Floyd Mayweather - The Best Ever?

I don't think Floyd can be considered the best ever until he moves up a weight class.

 

Hating on Guerrero for being a titlist in 4 divisons an a champ in 2 is stupid especially when you consider all the paper titlist that are barley even real champs in one divison being overrated Lara, Provodnikov, Thurman, Quillin, Rios, ect..get hyped more and have done less..right now Guerrero would be Thurmans Best win Porter, Khan, and a lot of the fighters around WW who are trying to make a name now.

Where they all ultimately end up remains to be seen take Ortiz for example I no longer give to much credit for that win seeing how he has fallen, Guerrero could rise or fall I could see Guerrero stopping Khan if they fought next that would be a quality win just like if Maidana-Thurman comes off Maidana would be a step up in class and could beat Thurman. Maidana is an established champ Thurman is trying to establish himself now.

 

Why do some of you doubt Floyd, he has beat over 20 champions and he generally does it in dominant fashion. I don't see how anyone can argue that his record and resume is not one of if not the best of this era...

 

Roy jones, despite getting obliterated later in his career, is a much better fighter and won in spectacular fashion, Floyd just wins. He's certainly great, but there is better.

 

This is the point that never seems to get addressed. If you look at his opponents over the last eight years all except one have bean beaten by other people as well and in the majority of cases in a more decisive than Floyd has beaten them. Yet some people seem to give him a good chance against the very best ever.



Exception to this being Alvarez who only has the one loss on his record
but a fight with Austin Trout that could have been scored either way with fair judges.

 

As frank sinatra said, i did it my way. Thats what pisses the keyboard warriors off! DID MARVIN FIGHT MICHAEL SPINKS WHO WAS 1 DIVISION UP?

 

I like Floyd and he isn't even close to being TBE. Top 20 probably, best of his era for sure, not TBE.

 

If Floyd moves up and beats Cotto for the MW title, then fights and beats Murray, I would rank him top 25 all time.

 

If Floyd moved up and unified MW with no catchweights, where would that put him?

 

If he was the best of the best, does he fight and beat the best?

 

I think Floyd is one of the best ever.

I would very bet against him in a fight against any of the champions from any era of boxing. He is the total package.

IMO one of the best ever. Resume has some holes though but in terms of ability he is unmatched.
