Never in history you had so many people praying for one's downfall by coming up with different weight class fighters that he should fight, just so he could lose
Never have you seen a fighter already have opponents set up before he's about to fight someone else
Never have you seen a fighter get so many excuses made when he win
Never have you seen a fighter be wanted by so many fighters just so they can dethrone him and get their biggest check of their careers
You are looking at the new GOAT as TIME changes and out with the old, and IN with the new. That's life.

Never? You kidding? Floyd has as many fights in his career as the true GOAT had in 3 years. The guy isn't half of what he could have been but that's water under the bridge now. Floyd thinks he is special with a few more than 40 wins under his belt, Calzaghe did more, fought over seas, and always had people saying he should fight this guy and that guy.
Floyd ducks, jives and retires to get the odds in his favor......a true great wouldn't have to do that just to hold on to their "0". :fing02:
I don't accept those who say " he is GOAT skill -wise " !!! depending on what ?!
if no opposition = no skill
if Whiteker didn't fight chavez = no skill
If Roy jones didn't fight Hopkins and Toney = no skill
because Mayweather didn't fight Pacquiao = no skill
Mayweather is among the GOAT in my opinion. His skill sets are simply put,..Amazing. The reason he is not near the top is because he has no opponets outside of Ricky Hatton and Diego Corrales who were at their peak. I will give him credit for those 2 big wins. But he does not have a "dangerous" opponet who was at their peak. Corrales may have been dangerous,...I will give some credit their. Hatton was too limited, one dimensional to qualify.
Leonard had "dangerous" threats in Hearns, Duran and Hagler. That is why he is at or near the top of my GOAT list. I can't say the same for Floyd.
Diego Corrales had to cut 30lb in under 6 weeks for that fight, so no he was not in his peak. It's Just Hatton.
Not even, If Mosley was his age he would of knocked mayweather out if not beat him on points. There is no doubt in my mind
OK maybe a prime mosely beats him, but im not sure,,,
Sugar always had trouble with pure boxers like forrest and winky...
I think prime floyd would outslick mosely down the stretch.... But I can see your point..
Either way,
Floyd aint no GOAT
Dude you are the biggest floyd nuthugger ever.... I do agree that any guy his size in this era he would beat....
He wouldnt beat all the guys in history at his size,,, Henry armstrong and aaron pryor would beat the hell out of him, and probably a prime mid-70's duran.... Ans Whittaker would get in his ass as well
As someone posted a while back
Castillo= bootleg chavez
Chavez=bootleg duran
Duran= a straight up goon in his prime, a true ATG
Not even, If Mosley was his age he would of knocked mayweather out if not beat him on points. There is no doubt in my mind
He's not the goat based on the simple fact that many other fighters from Robinson to Leonard would have murdered everyone Floyd fought, would have made easy work of Pacquiao, and would most likely have been ducked by guys like Alvarez, Martinez, and GGG
It just is what it is
yup, floyd's a GOAT... the beard made him look like one. :biggthump

Here's my take on Floyd.. Skill-wise, he probably is the best to ever do it. The man has amazing boxing skills. However, I don't think his resume is good enough to deem him the GOAT. Top 5 maybe, top 10 for sure.
Floyd is the unbeatable best right now. The highest paid. And on a totally different level.
No denying this but it doesn't make the greatest of all time

No he's not and nobody wants him to fight guys in weight classes he's never fought in. And if your the goat u probably should. Ray robinson fought at lhw weighing in as a mw. Lol Mayweather is really good, just leave it at.
wtf is floyd's size? who among all time greats or even close to being great do you consider as floyd's size?
147-155 fight night , that's Floyds size .
