Floyd recently took part in Allhiphop.com's frequent "Top 5 Dead Or Alive" MC's list, but was asked for fun his top five favorite boxers of all time:
AllHipHop.com: Switching gears, who would grace the list of you’re favorite boxers?
Floyd Mayweather: Who we got, let’s see. Of course I must say RIP to the warrior Arturo Gatti, Alexis Arguello, and Vernon Forrest. I was with Vernon in training 48 hours before he got killed. We were training together just me and him. Me and Gatti fought in a hell of a fight, even though I was dominant. We brought the best out.
Pernell Whitaker was a hell of a fighter. I got to put my uncle Roger Mayweather in there, too.
Aaron Pryor
Larry Holmes
Ricardo Lopez
Tommy Hearns
Marvin Hagler

Starting on August 29 at 10:15PM, you can catch Floyd Mayweather on HBO’s Emmy-winning series “24/7” through its latest incarnation, “Mayweather/Marquez 24/7.” The four weekly episodes will chronicle both fighter’s camps as they move closer to their anticipated PPV clash on September 19.
Finito was a great little fight who people forgot about easily, Am sure if he was american or british he would be laud at every opportunity by the boxing world.
I'm surprised that Floyd thinks so highly of Finito
I'm sure he'd like to retire undefeated like Lopez. The funny thing is that JMM is also trained by Nacho and looks like finito at times- especially when landing those uppercuts.
