In my books he is definatelly top 15. How many guys in the history were P4P kings for such a long time?? He probably is right now in top 10. After he beats Cotto is definatelly top 10, and if he beats 1 or 2 more top welters and retires undefeated he will definitelly go down in the books as one of top 5 atg.
For me he's now 14 in my list, IF he beats Cotto he would be in the top 6. On skill. He's a **** but he is one of them fighters who make your hair on back of neck stand up because youre witnessing brilliance. HE HAS TO FIGHT MIGUEL THOUGH, TO PROVE HE IS, IM SORRY BUT HE HAS TO.(I think he'd take a MD)
Top30. So far, Mayweather has done what Whitaker couldn't do.....dominate, cut and then knock out another elite fighter. If he beats Cotto...Top15, which is the creme de la creme.
Top 20 for sure maybe top 15 but I think he needs maybe a win vs a Cotto,Mosley,Forrest or Williams or one last big challenge.
Top 20. If he beats Cotto he jumps to top 15. Beating Williams, although not a big name will show he can deal with ANY style including a huge height handicap, I would put him top 8.
Havent thoroughly put it on paper but I would guess he falls somewhere between 15-20 on my list. Now if he beats Cotto.....
probably top 15-20 right now....but he can still go higher on my list if he beat Cotto or better yet Williams....
