Mayweather's Position, All Time P4P List

[Kid Cauliflower]

His career is finished, so it is fitting to evaluate Mayweather's position among the greats. The way to do this is to make a list and see who is above him.

If it were about undefeated records he might be #1. But it is not, so maybe it is safe to include the likes of Robinson and Langford. It is not how many you beat but WHO you beat and where they were in their career.

This not a speculative ranking of anyone but Mayweather, the others are unordered. They are simply ahead of Mayweather on my speculative list. They are each to fight MW in a P4P match.

No other baloney wanted, like how many trinkets a fighter stowed away or longevity. This is about fighting not career durability et al. Non heavyweights are most telling, because they do not have the weight disparity of heavyweights among themselves, but heavyweights are included too. Figure out how to do it.

1. Robinson
2. Duran
3. Langford
4. Greb
5. Pep
6. R Leonard
7. B Leonard
8. Ali
9. Armstrong
10. Chavez
11. Charles
12. Monzon
13. Hagler
14. Griffith
15. M Spinks
16. Saddler
17. M Walker
18. Gans
19. Tunney
20. J Johnson
21. Dempsey
22. Sanchez
23. Arguello
24. Tubby Lar
25. Jimmy Wilde
26. Holyfield
27. Lewis
28. Barbados Walcott
29. Louis
30. Ward
31. Whitaker
32. Hearns
33. Pacquiao
34. Marciano
35. Burley
36. Mayweather

Almost certain I left out a few who would be above him.

Can't believe I can't see Jimmy McLarnin on your list!

[IronDanHamza]

Who is Ward? Andre Ward?

I do not know much about him.

[Kid Cauliflower]

Who is Ward? Andre Ward?

Yes..

[IronDanHamza]

Yes..

You actually have Andre Ward ranked higher than Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather?

That's got to be satire, surely?

[DeeMoney]

I'm not as anti Mayweather as you, I got him in that 20-25 range, but I feel you got a solid list there. One name I think you forgot, was Archie Moore. Omission, or do you not rate him as highly?

Try reading the post first, my Hammy. I said it was an unordered list. The only person I tried to rank in what I consider to be their rightful position was Mayweather. The others are merely ranked higher than him, not necessarily in their actual positions. I said all of that very clearly.

Right so you rank Andre Ward ahead of Mayweather then?

That's got to be some form of comedy I'm assuming?

I think Mayweather might beat Archie in a P4P match. Archie was kind of slow.
