    I cannot believe you really think Mayweather was innocent during IV gate. He broke 3 of NSAC's own rules concerning Saline drip treatment. WHY?? no way was he dehydrated. Why didn't he apply for a TUE??
    Remember the very same NSAC denied Manny Pacquaio his LEGAL & already promised Toradol shot for his injured rotator cuff at the last minute because " He hadn't ticked the right box saying he was injured" though they'd previously agreed it. C'mon man there was one set of rules for Mayweather & Canelo ,the cash cows, & another for everyone else. You claiming you love the sport doesn't hold water Those two were bent on destroying it.. You've lost your little credibility you had Olu. Join the casuals & trolls

    First of all I want to start by commending everyone and I mean everyone who contributed to this thread I started. Some quality picks , even lists(though not requested) shows their are still knowledgeable people here on boxing. Of course a few rogue stupid comments as well to be expected. I will now address each and every post.

    Rather stupid comment especially in light of the fact that it’s not even clear yet that he is even the best of his era. Still has unfinished business with Whyte, AJ, Usyk and Joe Joyce.

    Great post all 3 worthy candidates. Personally I hold peak SRR at Welterweight above the fantastic Greb and the great Willie Pep.

    Hammering Hank or Homicide Hank, what a fighter what a man. Unique achievement in that era.
