    He started in 1996-When RJJ was dominating in 2003-2004 they were saying 16 years.

    dominance? Handpicking opponents is not dominant. Hagler in his middleweight reign from 1980-1987 was dominant. And he fought 3 greats in that time.

    Mayweather is an amazing boxer... no one disputes that. I just don't know why you have to sing it from the roof tops every day. YOU YOURSELVES are not the ones with the talent or money that he has

    Solid - Yes. But nothing speaks ATG with that shitty resume. Of course you want to include years past his prime ODLH, Mosley, and a lightweight JMM to garnish it, otherwise, it is shittier. It is like including RJJ and Bernard Hopkins (which is actually more credible because Hopkins became a champion after the Calzaghe fight) in Calzaghe's resume.

    Gatti?

    Zab Judah?

    Fighting once every 18 months is not dominating the sport. I feel so sorry for the uneducated Mayweather fans.

    Climbing weight classes, beating champions and keeping a 0 on your record from then to now sounds like dominace to me.

    There's more to it than just remaining undefeated. The undefeated element of the legacy is not the most important statistic in all. Here we have a fighter who was a standout amateur fighter. Multi time national amateur champion, first American to defeat a Cuban in the Olympics in nearly 20 years, 1996 Bronze Medalist, World Champion in 18 months as a pro, Multi-Time Multi-Division Lineal Champion, highest connect pct. in boxing history, lowest pct. landed on in boxing history, oh...by the way, he's undefeated. Both Manny and Floyd have huge accomplishments but one is done from a brilliant standpoint while the other's is based on brute force and sheer will. Nevermind the cherry picking and PED accusations. On paper it looks impressive though.
