if mayweather beats de la hoya, hatton, and margarito, with a few fights in between like he usually does, will he be respected as an atg before the age of 33 or 34? Do you think he is close already?
yep, if he beats the people who are in line to fight him over the next 2-3 years (Hatton, Margarito, perhaps Cotto, perhaps a rising star between now and then), plus getting a win over DLH, he'll have to make the all-time top 10 list, perhaps even top 5.
Lets hope he makes those fights. Fighting Judah was a decent move up from Mitchell etc, but those are bigger fights he needs to make
Right now Floyd is already a first ballot hall of famer. If he wins those fights, as well as other solid fighters, he will be regarded as one of the best of all time.
