    Floyd thinks protecting his 0 at all costs wiill get him a great legacy. It won't ! The obvious and blatant ducking of Manny is just going to get Floyd grouped in boxing history with Sven Ottke and Joe Calzaghe, guys who ducked their way to an 0 record

    He will never ever be in any ATG discussions of any kind

    If he beats Manny and Martinez in 2012, that would be different .....

    Floyd Mayweather has always fought the best. Sven Ottke is a joke.

    Floyd dared to be great at super feather, above thats hes done nothing amazing. I wouldnt group him in with Ottke, but I wouldnt mention him alongside the fantastic 4 either.

    There's definitely room for some middle ground here.

    The boxing world disagrees. Floyd is an ATG even now. The only question is how high in the ATG list you place him.

    Your one of these guys who think that if they just post their biased, warped, hateful opinion on things, and two people back you up, it's true.

    It's like me writing an article saying

    "When Manny Pacquiao retires, he will be remembered like Barry Bonds"

    Your statement is confused.

    Is Floyd an ATG? Yes. Is he Ali, SRR, Duran level of greatness? Not with his current resume.

    Khan, Pac, Martinez would put him top 15-20. Right now he's more top 35ish.

    You know, the truth is.

    Everyone knows:

    A: Pacquiao has turned down the exact same offer Mosely and Ortiz has accepted, twice already. Anyone with a brain knows that until Pacquiao accepts Mayweathers terms, he has little moral high ground for Floyd refusing to agree to his

    B: Mayweather has an awesome resume, and is an awesome fighter, that's going to be a first ballot hall of famer, and remembered as one of the greatest of his era, right up with the best.

    And some blubbing Pacquiao fan, writing dumb articles, hoping that a few other blubbing Pacquiao fans back him up, aint going to change a lot

    Calzaghe and Ottke are not grouped together

    Calzaghe cleaned out the 168 division,and then went up and beat the man at 175

    Ducked pacman, martinez,cotto,margo and will duck khan.

    He sounds like a Joe Cal to me.

    People that fight the best of the best on the reg are legends. 154champ cherriepics 135 will be considered a fraud.
