Floyd Mayweather Junior - his place in history?

Greatest of all-time at 130, no where near top 5 at 135 though, top 35 p4p of all-time.

 

I agree.

As an Anglo Aussie I believe I'm as objective as anyone when it comes to international fighters and it's obvious to me that there's plenty of clowns that post on ESB that can't see Floyd's greatness through their emotional bias.

PBF is P4P No.2 in the modern era only behind the great RJJ. Top 20 P4P all time.

What's even more insane is that the majority of these "Mayweather haters" will rave on about the greatness of Joe Calzaghe, who fought a host of protected species (as well as being one himself thanks to his "promoter" and increasingly wealthy team) and has never fought the calibre of opposition that PBF has.

Floyd was a champion at 130lbs before going on to beat Hatton and Judah at 147 and Dela Hoya at 154 !!!

What was Calzaghe's defining moment? Kessler or the 43 year old Hopkins ???

Get off the pipe peoples...

 

Top 130 Fighter ever. Didnt establish himself at the higher weights to be ranked there but did fight some quality opponents. Top 30 P4P for me.

 

may could never co Cotto to big to strong, mays hands are gone

 

He'll go down as the greatest manager ever.

 

I don't think duran kills Floyd. Yes I believe he beats him, but not kills him. I don't see anyone killing Floyd -- he is too good of a boxer, his defense would not allow that. I believe Floyd has a chance to beat him, in all honesty. But I would favor Duran on account of Floyd's first fight with Castillo, one I believe he won. But I have to think about Esteban de jesus. Floyd is a much better fighter than him and has a quicker, better left hook. But again I favor Duran.

 

antonio freakin margarito

 

130 he fought everyone, dominated in great fashion. I was a big fan of his back then. People were all talking about Zab Judah at the time, I knew better.

He is to 130 what RJJ is the 168 -- Period

 

Its not all about the resume ... he's as complete of a fighter as you'll find ... you never seen him with more than a bloody lip after a fight.

Every decision he won was unanimous ...

He's never came close to losing a fight ... he's like Tiger Woods, Roger Feder, and Kobe Bryant ... leaders of the new school ...

Those guys are being considered the greatest in their respective fields during their generations ... and once its all said and done they will be.

Floyd is no different ... look at the way he fought ... look at precise he was (not talking about compubox) ... his accurracy ... his movements ...

 

There will be a lot of unanswered questions but he is an All Time Great.

 

Damn straight.
