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

[bsrizpac]

This supports the views of those who say that Floyd is not one of the top 25 Welterweights of all time (let alone top 25 at any weight).

Maybe but this entire thread reinforces the view that Viva Mexico is an undersized midget ******.

Apparently he's not even Mexican, he was born in America.

Not sure if that's true, but if so it's ironic that he calls de la Hoya a 'fake Mexican'.

Let's see if he'll come in this thread and answer one way or the other.

[¡VIVA MEXICO!]

i would say a coward does not belong in the top 100 all time. mayweathers resume is pathetic after he left 135.

Not only was he born in America, but he admitted that his family and he were "too Americanized" (his words) to eat all Mexican foods (like Goat- a staple).

He's a cowardly midget ugly bastard.

He might be just inside or just outside my top 50. If he cleaned out welter, he's top 10. As it stand now, he hasn't done a whole hell of a lot at 140. He beat maybe the weakest linear 147 champ ever, a half retired great, and I consider Hatton to be the fight that should have happened years ago at 140.

floyd doesn't need to clean out welter, all he needs to do is wait for the winner of margarito/clottey to fight williams and face the winner. he could even wait for cotto to get the winner of that fight.

as long as floyd takes that guy out he'd have faced his #1 contender if he never retired and that's enough that he doesn't need to clean out welter.

but i'm not sure that win alone will propel him up to top 10 if they don't already have him in the top 25 because those guys aren't in the atg league either.

margarito, clottey, williams, cotto ain't even in the top 200 All time.

[The Hulk]

Floyd has fulfilled his own criteria.
Fantastic boxer who made a lot of money and looked good doing it.
He didn't want to take too many risks as his career went on. He wanted to retire intact, wealthy and undefeated.
He has achieved these goals.
The payoff is that the potential he has is not entirely tapped. But let noone belittle that. He fought well, stylishly and is close to being one of the best 50 boxers of all time. Not bad for someone with a dissappointing latter quarter of his career.

And that makes Hulk so angry!
Grarrrarararrrrr!!!!!

mayweather needs to fight margarito and pac.

[talip bin osman]

floyd doesnt care i think... hes got lots of dough anyway... his fans are more concerned for his ATG standing than floyd jr himself...
