The bottom line is Mayweather has created a personality that stirs up extreme emotions one way or the other either you love him or you hate him, and from a financial outlook this has been genuis and done wonders for his profit margin but has made it impossible to accurately judge his boxing prowless. Those who love him will tell you hes the greatest to ever lace them up and those who hate him will tell you hes an overrated cherry picker and in like most instances where extremes are involved the truth lies somwehere in the middle, but mayweather himself does possess the ability to solidify his claim as being one of the all time greats by choosing the dangerous route as an ending to his carreer and with this route there are no gauruntees and this route starts with manny paquiao and ends with paul williams. If Mayweather chooses to fight these to guys and gives up some of the advantages in terms of weight and gloves and ring size and comes out victorious which he does have the ability to do it will be really hard to deny his greatness, and by the way id love to see a mosley fight in between, I personally dont think a cotto fight would be to interesting i could see mayweather picking him apart pretty easily on route to a ud but all the others ones are a toss up... any thoughts
Wow and you can make that case for just about any and every fighter currently or formerly active. Quite an eye opening thesis my good sir.
