    Paulie reckons he's the greatest of all time. A boxer who is also a brilliant Analyst.

    Then you have Garcia, one of the best trainers in the game saying the same thing!

    Honesty guys, am i missing something. Floyd is brilliant, and a step above anyone he's ever fought, but how can you rank him the best of all time.

    If you said that in this forum you'd be called a ***** troll!

    Are these guys just trolling. Because for one, how can you say floyd is better than SRL , when Leonard Beat Hagler, Hearns and Duran!! It insane Right?

    The Guy just beat Robert Guererro and everyone in the media are going nuts about how amazing that was!

    There's so many guys that are better options then Devon and khan so if he picks them that would be very interesting.

    this generation floyd is the best around to say he is the best ever i dont think so

    I like him as a fighter ,I rate him ect but unless he ****ing starts taking some risks I dont see him as the ATG

    whoever is the GOAT right now will not be forever. There's always someone that can beat you, and there's always someone that will be better than you, eventually.

    Everyone has an opinion. No one here knows who would win any mythical match up.

    The problem is once Mayweather fights someone, they all of a sudden become an overrated opponent. Check the archives just a few years back and see what the great Roberto Duran had to say about Guerrero, and how he thought Guerrero would beat Mayweather when and if they did fight. Look back a few years ago and See what the late great Emmanuel Steward said about how Guerrero is the one fighter today who's style could give Mayweather the most trouble. Go back a few months ago and see how Marquez said if Guerrero was not Mayweather's next opponent, it would be a clear duck by Mayweather. What did they see in Guerrero to make those predictions, and accuse Mayweather of a duck if he didn't fight him?

    Me personally don't think Mayweather is THE greatest, but he does have a claim to being an ATG.

    What's really strange about Mayweather's career, is most pro boxers and trainers, when asked about him always speak of him in the highest of esteem. What do the experts know that we fans don't?

    I wouldnt put too much into what a few trainers say all the time. floyds uncle who watches him day in day out says hands down robinson is the greatest. He said leonard fighting floyd would be a good fight but didnt say floyd would win.
