We can agree that not fighting Margarito or Cotto was a disappointing move by Mayweather. Now that we can agree to. And it didn't help his claim as being the best of all time.
    Obviously he is not the greatest of all time, but I don't blame him for hyping himself. And yes fighting Margarito and Cotto wuold have been nice, but many other fighters (in all eras) did the same or worse, so it doesnt really bother me.

        FACT: On this poll, prime RJJ is considered better than prime Mayweather. This is interesting since Hopkins was probably better in his prime than both.

          Man, I am talking about stuff like "Mayweather's stamina isnt all that great"... In ring stuff, who called out who is not very interesting to me. And neither you, I dont remember you arguing about that. Am I wrong?

            Seriously what the **** were you smoking when you made this comment? I mean do you seriously believe Hopkins was BETTER in his prime than BOTH Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Maywether Jr? Did you sleep through Roy Jones Jr's prime career?

            Roy Jones was obviously the better of all three in his prime.Anyone who cant see that must be blind.Thankfully the the majority Voted Roy otherwise this pole wouldve been a joke.

But, of the remaining contenders who was the best in his prime? I'll throw the Mayweather nuthuggers a bone and include lil' Floyd in the mix. Of Hopkins, Jones, and Mayweather, I've got to vote for Hopkins. Yes, Jones beat a young Hopkins, but I do believe the Hopkins of 1997-2000 would have beaten prime Jones. Hopkins was too crafty and would have been able to eventually get in and land on Jones' glass jaw. IMO Mayweather cannot be considered because he dodged the really big hitters, ie..Kostya Tszu, Antonio Margarito, and Miguel Cotto.
              calzaghe fans are getting dumber by the minute, i never liked roy and bernard is my favorite american fighter but to say bernard was better than oy in his prime would be , straight up dishonest, calzaghe fans are becoming like a dumb smarter version of floyd fans, but with more credibility

                    based on skill, talent, heart, chin, overall strategy, and tactics. Its gotta be pbf.
                    Also his versatility.

                    Mayweather that beat gatti, that shape he was in, couldve beaten anyone in history on 140 pounds.

                      Floyd Mayweather look at his performances against great fighters, he is better than a prime RJJ and Prime Hopkins.

                      If They all were in the same division.

                      Mayweather stops RJJ late
                      Mayweather UD Hopkins
