If Mayweather Does this...is he the greatest boxer of all time?

I don't understand how some people can write off a fighter like Pacquiao so easily, he's p4p no.1 right now..he's only got better.
Every fighter has trouble with someone at some point, but they learn from it.
Mayweather had trouble with Castillo, does that mean he sucks? Castillo isn't a huge guy.
Pacquiao could give Mayweather a very good fight, he's very fast on his feet, he throws a lot..lets just see how he does against DLH and maybe a more accurate opinion can be made.Last edited by them_apples; 10-22-2008, 08:53 PM.Comment

No because these fighters aren't as good as fighters of past ages, and second the best fighter has a ko punch, a solid chin and can box or fight. Do you think either Margarito or Cotto could even be considered in the top 100 welterweights? No any boxing historian will tell you that.Comment

He is just too easy to hit. Floyd would be nailing him with straight right leads all night. Manny just wouldn't be able to get going.Comment

margarito would be an important fight for him but im not including it on my list because i feel that floyd would have a harder time with a miguel cotto than an antonio margarito...
cotto is more technically sound and could actually BOX floyd...
Margarito isn't as polished and his best assests are his workrate and chin...then again look what happened with hatton??? floyd would never knock margarito out but he'd smother him and tie him up whenever possible; not allowing margarito to get off his punches...not give margarito the distance he needs to have the most effect with his punches...
he would basically something along the lines of what he did with hatton and what hopkins did with pavlik...
only exciting detail of that matchup would be no matter the score (even if margarito losses every round going into the 12th) he still has a punchers chance to stop floyd and win the fight at any time...beyond that he cant outbox floyd...he cant out think floyd...he has to attempt to go in there and **** with him and floyd wouldnt allow that.
williams i dont view as a big threat to floyd either...
i say de la hoya due to how close their first fight was (i had it even)...and how much cotto's boxing ability has come along...and pacquaio's speed/power...those would probably be the best 3 fights he can make in my opinion.Comment
