At what point will Floyd Mayweather get the credit he deserves?

He is the greatest fighter of this era, usually true greatness doesn’t get the respect it deserves until it’s over.
Floyd is retired now, seems happier than ever (which is great to see) yet he still gets hate from all angles. True fight fans do appreciate him but like most all time greats it can be decades before they truly get the respect they deserve.
For me, Floyd is the greatest of my era (I am early 30’s,) he is a wizard in the ring and it really annoys me when people disrespect him. He has done so much for the sport
When do you think he will get the credit he deserves?
Old Floyd would of had their respect.Comment

I disagree. He’s above Marciano but I think Marciano is under appreciated. May weathers resume is just insane. No one could lay a hand on him. A boxing geniusComment

LOL, you weren’t around for Leonard’s career were you?Comment

The difference is I ain’t a know-nothing casual who dry humps the 0 on someone’s record. I’ve read the books, watched the tapes, did everything in my power to rank all the greats accordingly.
Leonard > Mayweather lolComment

But Marciano man. That guy was once a century phenomenon. They don't make people like that anymore. Like my grandfather. Someone slammed the trunk of a car onto his hand at a shop. He didn't even flinch. Didn't make a sound. Just said, "Hey, open it up; it's on my hand." (Mangled hand). You'd think someone just brushed up against him the way he acted. People back then were so much tougher than they are now.

I think Marciano was a better fighter than Floyd, to be honest. In a different way, in a more pure way. I also like him because he never should have been able to do what he did. Too small, with T-Rex arms. Should have never happened for him. But he willed it to happen. That's a fighterComment
