No doubt. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZg07vQnng[/url] Nearing the end of his career he still dominates the nr2 in his division. So extremely technically correct.
How can Greb not be listed? Okay, no film, but seriously, his opponents look excellent to me, and he just dominated an entire era. In no order: Jose Napoles, 1966, 140lbs Harry Greb, 1919, 165lbs Ray Robinson, 1948, 147lbs Benny Leonard, 1922, 135lbs Henry Armstrong, 1937, 130lbs Roberto Duran, 1978, 135lbs Ezzard Charles, 1948, 175lbs Pernell Whitaker, 1990, 135lbs Floyd Mayweather, 2001, 130lbs Wilfredo Gomez, 1979, 122lbs
Surprised Tyson didn't get ANY love. I was looking for this Jones jr/Greb article and came across this...apparently anyone can write an article these days (check the Whitaker picture atsch ! ) [url]http://www.thetoptenworld.com/p4p_boxers.html[/url]
""Known as “Money” or “Pretty Boy” Mayweather has an overall record of 41 wins, 0 defeats, and 0 draws. Mayweather ranks # 1 on our list not only for his record, but he is the fastest, and most skilled boxer to date. The debate is still out on Mayweather when most people believe Manny Pacquiao is the P4P King. With almost the same fights minus Cotto but add Mosley, Mayweather has made it through with no marks, Unlike Pacquiao who has 5, 3 defeats, and 2 draws. So until Mayweather at least has a defeat, or even gets knocked down, he is the Pound for Pound King."" hahahaha
If I was feeling cynical I'd just back Floyd Mayweather because he'd never fight a guy there was any chance he'd lose to. If I was going with my heart, I'd go Ali, Sweet Pea, sugar Ray Robinson, but hell some of those lists that have been put up already are so damn good.
Mayweather is of course a shameful act. But his skills are undeniable. It's a shame because he's ****ing embarrassing.
Only the ones with enough footage. SRR Armstrong Duran Charles SRL Louis Willie Pep (enough footage IMO) Carlos Monzon Jofre Ali
Lopez, Gomez, Jones, Leonard, Jofre, McFarland, Langford, Ali and Gans were knocking on the door. ****! Willie Pep!! Need to edit. Jose Napoles, 1966, 140lbs Harry Greb, 1919, 165lbs Ray Robinson, 1948, 147lbs Benny Leonard, 1922, 135lbs Henry Armstrong, 1937, 130lbs Roberto Duran, 1978, 135lbs Ezzard Charles, 1948, 175lbs Pernell Whitaker, 1990, 135lbs Floyd Mayweather, 2001, 130lbs Willie Pep, 1946, 126lbs
Shame he doesn't get much attention. Louis, Tyson, Holmes, Wlad still get their attention besides all of them having dominated "weak" eras. And a guy like Lopez who totally dominated the whole division, and not a divison known for longetivity but a division that normally swaps belt every few fights doesn't get the same props because it was "just" the minimum weight division. Also none of those previously 4 mentioned men were as technically as correct as Lopez. Oh well, the world isn't fair. Also Alvarez looked a lot bigger than Lopez, since he's been caught using diuretics could it have been he was using peds against Lopez too?
