Mayweather can be the greatest ever, he just has to want it

[-X-]

even if he beat marquez pacman mosley and cotto... that wouldnt put him above srr

Agreed....Still not even close in my opinion.

Fight Marquez, fight Pacquiao, fight Cotto, fight Mosley, win them all. Then there will be no more talk. May has proven himself time and time again, so what's the problem? Take those fights and win them, you're the man.

he's got all the fancy moves such as the shoulder roll and all kinds of rolls that may seen like he can win but those just work vs gatti,bruseles, baldomir,etc.againts these guys,the only trick he can pull is hit and run but not for all 12!

[THE REED]

Agreed....Still not even close in my opinion.

people dont understand what these other ACTUAL TOP ATG fighters have accomplished..

he would have to beat all 4 of them... move up and take pavliks title... then we might be talking about TOP 10...

[baracuda]

I've always thought that he could clean out welterweight if he really wanted to and had the confidence to make the fights.

he wanted to win decisively vs dlh and jlc but it did'nt, it ended in sd.easier said than done!..

AGREED 10+............Robinson fought 200+ times lol'z enough said.

[larry x]

thats why he has returned..to be the greatest..

Inside the top 20 isn't close to you? 3 (possibly 4, if Cotto can add to his resume) HoFers in a row is impressive and it would get him inside the top 20. For Mayweather to be legit inside the top 10 he would need that and a fight where he's the underdog. Most of the top ATG's have won a fight where they've been the underdog Mayweather hasn't.

All i know is that Mayweather will never ever touch Ali or Robinson i dont even care if he wins 10 straight fights against everyone.

[MANGLER]

You don't think a Mayweather/Mosley bout is realistic if Cotto ties PAcquiao up this winter?

It is, but in context of this thread I was referrin to him fightin these guys in succession. And even if the ******ass Pac-Cotto fight gets made and leaves Mr boat buyer no choice but to face SSM, I'll still believe it when I ****in see it homey. And co-sign wins on all these 4 still not makin him the GOAT.
