    I will make a public poll in a few days, and then we can compare results.

    Great skills and talent. Really **** resume, and in 20 years time it will be even shitter. People will look at the names and not recognise many.

    None of the fights are talking points either. That is how fights get carried down the generations. Mayweather has never been in a legendary fight where you had no idea who was going to win and there was electricity in the air. I wouldn't rewatch a single one of his fights.

    Again I'm not disputing his talent, but he has the opportunity to really prove now how good he is:

    It all depends what he does from here...

    His boxing talent/skills are some of the best the sport has ever seen. He has won a world tittle/championship in 5 divisions and is regaurded by some as the best ever at one of them (130). His critics say that he dose not take real chalanges. In truth there only 3 boxers who would be a real thret to him. 1. Manny Pacquiao who compertes with Floyd Mayweather for the curent p4p #1 spot. Pacquiao has only recently been boxing at or near 147. 2. Shane Mosley who has been boxing at 147-154 for some time now and who on his best night has in my opinion the best chance of beating Mayweather. I still favor Mayweather though. Mosley is in my opinion also what I call a hot & cold boxer. Meaning that he dose not allways bring his "A" gamewhich has resulted in losses and missed opertunties. 3. Paul Williams he is a tall active boxer but he seemes to be boxing more in the 154-160 range these days. Like Pacquiao Williams agrisive style would serve him well in the early going but as a fight wore on Mayweather would take over. Their agrisive style will give Mayweather countering oppertunites. In truth I think that Mayweather should start to look in to fighting for 154 and 160 tittles/championships there are some good boxers at 154 right now and for the most part Mayweather would be the smaller man. This being said if he were to retire right now. I would have him in my top 15 easly. If he beats Pacquaio and I think he will a strong case can be made for top 10. If he beats Pacquaio, the Mosley/Berto winnerhe has an even better case for top 10. Should he after that win tittles/championships at 154 and or 160 a case can be made for top 5.

    Presidential elections in the US don't involve open polls where voter's identities are revealed. Are you saying that system doesn't reflect the truth? If so, do you question whether Obama really won?

    People here so insecure that they want to know who voted what so they can attack them on their personal opinions if it doesn't match their thinking. :lol: Grow up!

    I voted mid-level ATG for Floyd. So there, stop crying already! :| Your balloon is in the mail.
