RING Magazine: "Mayweather Doesn't Crack the Top 25 Greatest Ever"

[miron_lang]

*waits for the Floyd ball swingers to start committing suicide*

Hhahahahahahahahahahaha

TOP 25? TOP 50 is even up for debate.

[johncs08]

Absolutely, he does not belong in "greatest ever" but he will make it to the HOF. A fighter retiring in his prime with meaningless oponents(besides a 34 yo DLH who almost beat him) does not deserve an ATG spot. He needs to comeback and accomplish, great things, not great money. But im sure mayweather doesent give one bit of a **** being an all time great.

STFU bitsh. you dont know what ur talkin about.

DUMBASS.

skillwise

floyd is teh best ever.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

We can almost certainly agree that Mayweather doesn't belong in the top 10, hallowed ground reserved for names like Robinson, Armstrong, Ali, Louis, Pep, Greb, ect. And the opinion here is that for all his remarkable talent, his body of work isn't enough to crack the top 25 either. Looking at that 19-42 range, the upper end just doesn't seem right given the talent pools of the past.

So our final declaration is this: if Mayweather never fights again, he ranks somewhere in the second 25 in boxing history, pound-for-pound, taking into account both his ability and his accomplishment. "Pretty Boy" and his devoted fans may not want be happy to hear it, and the Floyd haters probably won't like it either, but that's where he belongs.

Gayweather and his stans should be happy with that because if he continued fighting and lost he would drop way lower.

Whether Mayweather is in the Top 50 is very debateable.

You can put him anywhere from 25 to 75, it is all in the eye of the beholder and what you like. To me he is easily in the top 50, and I can probably make a better case then you. Feel free if you want to try, most people can not use logic when discussing such matters.


Oh and being anywhere in the top 100 (top 50 even more so) is not any kind of slight lol. Boxing is a very old sport with so many different era of champions, how do you even begin to compare more then 100 years of great fighters (there are roughly 20-25 guys who could be called the greatest, and have a real stong case, dropping down a teir is an ever bigger selection of fighters).
