Are some people seriously rating Floyd Mayweather as the best WW ever?

Think I'm bahhumbuggin', huh? Nah, not my style, brother. But when you're factoring in the likes of SRR, SRL, Hearns, Armstrong, Gavilan, Benitez, Ross, McLarnin, Basilio, Walker, Ryan, Rodriguez, Napoles, Griffith, Whitaker, Duran ...It's a massively rich division. Like most eras, we've got some fine fighters, but come on. Our two best may be fighting at welter but they don't have enough done or enough that seemingly can or will be done to put them with those guys.

Had Floyd pro boxed during the 80's. He'll have a hard time getting ranked 4th in WW.

 

There was one idiot here that claimed Floyd's win over Judah alone overlaps everything Pacman has accomplished abover 140lbs.

 

I think Void is the greatest chicken ever! He trained with the chicken in the Rocky movie.

 

10-20 years from now Floyd's ATG rating is going to skyrocket because many are going to believe he's one of the top 3 H2H fighters just cause hes a defensive fighter and still has that 0 but most are going to laugh their ass off when they see what kind of legacy he built himself up.

Im still waiting......:bart

 

I can't even take this thread seriously, it's got to be a wind-up. If someone puts Floyd #1 all time at Welterweight they don't need to get called out on ESB. They need to be committed .

Nobody's ever seriously put him #1 on here......have they? :think

 

o ya for my top 20:yep I forgot about that. I'll make it tomorrow

 

It means his wins down there meant something ,not like his welterweight linear fight against ****ing Baldomir!!!!

 

You are Honestly ****ing joking me with this list.

I have 10 just off the top of my head below.

01. Ray Robinson
02. Ray Leonard
03. Mickey Walker
04. Henry Armstrong
05. Thomas Hearns
06. Kid Gavilan
07. Emile Griffith
08. Jose Napolse
09. Louis Rodriguez
10. Joe Walcott

Mayweather doesnt break 50,

I have him below the likes of Don Curry and way below a Benitez who doesnt make my top 10.

Stop watching fighters from just the past 10 years then Boxrecing the rest.

 

man, you cannot even name 50 welters

 

floyd at WW? no 1?

if WW is wuckyduckyweight, yep, there is good reason to put him at number 1.

 

Well theres only a handful we can work with here...

2005 Sharmba Mitchell- bum, tuneup
2006 Zab Judah- Decent fighter, but other than floyd, he has lost to Zoo, Baldomir, Cotto and Clottey, pretty self explanatory.
2006 Carlos Baldomir- Lineal champion, but a rather weak one
2007 Ricky Hatton- Good win. Above optimal fight weight, but still good.
2009 Juan Manuel Marquez- Really? This guy had no business fighting at this weight.
2010 Shane Mosley- Motivated fighter who is unable to pull the trigger anymore.
