Higher On A ATG List, Floyd Mayweather Jr or Lennox Lewis?

[El Fenomeno]

I don't think neither of those are in his top 3 best wins. Maybe Mosley, maybe. JMM is not even in his top 10 best wins. And, Oscar might be in the very low top 10 best wins if he makes the top 10.

They're the best names on his resume then...

You can't really bring Tyson and Holyfield being out of prime into it when Floyd's best wins are 38 year old Mosley, blown up LW JMM and shot to **** Oscar. Not trying to discredit Floyd but his resume isn't on Lennox's level imo.

It's 2:30 am here so I need to get to bed.

I will grant you that the Marquez win stands for very little but I think Shane and Oscar were in better shape than the versions of Tyson and Holy that Lennox beat.

After you get past those two you have a controversial win over Vitali and then Tua and a string of other contenders. I will take the rest of Floyd's body of work over that.

Enjoy your slumber.

Yeah, but so were Mosley, JMM, Oscar and Gatti. It works both ways. If we're going off the prime argument Lennox wins that too.

How do you mean?

Should not be about best names if the names are not that good at the time when they fought.

To steal a line from Dazed, is not who but more importantly when.

Eh... there is really no controversy in that fight.

Lennox gets my vote.

But if Mayweather beats Pac then it's pretty much even.

Wait up, if he beats Pacquiao, its pretty much even?! That is just ridiculous.

Thats fine, I'm not saying he wasn't a deserved winner.

[Twako]

LL takes this.... you can nitpick each others resume and bash both their opponents if they're prime or not, but one thing differs, lewis fought them all, floyd cherrypicked late in his career.

[Anti~Jalandoni]

Do I sound like I am kidding? Why are people asking me that? I'm being serious.

Do you agree that the versions of Tyson and Holyfield that Lennox beat were well past their best days?

So was the version of Oscar and Mosley.
