Do you consider Floyd Mayweather to be The Best Ever?

I can rationalize him at any point between those two numbers, I can't fit him anywhere under 20

 

He's got a case for being TBE in the 130lb division.

Overall, nah. Can think of at least 15 guys who I think clearly have better cases; and that number probably goes as high as 20-25.

 

Another reason why he only wanted to fight in Vegas The NSAC covered his butt

 

Watch the video if the interview after the fight is still on it you'll see it for yourself. Little Baby Floyd crying because Tony Weekes didn't protect him from nasty Marcos Maidana. Some TBE huh

 

After reading this my friend I think its YOU that needs to study boxing. Floyd lost BOTH JLC 1 & Maidana1 but as usual the Vegas judges gave him the decisions

 

No, but he's pretty close.

I'd have Duran, Robinson, Leonard, Charles and Moore as my top five. Shortly after that, I'd have Pep, Jones & Whitaker, Mayweather belongs in that second group IMO. Pacquiao and Armstrong fall just shortly after that.

 

Yes in some catagories.

 

Mayweather is one of the best defensive fighters ever..one of the best technicians and student of the sport..He lacks other aspects that make a fighter great .. such as power , agressivenes , knockout percentage .
He always thinks defense first.. so he is not a spectacle to watch..but other than that he managed to had a zero loss record..
controversial by many..
Many think he definately lost to dela hoya and to maidana(1st fight)

 

Bro if you think Money May was a cheater, he should be one of your favorites. Aren’t you a huge Margarito fan?

 

No , its Sugar Ray Robinson.

 

How anyone can say with a straight face that Floyd really won either fight doesn't know boxing PERIOD!!
That's my take , & a hell of a lot more boxing folk too.

 

Firstly Yes I'm a huge Margarito fan & friend & I'm not ashamed to say it. But as for Floyd?
No way in hell could I ever support him. He's a proven cheater, peds abuser, woman beater, You name it, he's done it, he's everything I detest in a person . IV Gate proved it. The NSAC tried to cover his butt with the " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong" BS statement but when you realize it was THREE of the NSAC's own rules regarding Dehydration treatment that he broke you see that really theyre not much better than he is are they????
Now you boring Margarito haters. How many times have I asked you all to submit one iota of proof that Antonio ever did anything wrong. Not one person has come up with anything.
All you get is Plasterito cheated or Margcheato loaded his gloves BS. Its obvious to all that the only reason you attack Margarito, is because he made your hero prove to the world he was absolutely terrified when he saw Antonio standing there. Blabbering like Daffy Duck he was hysterical lol Your TBE really embarrassed himself, the crowd there all saw it,
the fans have seen the videos on the internet too
What happened to the good old US law of " A man is considered innocent unless he is proven guilty in a court of law " ?????????? He was never indicted , all that happened was the CSAC, who are the prosecution in this case, declared " We are refusing to reinstate Mr Margarito's boxing licence in Ca because we SUSPECT!! he may have tried to load his gloves !!. In other words we'll tarnish his good name & ruin his career because we think he's guilty but have no proof
I supported a FIGHTER!!!! You supported Cowardly cheat

 

He's definitely a great, but the greatest? Not for me.

 

Benny or Sugar Ray in your top 5, George?

I assume as the question asks for best, this is a p4p H2H list, rather than based on greatness achieved in their own era? If so, I guess that answers my first question too - Sugar Ray
