    To place Mayweather at Number 1 of all time is beyond laughable, how on earth you can draw that conclusion I don't know.

    Sorry but you have no clue, take SRL for example tell me now who Floyd Mayweather has beaten to even come close to Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Benitez.

    You cannot compare.

    Even the top 50 is laughable.

    People might give Holyfield and RJJ **** for tarnishing their legacy's because of losing fights, but it can also the other way. OK, so Floyd wins his fights, but they are nowhere NEAR the best challenges out there available for, fact.

    When he was down at the lower weights and people were comparing him with Duran, that can't be said anymore due to the opposition he is facing.

    The man is a con artist, simple. And it seem's to be deluded money-hungry people (see broke as **** idiots) that 99% of the time idolize him because of how much he earns.

    Lol @ craney! Mayweather doesn't know how to counter a jab! Oscar was jabbing him at will, yet Floyd was dumbfounded with what do to with him.

    No, didnt have a clue at all did he, no.

    Must have been just me seeing him abuse leaning back with the shoulder out all fight. At one point De La Hoya had Mayweather up against the ropes, throwing everything he had. Floyd was smiling.

    43-0 tells me the bloke has got a clue, but not just a clue, a plan, AND he knows how to implement it to win the fight.

    We can sit and say, but how would he have been able to do that against, SRL, Duran, Hagler etc etc

    But people have said that about fighters he has already faced, going into a fight, "Floyd wont be able to do it this time".....and he does.

    Its a different story when they get in the ring, so its pointless speculating.

    IMO Floyd is the best, and he would do to them, what he always has done. It all changes when they get in the ring. He will box on the back foot, encouraging the pressure, working of the wok of the other fighter, taking a breath, analyzing, adjust1ng, they call it Floydy-sense, his brain functions like a computer, it aint human, you know! And then mid-to-late rounds stick some more pop into the counters, punch crisper, using angles with footwork and punches, over the top to finish combos, typical Mayweather and looking to walk them down when he is in control.

    Listen, I'm a big fan of Floyd as a boxer (not as a person) I think he's an absolute master at his craft and the best fighter of his generation but how can you honestly sit there with a straight face and call him the GOAT when he blatantly ducked the biggest challenge of his career in Manny Pacquiao?

    I'm a lifelong unbiased boxing fan and it is as clear as day that Mayweather ducked Pacquiao, if you think otherwise you are in denial, plain and simple.

    And i'm sorry, ducking your biggest challenge automatically removes you from contention for the GOAT before the discussion even begins.

    The greatest boxer of all time does not duck fights, end of.

    The annoying thing is, even when Pacquiao was at his ferocious prime Floyd would of probably still handled him, makes no sense.

    Too little too late now though.

    Relax man, Floyd Mayweather is a great fighter but he should not even be in the top-10 of all-time.

    43 -0..?

    Roy Jones Technically went 49-0.

    And in that time, was Middleweight Champion, Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion, Heavyweight Champion, and pound for pound number 1 for over a decade! even though i think pound for pound rankings are aload of ****.

    Sugar Ray Robinson went over 90 fights undefeated, if my memory serves me right..?

    Relax man, calm down.

    I wouldn't have Floyd in the top 50.

    There are lots of fighters even in recent times that are greater.... never mind the single title era and pre-war times.

    Hagler
    Hearns
    Duran
    Leonard
    Holyfield
    Lewis
    Jones
    Hopkins
    McCallum
    Benitez
    Whitaker
    De La Hoya
    Chavez
    Sanchez
    Nelson

    could go on and on....
