Is Floyd Mayweather a top 30 all time great

Hearns is more skilled than both of them,Floyd does not have the footmovement at 147 like either of them,and deffinetly not the handspeed and we wont even bring power into the discussion.

 

hopkins is my favorite fighter, but i have to put mayweather over hopkins unless hopkins does something crazy, like beat a klitchsko or something.

 

Na i have to disagree with that.:-(

 

From a STYLE MATCH UP, YES MANNY IS the easiest fight out there in comparison with a Sergio Martinez @ 154-160...BUT GIVE MANNY HIS CREDIT MAN...HE IS ARGUABLY THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD TODAY...Though me and you may not rate him as high as some of these fans he is still Arguably the greatest fighter of this era along with Floyd Mayweather....There is no other test beyond Pacquiao for Floyd, other than maybe a MW title run...

In agreement with you on Floyds legacy however...I mean alot of these people keep sayin "FLOYD NEEDS THE FIGHT MORE FOR HIS LEGACY" ETC ETC....

BUT FLOYD IS ALREADY A PROVEN TOP 35-40 ATG (MAYBE ATG 50 IF YOUR A PAC FAN TRYING TO DOWNPLAY EM)...A VICTORY OVER THE OTHER GREATEST FIGHTER OF THIS ERA JUST MAKES HIS RESUME SO MUCH STRONGER..SAME FOR PAC...ITS NOT LIKE SOME OF THESE Pac fans who say Floyd does little for Pac's legacy etc etc...Thats Bullsh1t...if Pac beat Floyd I believe it does more for his legacy than if Floyd beats Pac...Pac beats floyd and hes proven....Floyd beats pac AND A NEW NAME WILL POP UP...SAME OL STUFF OVER AND OVER...WITH A NEW SET OF FANS ON HERE TALKIN ABOUT "THIS GUY WILL WIN"...

In the end floyd will get beat if he hangs around too long...Problem is I think too long is about 4 years down the road at 37...For now, he just gonna keep gettin the W's as long as he keeps the reflexes and speed

 

Yes, without a doubt

 

yea we'll leave power out:thumbsup..Handspeed dont compare to SRL but i believe Floyd is the faster boxer in comparison with Hearns.....as for footwork...Floyds is up on par with SRL and I believe he is a tad above Tommy...I got both beating Floyd h2h..But that dont change my opinion as far as the footwork being right on par with SRL...maybe not as flashy with it but mos def "technically" superb footwork ...

 

Humm...against Duran Leonard was faster against Hearns,the Hitman was clearly,faster with his feet,and hands and busier doubleling and tripleing up hard jabs on Leonards eyeball all night why Sugar was trying to figure out how to get in,but no He is not as fast as Hearns or Leonard.

 

Tyson, Jones, Sweet P, Leonard etc....

 

floyd hasn't been dominant in any weight class since his little run at 130.

 

I like Arguello over him at 130 to,Floyd took more chances and Alexis would time him lights out!

 

An argument can be made that he is...but that's it...an argument. Personally, I don't think he is quite there yet. I have it top 45.

 

Really? I dont think so. Fighting and beating Pac is the most challenging and rewarding (legacy wise) thing $ could do. I think he is already a top 40, if he beats Pac (which I think he will lose by SD) then he moves in to top 25.

 

Yes top 15 even top 10.

 

By the time he finally retires he will be top 15.

 

I have him top 40,but my problem with him is he doesent match up very well H2H at Welterweight historically for sure and not at 140 either,130 and 135 i still see some guys that can beat him but not very many.
