Rankings are a joke man, mostly meaningless. The Ring had Boner at 5 p4p the other day and guerrero in the top ten, and the sanctioning(shakedown) bodies are even more shameless.
I had to stop reading there, clearly you have an negative agenda against Mayweather. You have to understand these were Year-end ratings, Using the example of Broner as a means to discredit his resume holistically is seemingly ignorant. Mayweather's resume is an impressive one. I'm really impressed by his longevity also.

Floyd has defeated more rated contenders than Ray Leonard for example, but nobody would rate his opposition as being superior. You have to go beyond the stats, but to claim he cherry picked his whole career just spurting repetitive bullshit. Also don't worry about Larryx that guy is mong. lol
I agree that outside of ring he's a bloody clown, but that should have no bearing whatsoever on how we judge his accomplishments inside it.
He's also H2H one of the greats at Super Feather Weight.
Its too late for him to make any legacy enhancing fights unless he can take the ultimate challenge and fight Sergio at 160. He blew it! at least legacy wise. He had a great opportunity to back his mouth up when he embarked on whats become a rather pitiful 'comeback', but chose to fight once a year against people that did nothing for him(except making money) and nothing for his public image.
Exactly my point, he has to fight a middleweight because no one at his weight class can whip him...?? Wow!
Why can’t Sergio Martinez bring his big a$$ down to 147... Oh right, he’ll be weight drained blah blah blah, well what is Floyd if he has to go all the way up to his weight. It’s just supposed to be cool because he’s Mayweather, but the Marquez/May fight gets looked down on and people say, why did he have to go up, that’s not his weight blah blah blah. Hatton was smaller blah blah...this is all bull****, he’ll never satisfy anyone. Because even if he does go up and whips Sergio’s and Canelo’s ass and whoever else. When he retires, people will say the same **** and be like oh how convenient he’s ducking Joe blow...
He’ll never please most people because they can’t be pleased. They only will be satisfied with his downfall. And that friend, is also some bull****.
How about looking who and how often he has fought since 2007?
You're telling me that Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto weren't good fights at the times he fought them???
Well than Manny fighting Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez when he did must suck as well, right???
And even though Floyd-JMM at the time it was fought was bull crap, he should get his due for whupping Marquez. Marquez has since proved he can fight at WW and be world class carrying that weight.
