Floyd Mayweather is good NOT great

[Ishy Aytan]

He's done enuf to be great.

Great as in top 40 ATG or scrapping top 75?

Like i said it takes two guys too make a fight happen. Floyd called out Casamayor but Casamayor didnt want nothing with him. Whats he ment to do wait around for him?

Tszyu at 140? Floyd called him out too. Didnt happen, for one reason or another.

The Mosley fight should have happened back at lightweight but sadly didnt.

Margarito called him out. Floyd should have faced him, but a win over Margarito wouldnt exactly put him higher in the ATG rankings.

Floyd retired at 30, the only fights out there for him are Pacquiao and Cotto. However even without these he's still top 30/35 ATG.


I just find it insulting when people talk about Floyd being a top 75-100 ATG. This is a guy that's gonna be crowned fighter of the decade next year.

And with regards to comparing him with Duran, you can never say never when comparing which fighters will win. Although Duran faced better opponents than him and is proberbly higher ATG than him, who's to say Mayweather cannot beat him?

Guys like Floyd adapt to different fighters styles. He's ring intelligence is incredible.

how is it to say top 75-100 atg is insulting?

this is why people hate on floyd.

call him a great fighter and people get mad that they didn't say he's atg.

say floyd is top 100 and people get mad and say he's top 25.

say floyd has great skills and a good resume and people get mad you didn't say the best skills and great resume.

might as well say floyd sucks balls!



as far as duran-floyd.

duran fought and beat fighters as great or greater than floyd.

you will not find a single opponent floyd fought that is even close to duran.

In my eyes Floyds top 35/40 ATG. Seeing as theres guys such as Morales, De La Hoya etc that are ranked top 50, i think thats justifiable.

And when i say Floyd can beat Duran im not comparing there opponents, im talking in regards to a one-on-one bout.

great as in maybe top 10 of his era.

Great as in fighter of the 00's... without a doubt the fighter of his era.

10 years down the line when fight fans talk about the 00's era, they'll think of Floyd Mayweather the same we as fans think of Leonard when we talk about the 80's and talk about Roy Jones Jr when we think about the 90's.

Another one of those?! Didn't your mother teach you if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. There are a lot of Mayweather lovers and Haters on this site, so why even try this post. If you don't like him why even bring him up since he says he's retired? By you making this thread you are making him great because if he wasn't THAT good you wouldn't waste the time trying to talk him down.
