How can you possibly have Floyd as the GOAT he isn't top 10 probobly top 20 but thats it, nowhere near SRR Ali Armstrong, Leonard, RJJ, Pacquiao ranks higher because he won belts in 8 weights and has a better resume, compare Floyd and Pacquiao have a couple of similar opponents so let's take top 5 different opponents for Mayweather, Hernandez, Corrales, Judah, Canelo, Castillo, compare that to Pac's different opponents, Barrera, Morales, Bradley ( he was robbed to me that counts as a win) Ledwaba, Margarito, also look at similar opponents Pac beat Hatton better, beat ODLH better, beat Cotto better, Mayweather of course has beaten JMM much more convincing but for my money PAc has a better record and of course a belt holder in 8 weights. Floyd has also chosen some shcking opponents in the past, Baldomir, Ortiz,Corley, Brussels, Guerrero, possibly Khan now. Face it Floyd is nowhere near the GOAT in terms of skill yes top 10 but his resume and his history of cherry picking ranks him outside.
Mayweather not only beat jmm he made a mug of him, that was a great win on the cv and done in real style.
If he fights khan next which looks likely he will need a more dangerous opposition in sept I think poss either Martinez or ggg at 154 then poss Garcia next then broner finishes his contract and leaves door open for a huge payday final hoorah too take him to 50-0
Because Mayweather looks world champions look like amateurs. You want him to get beat up and overcome like Rocky did. If Rocky was a WW and took on Mayweather, he wouldn't land a punch and May would breeze to a UD. The funny thing is, people discredit Mayweather for fighting guys he can easily beat. I do it too. "He's fighting ANOTHER come forward slugger? Great." It's so easy to forget how much of a legend Hatton or Cotto is when they are matched up with Money.
@Clydebank Blitz, If Mayweather was fighting in the era of Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Hagler, Benitez etc. There is no way he would have that 0. Mayweather has never beat a great fighter in their prime so he can no way be considered in the top 20 never mind him being the GOAT. It's easy for him looking good against the level of guys he's been fighting. Duran, Leonard and Hearns would have destroyed all the guy's on Mayweathers record. Imagine what Hearns would have done to Alvarez. KO1 Floyds a great talent fighting in an average era.
