After Money beats Mosley, Pacquiao and let's say Berto is he top 3 all time great?

None of your options are realistic stankin nuthugger. If he beats those three then he would be in the top 30s imo, top 20s at most. Mosley isn't in his prime, Pac is a smaller guy and same goes for Bradley. Practically Floyd would be the favorite versus all these guys, although very slight against Pac, so to really impress then he needs to challenge bigger skilled opponents who are in their prime.

I do believe he have the potential to be in the top 10 though, but he have to be willing to test himself and prove what many people assume he should be capable of. Floyd is a great boxer, just wish he would display it on more worthy opponents more often.

 

Somewhere in the 20 - 30 range probably, which is about 10 or so spots higher than where he is right now. He still wouldn't be top 10 though. He'd need to do something crazy to get there, like clean out 147 and then 154.

 

He'd be somewhere in the top 50 i suppose....far from top 10 or top 3.

 

Retiring undefeated after, I wouldnt argue against him being top 10. Probably top 15.

 

Top 3? Hell no. Top 20? Maybe.

 

so because he would be favorate meens he cant be great , you have to be the underdog to be great ?

 

He should get credit for fighting them. But honestly Floyd does not take enough legendary fights to become a legend. To make the top 10 he would have to fight Mosley, Pacquiao, Paul Williams, and win a title at 154. If he were to do that he would be in the top 10. To be in the top 3 he would have to fight Paul Williams, Pacquiao, Mosley, Berto, multiple times.

Sure he might retire undefeated because he beat some great fighters once but if you look at guys like Holyfield, guys like Ali, guys like Robinson, these fighters fought the best fighters in the division multiple times and weren't afraid to lose.

Holyfield did not fight Tyson once, he fought him twice, Bowe twice, Moorer twice, Lewis twice. You have to consider that. I would poor Holyfield in the top 10, and I put him above Ali. I don't think there is any way Floyd Mayweather is greater than Holyfield, or Ali. He's not greater than Sugar Ray Leonard, or Roy Jones Jr, or Bernard Hopkins. He's not even in the top 20 on most peoples lists if they put him on the ATG list at all, honestly he would have to beat Mosley in my opinion to even make the top 20.

 

um, No. Top 30, 20 maybe.

 

I'd put him in the 15-25 range. Probably closer to 25.

Edit: 15-20. If he beats the "immortal" Pacquiao in his prime and remains undefeated, that says a lot.

 

3 hell no my top 3 is Robinson, Armstrong and Pep and I dont think any modern fighter can surpass those men.

 

He'd be top 10 for sure. With Pacq and Mosley, he'd have fought the best opposition at WW.
Many of the really old fighters are overrated BTW. Floyd would mop the floor with most of the legendary WW figures.

 

I voted "Hell no" option BUT to me would be in the 16-25 ATG range.

It also depends on the performance to some degree (not much, but it is a factor for me).

But top 3 - don't be silly. Might as well claim he can walk on water.

 

i voted top ten as its the closest to the truth , if he wins theese fights and retires undefeated he goes to say 13-20 range , only idiots would have him top 3 after this and only even bigger idiots would have him outside the top 50

 

He will be top 10. No matter what he does, they won't place him above that. Only way he gets up there is if he wins a belt in 160, 168, 175, Cruiser and Heavyweight. Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali put the bar up. Also, he is so talented that there would need to be a vast disadvantage for him to be an underdog and have people doubt his chances of winning.
