Yes and his career longevity exceeds theirs

SRR and Duran fought for a long time

[champion4ever]

Hell yeah! He'll whoop both Duran and Benitez at 147 but lose to SRR and SRL at the same weight class due to their superior size advantage.

[iamboxing]

**** no!

SRL and Duran were infinitely more skilled than FM. Duran and SRL and WAY MORE technical boxers of the past could have all out-boxed their opponents without ever conceding a loss IF an undefeated record mattered to them; it didn't.

Because an undefeated record wasn't the be all and end all of their careers they passed on a boxing library that will still entertain us for decades to come, while Mayweather's technically flawless fights will be consigned to the dustbin of history - probably why he still has to put on these exhibition fights, to stay relevant or else we'd have forgotten him and his boring ass years ago.

It's sad. Every time a few years pass by, he realises boxing fans are still enthralled with Ali, Duran, SRL and Hagler and wants the same recognition. Even Hamed who retired at 28, left a better fight library and guarantee you more people will be watching his fights on YT than put-me-in-a-coma Mayweather.

Ali

ali definitely wasn’t as skilled as Floyd

[FeFist]

In terms of technique, there is not a better boxer than Floyd.

This is more apparent when you look at his career from start to finish. He is able to adapt because he has mastered so many tools.

[thedarkdragon11]

No! KingMay is levels above those guys...

[IronDanHamza]

Pure skill wise, Floyd is above them, IMO.

In regards to being a better fighter however, you’d have to say no probably.

Except Benitez obviously.
