Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time: Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I have Usyk higher on the ATG list.

Yeah because Usyk has multiple wins against future hall of famers right? I like Usyk and he has an argument for being the most accomplished active fighter, but when the best win on your resume is an overrated Anthony Joshua, you’re not higher on the atg list than Floyd.

He was no Nigel Rafferty

As a very young child, I thought Ali was Superman. Later I thought Sugar Ray Leonard was the GOAT. As a Young Adult, Sweet Pea Whitaker taught me what it meant to be a Master Boxer. Then Roy Jones Jr. was doing things I never thought possible. Then came Pretty Boy Floyd! It was like he took something from all of them, and created a Masterpiece! Salute to Money Mayweather!

Everyone called Floyd out, Floyd could have fought anyone he wanted to, there are many he didn't fight, trust me

Two points:

1. It's a sin to not call out his fight with 'El Matador' Jesus Chavez as arguably the best showing. Im not talking complete blowout, I'm talking diversity of adjustments and fighting through relentless CLEAN pressure. It's the best showcase of how talented he really was.

2. NSB widely believes resume doesn't matter when considering greatness (which is why so many of them consider Crawford higher) , yet I predict at least one will come in and say "they were old when Floyd fought them" (despite Crawford only beating old versions of guys) . So...for your next comparing, maybe you also talk about other legends and the ages of the opponents they fought.
