    I already answered your question many times. You have the worst reading comprehension issues.

    You have never answered the question.:lol: You brought up how Duran beat Sugar and how Pac beat Barrera and then named Pac and Wlad as prime HOF's and said that Floyd would've been but he retired, lmfao. ****en liar. :rofl

    He has the potential to be one, but not a hof guy yet.
    Same for GGG, Canelo, Roman Gonzalez.

    Think Gonzalez probably has done enough to get into the Hall at some point were he to retire tomorrow. Three weight division titleholder, lineal champ at Fly and some good to very good names on his resume ensure he'd be up for consideration within a few years, at any rate.

    That paragraph reminds me of that Monzon trashing thread lol

    My thread title doesn't dispute Floyd being an ATG, or a top 50 ATG for that matter. I would call Felix Trinidad an ATG (although not a Top 50 or Top 100 for that matter).

    Jofre is one of my faves :good. He has the warranted position because he was in the Bantamweight golden era. It's a shame that the others don't get the same recognition as individuals. What his resume does show is that if there is a prime ATG (you know what I mean by this, Blitz is being the dull head that he is), then things can change. Jofre who was seen as the invincible fighter met his match in Fighting Harada who officially beat (and I believe he definitely did deserve the nod and saw nothing controversial personally in the decision) Jofre...although the second fight is not so easy to score (I still thought Harada edged it a few years ago but this is kinda disputed).

    Harada > Saldivar IMO (although we're talking names here now, not necessarily wins).

    When you say 'some' of his opponents, you're really just looking at Alvarez. I don't make much of the Alvarez fight personally. Alvarez plods and telegraphs his punches, and stylistically he's at a disadvantage. All over forums, Mayweather was seen as the most overwhelming favourite I've ever seen between two actual matchups.
    I don't make much of Canelo as a fighter either. I think Derevyanchenko is a better version of Canelo.

    Benvenuti is definitely worthy HOF, it's absurd to suggest he's borderline.

    I'd say so, more so because I really rate the top guys he beat. I'm high on Estrada particularly.

    I don't either but if we're picking apart resumes like we do Mayweather all of what I said applies.
    Duran was prime at LW and below him moving up and facing Mayweather would be bashed in today's era as him picking on a smaller fighter.

    cotto will be HOF
    Pac will be
    Hatton better be
    oscar is a no brainer
    corrales has a shot but arguable
    same with castillo
    JMM will get in
    canelo is up for grabs
    Judah will get in I have 0 doubt

    honestly im tired of mentioning floyds staggering list of opposition. Only foreman tops it IMO and he didnt even win all of them

    Paquaio Was not given a chance to beat Mayweather The NSAC, USADA & Vegas officials made sure of that. Manny was beaten before he left the dressingroom:fire:fire

    Floyd had the God Given incredible boxing talent of an ATG No one disputes that. But talent alone will not make an ATG. He must also have the heart, courage & cojones of a champion too
    This is where Mayweather drops short
    Had he faced all his legitimate challengers he may well have beaten them all. He would then ne regarded as an ATG even if he lost one or two. Instead he took the easy way cherry picking, buying decisions, having a commission & a drug testing agency have his back etc. Now it looks like he has been a hypocrite too & may well have been using EPO PED's all along
    Once again the Commission has backed his cheating.
    ATG ?? No Mayweather is just a talented wannabee:patsch
