Is Floyd Mayweather "easily" the best fighter of the past 30 years?

Is he ****.

 

Mayweather is a great defensive fighter, but not the best fighter in the last 30 years.

 

Nope I believe a one Roy Jones Jr. is easily better plus he isnt better than Leonard either I dont care how much you love Mays defense he isnt better than those two.

Roy Jones is legend

 

True, but the fighters division has nothing to do with a P4P rating. Castillo, DLH, and Baldomir were not on very many P4P lists on any websites, media, and most likely many fans (Castillo most likely should have been).

We can argue this point based on accomplishments, but I feel accomplishments should have context. And some of Mayweather's accomplishments are dubious, though attractive when looked at on the surface. Leonard won titles in as many weight classes while facing higher opposition, Whitaker in one less, Jones in one less while scaling more weight classes. That's why I feel accomplishments need context and must be looked at individually to be judged.

Anyone care to follow up? I have to finish a paper lol, and not sure I can continue the discussion.

 

I've made a thread on this clown before.

 

30 years?
So that goes back to 78?
Are these people serious?
