Do you consider Floyd a All Time Great Welterweight?

[T-97]

Floyd will be an all time 130 lb fighter before being an ATG at LW, JW, or WW.

One thing we can say for sure is, Mayweather is an ATG. Forget who he "ducked" at Welterweight blah blah. He is an ATG

[Omalsi11]

Not even close. I do consider him an ATG in general, however. But his Welterweight campaign was probably his weakest.

Then why were Margarito and Quitto sucking Oscar's **** for a fight? Two years later?

You think that's because of the challenge? Haha, get real man. Oscar is the boxing Lottery.

Then why were Margarito and Quitto sucking Oscar's **** for a fight? Two years later?

Oscar brings in the big payday. Margarito and Cotto will probably never have the kind a payday they would have if they fought Oscar.

I dont think fighters look at Oscar as a fight that will secure there legacy like had they fought him at the peak of his career.

Rankings as always are based on actual accomplishments and not on potential or ability in fantasy matches.

If we just base it on pure speculation and natural talent then RJJ would be the Greatest Of All Time.

Resumes are not the be all and end all on what a fighter is capable of, just because a fighter did not prove something means he is incapable of doing something. What truly happeans is most important though.

A man rising up in weight to me is commendable to me. You are facing men who are bigger than you. Floyd has not ducked any men. If he says he won't fight any Arum fighters, I believe him. Why shouldn't I? Men who have never boxed have no business saying fighters duck fighters. until you get into that square ring, all you have is an opinion. It is an opinion you can't take to a gym and talk to professional fighters about because they would laugh you out of the gym.

[El Dominicano]

Considering his biggest fight at the weight while still at there peak was against a guy that was a blown up 140 pounder in Ricky Hatten. Oscar was not the same fighter he was back in the early 2000's and that fight was basically for the money. Im not saying he couldn't beat the top Welterweights, but he didnt fight them and give them a chance.

Should he be considered a great lightweight, but not necessarily a all time great welterweight because he didnt prove himself in the division.

You think its smart to ask a question you already know the answer to?? Ofcourse NOT the thing with Mayweather is that his resume may NOT compare to guys like Cotto or maybe Margarito but we'll stand by what we say "Mayweather would BEAT them" and in the future when people decide to look up Mayweather they'll be saying the same ****. Think thats all that needs to be said...

[Ryn0]

he beat an old ODLH

At 154. He's not an ATG Welter, Lightweight he is. Welter and Jr. Welter are weight classes that he has the potential to be an ATG.
