mayweather beat more Pound-For-Pound-Top10 Ranked Opponents - than:
    Canelo, Lomachenko, GGG, Crawford, Spence, Usyk, Inoue, Taylor, Prograis, Thurman, Fury, Charlo, & Beterbiev — Combined.


    Please tell me more about “Floyd’s cherry picked Resume”.
