    i think the problem is that that position isn't meant as a knock to mayweather just a testimony to the great fighters ahead of him. there are 20 fighters EVEN better than mayweather, even with those 3 wins

    No he wouldn't have to be any higher than that. 20-30, in that scenario, sounds about right, maybe 20-35. Lotta, lotta good boxers came before him. I'm a fan too.

    when you say "greater" are you referring to skills, accomplishment/accolades or resume?

    the later two to be fair. i can't name off hand 20 fighters with BETTER skills to mayweather. probably equal but not better. i think it's the accomplishments/resume portion that hurts him. skill wise he's damn near perfect and because of that, already rates pretty high
