Can Floyd Mayweather be considered an All-time-Great when he has never fought outside Vegas without hometown advantages?

    What is reason you position Mayweather there.
    ran through 9 hall of famers Diego Arturo Oscar Ricky Juan Shane Miguel Saul manny easily mopping 7 of them of them 1 being a top 15 all time manny

    Only 1 of the 9 hall of famers Oscar managed to take more than 3 clear rounds
    1. Sugar Robinson
    2. Henry
    3. Harry
    4. Sam
    5. Ezzard
    6. Willie
    7. Muhammad
    8. Roberto
    9. Joe
    10. Sugar Leonard
    11. Floyd
    12. Benny
    13. Pernell
    14. manny
    Sugar Leonard and Floyd can both be top 10 if place them ahead of Joe Louis. Reasonable

    Top 4 are the immortals. Modern boxing schedule doesn’t offer the fight frequency for anyone to breach into top 4

      May was brilliant If anyone had an idea about taxes a person has to pay, they'd understand

      Being the boss has "advantages"
      "You want what I have, COME and take it."

        Floyd ceded two advantages to fight Oscar

        wore Oscar's choice of gloves for him

        and the

        147 division

        one crooked ass judge scored it for Oscar too who max took 4 rounds: the 2nd, the 4th, the 6th, and possibly the 12th

        Floyd was smart enough to know when he was the b-side and when he was the a-side

        Once he became a-side he acted like it

          No one becomes the boss only ro act like an employee. Taking a title should always be difficult AF But the haters will never be satisfied Tears will forever ruin their mascara. " ..... Why do I have to GO win a title . "

            It appears the dumbass TS Jacobson doesn’t realize that 24 of Floyd’s 50 fights were not in Vegas.

            Worse are the co-signers in the thread.

            All you guys had to do was check.

            Geez the hatred and bigotry makes you guys do dumb stuff.

              he started fighting in Vegas so he can inject meds for his brittle hands, which would numb them during a fight aka magarito style punch without the plaster.

                That's not true.

                    Don't believe so, no. He has used it in the past. I don't see any evidence that he has used it since the mid 00's.

                    It's banned to use in Vegas (NSAC) a week before the fight and on fight day so your argument that he moved to Vegas to use Xylocaine is false.

                      so he's used it in the past. he was margaritoing his opponents without the actual plaster.
