I disagree. Why would a Pac victory do anything? (For Mayweather) Unless PBF was to somehow blow him (Pac) out similar to what Pac did to Hatton. anything less would be a complete fail on Mayweather's part. IMO
That's why I said at least one of the greatest. He needs to fight the top dogs to be considered THE BEST. Not just pacman but of course Mosley and Cotto. We can even throw williams in there.
PBF's boxing ability isn't that interesting really. Nothing new, though he used the Philly shell more effectively than his father. We commend him for his shoulder roll, punch accuracy and ring intelligence. Overall, he's like a caricature of what we would draw if we were asked to sketch a fighter who would win 12 rounds regardless of the opponent's style. That is putting defense above all else and making the other fighter look bad for a decision win. If the opponent is easy to hit, then go ahead and KO him. If he's dangerous, turtle yourself, let him tire out, and expose him in the later rounds. Sure, PBF can win against most styles but it doesn't make one the greatest. He has to have a human interest story, meaningful rivalries, classic fights and love from the nostalgic boxing fans. He's got great talent, I just hope he uses it.
i'm a big mayweather fan, he's my favorite fighter but anyone that knows anything about boxing knows he's not even top 10
Best and most skilled of his generation - yes!!!! Greatest ever..no, hasnt done enough, he'd have 2 clean out the ww division before he would be looked at as close 2 bein the greatest
i wait until his career is over for real before i decide as of now no. He got the potential if he beats JMM, Pac, Cotto, and Shane.
