Roughly Were Would You Put Floyd Mayweather Jr In A/Your ATG List, at this stage?

Hey guys BoxingGlove1 sends private messages to try and intimidate you if you don't agree with him. Swell guy :rofl

 

Better watch out flea...You might get an e-mugging.

Maybe top 50...40-45. I dont know anymore with those lists, its near impossbile to make a definitive one were you are being completely consistent with your criteria..especially a top 100 and even a top 50.

 

Basilio definitely higher.

 

I dont think so no...Maybe Conn is just outside my 50 though. I definitely have Burley higher but the others I cant remember and without thinking about it to much if they are behind Money it either wouldnt be far or maybe I need to reconsider it.

 

I would say the win over Ray Robinson at Middle was pretty big. Also fought tough opposition throughout his career, and although doesn't have the slick skillset Floyd has, had an ATG chin and a Helluva offensive game.

I hope Floyd DOES step it up; with wins over Mosley and Pac he could start using the talent he has. But I do think he's one of the most seriously bad cherry pickers I have ever seen.

 

I probab;y have Basilio at about 40-45. Note that I don't rate any fighters that I haven't seen a substantial amount of footage of.

I HAVE done a list before where I included fighters that had fantastic resumes even if I hadn't seen them and I think it was;

1) Ray Robinson
2) Harry Greb
3) Sam Langford
4) Roberto Duran
5) Ezzard Charles
6) Muhammad Ali


That's all I can really recall. Might have to try again, but as WhatARock says, every day you remember something else or learn a new tidbit of information that makes one or two places uncertain; then you just get a headache over it and put it to one side, I can usually fathom what 'bracket' I will put a fighter if I am given an example.

As per the original question, I have Floyd around the 50-60 mark.

 

Left out Henry Armstrong! See these lists are murder, especially just before bed.

 

In terms of Talent/Ability he is as good as they come. In the terms of acomplishments that we seem to hold everyone else to there may be even less who have acheived more than Mayweather. His compotition has been very good but could be better. He will have to fight at 154 and above for that to happen. Only Mosley at 147 realy has the tools to serously chalege him. Williams maby. With the Marquz win he should be inside the top 10 or just out side of it.
