    Against DLH he fought like a coward, so how bad he wanted it was debatable.

      Thats a big IF he can beat them. Floyd aint no bum but those guys arent either.

          he's always talking about being the greatest "boxer"..

          if he gets by jmm, pac, cotto and mosley and they stay winning, he's up there.

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.
              Corrales was the betting favorite.

                Mayweather cannot be the greatest ever. No one can these days, because they fight the same ppl only once. Rematches are key... look at Ezzard Charles' record, look how many times he fought Burley, Bivins, Moore, Maxim, Walcott.

                  we all know he CAN be great. the problem is that he won't take the necessary risks to accomplish it. he's wasting talent.

                    I seriously doubt he could ever be the G.O.A.T, wins even impressive ones over all 4 of those opponents don't even bring him close to that status. Also he has wasted too much time doing nothing and would have more to do after those wins presuming they happened to even be considered top 10 of all time.

                      Pac n Floyd are the premier great fighters in that group. They have the most potential to crack top 10 arguably
