    Of course he is.

    Floyd is a genuine ATG fighter, but some of his fans aren't happy with that and peddle the idea he's the best ever, which is nonsense.

    He's got a great resume, but he's the best matched fighter in history I think.

    From the JLC rematch till his retirement there's a question about everyone he fought.

    Yes, but he's still one of the greats, just not the greatest (SRR holds that title for me).

    I think your choice of options will give a biased perspective. I don't think he is overrated, but far from the best ever. Calling Floyd the best ever is not actually the majority opinion in the slightest.

    Yes Black clouds of suspicion hang over Floyd's head but he avoids them with help. Other had their careers ruined & good name tarnished by SUSPICION & no proof of wrong doing

    If Floyd always had legitimate wins when he received "Vegas" decisions no one would complain, but he didn't did he. ?? And the whole boxing fraternity know it

    I wonder if any of the rabid Flo Mos will attempt to deny a word you've posted?? I doubt it if they did they'd not be telling the truth as we all know

    He's an ATG so no, he's not overrated. He had a rabid fanbase who took it too far, but that's normal for a fanbase.

    Pretty much every top fighter is overrated by their fans. Just look at all the people who refuse to see the light with Loma. They will never let it go no matter how many times he loses.

    Who seriously calls him the best ever, though? TBE is a promotional moniker.

    Nevermind the fact that the poll itself is dishonest as hell, and the thread simple repackaged garbarge from the same poster.

    There's no way the question in the poll is literally just "does Mayweather overrate himself?"

    Of course he does, every boxer does :lol:
