    Is it Floyd Mayweather Jr, Charley Burley, Juan Manuel Marquez, Benny Leonard, Willie Pep, Gene Tunney or someone else?

    Who do you think and why?

    Floyd Mayweather.

    Very high ring IQ but the real beauty is in how well he's marketed himself since leaving Bob Arum, Millions of people pay to see him lose! He keeps dissapointing them and they keep paying!

    Either Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep or Muhammad Ali which is the same to say wich was the greatest of all time. I won't say exactly cause there are guys like Henry Amstrong and Archie Moore who were not particularly smart but extremely brave and game.

    Victor Ortiz hands down.

    Im a mayweather fan, n I'm gonna say mayweather. Not cuz I'm on his nuts or anything, BUT because out of ANY fight he has fought, only one fighter EVER has made him fight outside his comfor zone n that was castillo I. Floyd may be considered a runner, a *****, both, gay, whatever. The fact of the matter is he NEVER lets a fighter fight the way they want to. He is so smart that no matter the situation, he never strays from his own gameplan n makes fighters either chase him, fight against elbows n a nice roll in the pocket, n pick you apart till u have no choice but to admitt defeat...

    Why does Jr get a mention? You cannot judge a guy who refused to fight the best fighters of his era while they were on a hot streak. That is the plain simple truth!
