      HOF of course, first ballot. look at who actually gets in.

      ATG? Depends on what is an ATG

      Robinson, Duran, Charles, Ali type of ATG? Not a chance, nothing wrong about Mayweather, but not a chance.

      Leonard, Whitaker type of ATG? Sure
      you have the nerver to put duran in the same category as ray robinson, but slag of ray leoanard and floyd jr. what type of crack are you on..
      duran got beat by every major fighter of his era..floyd went undefeated against his eras best..

      I see you have a duran bias..but don't try and pretend that duran was some legendary beast who is head and shoulders above ray leaonrd and floyd jr.

      best fighter of the 1970: muhammad ali
      best fighter of the 1980's: sugar ray leoanrd
      best fighter of the 90's: Roy jones jr.
      best fighter of the 00's: floyd mayweather jr.

      I don't see duran being considered the best of anything except a weak light weight division. where he fought bums like gamboa toasted last night every month to pad his record.

      just like jcc padded his record. strip away the bum fights and you have 40 meanigful fights those guys fought against tough compeition. and when ti comes to championship fights floyd dwarfs duran in every category.

      don't get me started

        Floyd went undefeated. He didn't go undefeated against this era's best. Don't kid yourself there: Prime DLH, Forrest, Winky, Quartey, Mosley, Cotto, Williams, Tzsyu etc

        And you have the cheek to downplay Duran and Chavez, even claim Floyd is greater than Duran. LMAO

            90% says that Mayweather is a HOFer. 50% that he's also an ATG.

              An ATG??? But where would you put him? High in terms of ability but who did he fight....? He never fought Zoo or Cotto for a start but cherry picked people like Baldomir who was ridiculously limited.

              He beat a near death Chico and was in two very close fights with JLC. Otherwise I'm struggling...?
