    Is Floyd Mayweather jr an ATG?

    Yeah, I'll counter attack "is marquez an atg" topic back.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr hand-picked his opponents like no other. Bernard Hopkin is an ATG, not floyd. Bernard had the balls to get in the ring with someone like Joe Calzaghe who throws over 1,000 punches per fight. Bernard Hopkins had the balls to get in the ring against young lions like tarver, and kelly pavlik. Bernard Hopkins stopped Oscar de la hoya in his prime.

    Funny thing is that Floyd is an ATG due to what he accomplished at 130-135
    140/147/154 was just an extra

          At 130 he was really special, at 135 not really. Atg is thrown around a lot but its hard to compare fighters from different eras when we have not witnessed any of their fights. We can only go on records and here say.

          Floyd is great, no doubt, but his stretch of opponents after teh Castillo fight to the Judah fight was not atg great material.

                  I think so, not top 10 but pretty close.

                  I actually have about 5-6 guys scrapping it out for my No10 All time and he's one of them.

                    all-time greats are guys like duran , ali , robinson , louis , armstrong , leonard.......

                    depending on your definition floyd might be........but the thought of putting him in the same category as those guys makes me feel ILL.
