    You seem a big time lover of alphabet crap (Mayweather has been World Champion in one division (Welterweight)...

    So with that in mind I'm suprised you picked out Carpentier; he is the King of alphabet crap....

    A one division World Champion (175)

    A three division World title claimant (160, 175 and Heavyweight)

    A five division European Champion/claimant (135, 147, 160, 175 and Heavyweight)

    A six division French Champion (126, 135, 147, 160, 175 and Heavyweight)

    And a two division alleged French Champion (112 and 118.)

    He was the King of alphabet crap, and he did all this in an era of only eight divisions and maybe six/seven recognized alphabet organizations...

    Imagine the stats if he was around today with 17 divisons and 26 letters in my/our alphabet... ;)

    no one can do it...they just come up with a bunch of overrated fighters from the 1910s with 2 title defenses, a bunch of guys who lost when they left their weight drained weight class, and then 15-20 who have a legit case to having accomplished more.

    He was undisputed at 130, 135, and 147.

    When PBF wins a title at 40+, then you can say he's done more than Big George.

    That is almost impossible in this day and age... he was World Champion in one; Welterweight.

    In fairness to Mayweather, he was acknowledged as the champion at 130lbs, particularly after defeating a reigning titleholder in Corrales in what was essentially a partial unification.

    His claim at 135lbs was pretty solid after he defeated the fighter who was regarded as the best in the division (and not by a little) in Castillo.

    And, he's legit at 147lbs.

    He's got the right to claim world championship status in three divisions.

    Mayweather would be a Top 10 ATG if he beat the Pavlik/Taylor winner at 160/168, the Calzaghe/Kessler winner at 168, and the Hopkins/Wright winner OR Erdei to be The Man (by public opinion or linear) at 175.

    I guess I shouldn't have used that since you said what will possibly happen, but theoretically it's at least possible.

    His claims at 130 and 135 are *******ized, his legitimate claim is at Welterweight.

    If Mayweather beats Cotto, Hatton and Williams he's ATG material. Infact he's in the upper echelons of ATG, top 20 easily.

    If Cotto beats mayweather and hatton he's on his way to being ATG, however he'd need to reign for a few years to solidify that status.

    If Hatton beats Cotto, Mayweather and wins a few more mandatory defenses after like Junior Witter, Pauli mallinaggi etc then he's ATG.

    Joe Calzaghe beats Mikkel Kessler and Bernard Hopkins he's all time great. Possibly 2nd best super-middleweight of all time after Roy Jones Jnr.
