    Little, much better, more better - they are relative terms. I was not questioning that Mayweather's resume is better, the only issue is by how much. Is it so much better? Which again is very subjective.

    Mayweather never had career-defining fight, like SRL-Duran type of fight.

    The closest to that would be Corrales because at that time, Corrales was perceived as the force of nature, undefeated. But looking at Corrales skillset, it was basically very limited.

    So, what exactly is the term you want me to type and I will type it.

    Would this suffice : Floyd is infinitely better than Calzaghe.

    Now, are you happy?

    BTW, I would probably place Gayweather at around the 40 ATG list. I hate his persona but I recognize that he is a great fighter. In the ATG ranking is ESB, the *****s would be top 1 in terms of idiocy.

    Its your opinion. You can say what you want. I don't have to agree with it just like you don't have to agree with mine. It is what it is.

    Floyd is forfeit from any ATG or P4P lists until and unless he fights Pacman.

    top 30 easy and climbing if he beats Pac, Martinez. history will reflect better on mayweather than pac. usually the fighters like mayweather are more appreciated a decade after they're gone when peopel start looking at them for their fighting skills and not their bad attitude whereas the pac styled fighters are exciting to watch and get the hype of the moment because of the excitement but ultimately don't compare skill wise or end up ranking as high. pernell whitaker was hated like mayweather when he was in his prime but look at him now, many have him top 15 when he was in his prime muther****ers were saying he wasn't even top 50.

    His career defining fight could be Pac? If that one becomes a closely contested fight with him coming on top, he gets into the top 30 for me without question. If he fights and beats Sergio at light Middle then top 20, or even better ranked if fought at Middle.

    There are only 2 standout fighters near his weight class, Pac and Sergio. If he fights those, he will become one of the best ever. He is already a Hall of Famer though.

    The only active fighters who are ranked better than him are Bhop and RJJ.

    Its a good honost opinion of floyd. Did you factor in all the opponents he didn't fight cotto, margo, p williams, pac, etc? Did you factor all of the atg and hof he did fight were old and went on to retire? Fought jmm on a catch weight he never intended to honor? Let's look at floyds fight who will be in the atg list. Oscar lost on a SD, oscar said he was already done and got killed by pac the next year. Mosley a steroid cheat, they say margo is a cheat but mosley is just the same. Mosley loses 3 times in a row. Where, hopkins continues on after his loss to calzaghe and now is champ. Now floyd might have more championships but what was his competition? In atg status resume comes first before skills. In P4P skills is first factored then resume is it not? Like u said floyd had no career defining fights cause he ducked them (cotto, marg, p williams, and especially pac). Calzaghe had hopkins although old he still became champ after his loss to calzaghe. I'm not disputing his skills, it his resume. Its not just me who says this. Its ESPN, boxing historians, boxing experts, and even a DJ who he disputed what I'm saying to floyd himself. So my claim of floyds resume is not just mine, its many.

    You guys are full of ****. No way its 50 better boxers to lace them over floyd Mayweather jr. He is a Top 10 all time great and time will surely tell it to be true.

    He didn't fight the prince when he was dangerous, didn't get involved with manny, a mercenary with a no loss record, i'd but him in the 30's.

    Around the top 50 mark for me, definitely not top 40 yet.
    Too many vacations and too many ducks in the last couple of years.

    Shame really he is running out of time what could have been a top20 career.
    I rank Pac about 10 to 15 place higher on the ATG list, simply because hes not ducking anyone.

    Take your big black ass-loving mother****in' face out of this thread, you clown. Go learn about some hispanic fighters. European fighters. White Americans, even. Then come back and give a sensible assessment of Floyd Mayweather's career. Top 10? Give me a break, Super Fly.

    Your an idiot if you think Floyd deserve to be in top 50. What have floyd done in his 2nd half of his career?

    pac resume is far more better t han Floyd. And pac is somewhere in 40 to 35 ATG list.
