Floyd Mayweather, Jr, has he surpassed the FAB4? Many say yes, what's your take?

Log off and take your troll pills, son.

 

Floyd is the greatest gay boxer in history

 

:rofl

 

only thing that has been confirmed is your fondness for the gay one:hey

 

Yes is the answer

 

No he hasn't. There's no way I can see anyone rate him over SRL or Duran. They just accomplished way too much and took on (and beat,) better competition than Floyd did.

Mayweather's resume is wonderful, and he essentially took on all comers outside of a few guys (Margarito/ Williams and Martinez,) 3 fights I'd favor him winning in. But even had he fought those guys and let say maybe Casamayor and Frietas at 135, I still don't know if he'd rank higher than Duran or Leonard. If he wiped all the divisions clean from SFW to JMW and literally took on everyone, I just think the level of competition pales in comparison to the TOP guys that Leonard and Duran fought.

In Leonard's case, even though he fought about 10 less pro fights than Mayweather and only went up north of his original weight class 7 times (compared to FLoyd that fought nearly half his pro fights north of where he started at SFW,) he beat Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez and a young in-prime Thomas Hearns in one of the greatest come from behind victories the sport has ever seen. He capped off his amazing career by beating a somewhat past his prime but still very dangerous Marvelous Hagler.

As for Duran, everyone knows his story- the guy was arguably the greatest LW ever (really the argument is between him and Benny,) and what he did in the 1980's was nothing short of incredible, especially given the fact he had over 70 fights before he even stepped into the ring with Leonard in 1980.

While I don't rate Davey Moore that highly (especially given how green he was when he fought Roberto,) I do rate Barkley pretty highly and his win over a prime Ray leonard has to be one of the greatest victories by any fighter in the sport.

I personally have Hearns in my top 30 of all time and I have Hagler somewhere in the high teens. I have Mayweather Jr inside my top 20 but I just can't see an honest debate on how he'd be able to crack the top 10. That's reserved for guys with 200 or 300 bouts under their resumes such as Greb, Armstrong and RObinson and for a few of the more contemporary fighters such as Leonard and Duran.

There's no shame in that.

 

I must say that I would have loved to have seen ANY version of Mayweather in with any of the prime Fab 4. But we all know that that never would have happened.

 

Fair, unbiased post. Nice job, E!

 

Floyd's win over Baldomir >>> anthing the FAB4 have ever done combined

 

He belongs in that company....

 

i can confirm that MVC is well past prime.

 

No way man, I mean, I would say he would probably be able to UD three of them, but Ringo was a big man and had a great engine on him. He would throw way too many punches to able to be beaten by the run and potshot style.

 

MVC drinks Floyd Mayweather's sperm instead of milk.
