    Money May.

    Morales is one of my favourite fighters though, absolute class act and a true warrior once inside the ring.

    I did not even vote!

    Morales has more credible oppoents.

    ATG ranking is not based on perception of skills but on who they fought.

    Otherwise, Joan Guzman would be in the top 50.

    Mayweather beat more champions, was dominant longer, won championships in more divisions, and looked better doin it.

    The only reasons *******s pick morales is because morales broke his foot off in pacs ass.

    ATG ranking is also based on longevity, ability, and achievements.

    Does Floyd not have the edge in all three? I think he does.

    This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. The general forum ****ing loves Morales and hates Mayweather (outside of his small but fiercely loyal/undeniably homosexual following). It's actually a wee bit impressive that it's close.

    So what wins that Floyd has rank above Barrera and Pacquiao on his resume?

    Fighters like Corrales and Castillo, among Floyd's many great wins, don't exactly measure up.

    i did a quick count and found that at least 19 pac fans that i know voted for floyd while at least 30 pac fans voted for morales. so if pacquiao fans skewed the poll results by voting for morales, just deduct those votes and we would still have a roughly even poll.

    If you got that shitty resume, you can have longevity. Ability can look good against shitty opposition. Achievement again against shitty opposition.

    Erik is also a 5 division champ (was robbed against Diaz)..........He has dominated boxing longer than Mayweather (been a champ since 1997-2011).........Having the greater victories, his case is fairly solid..........According to Mayweather fans themselves, a faded and weight drained Morales kicked prime Pacquiao's ass (only guy to beat prime Pac, who Mayweather refuses to fight)..........After Pacquaio twice knocked him out, a completely shot Morales then went on to win titles in two more divisions, something no Mexican has ever done..........What miraculous feats does Mayweather have to rival that?..........two black fighters have already won titles in 5 divisions before Floyd (Hearns, Leonard).........Mayweather remains close on this poll on reputation and fanbase alone, he certainly hasn't proved it in the ring

    They arent as good as his wins over Barrera and Pac but they are better then the rest of Morales wins. So is Mosley, Hatton, DLH, ect. 5 weight divisions. More champions beaten. Longer period of dominance ect

    I mean what so hard to understand?

    Well then the fact is Mayweather has achieved more on a quantitative basis, but not qualitatively. Mayweather has beaten more very good opposition than Morales has, but Morales appears to have beaten the greater opposition overall counting those few fights.

    Mayweather's list is laughable compared to that.

    El Terrible > Gayass Floyd
