    Dude Canelo was and still is the #1JMW is very likely going to become Lineal MW Champ this year and is on his way to a HOF career so if Mayweather's best win came at 38 vs a potential HOFer on his way up that's not to bad.

    What great champ can you name outside of Hopkins was still beating Prime Champ's at close to 40yrs old.

    If you're comfortable calling Mayweather an inner circle great because he beat 22 year old Canelo then go ahead. I won't be....

    How can you say Boxing scholars don't rate Mayweather as an ATG when in 07" after Hoya before he fought Hatton they has him as the 48th best fighter all time and in 14" they had him as the 12th best fighter in 70+ yrs.

    Canelo is one of many win's, a guy like Carlos Hernandez is a top 5 win on Morales resume yet doesn't even rate on Mayweather's.

    Canelo would beat the living **** out of both Pacqiauos on the same night.

    How do you rip Mayweather's win's then name fighter's who aren't as good as the win's he already has as a measuring point?

    Gladly, once you've provided your opinions on 50 better fighters than Floyd. Afterall I did ask you first.

    I will be waiting Frog!:lol:

    But im rather bored of your antics now, youre making silly statements and when called upon it question the posters who ask you to provide substance. Clearly this is something that you lack, along with integrity and credibility. Oh pac would be so ashamed, so ashamed.
