Floyd Mayweather Jr Is And All Time great: I know It And You Know It

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

He's a top 50 but he could've easily been a top 10. I don't think he'll ever be able to get there now.

floyd's the one ducking him.....he is known for that...

You know what, I mean Bob Arum ducked the fight. I don't blame Pacquiao.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Ok then, my mistake. Good ****, SRL is one of the smoothest fighters to lace them gloves.

Oh yeah you gotta love SRL.

I mean is hard to get tapes on them but if you study and do your homework you will realize how great they were.

See that quote right there says it all. Don't throw names out there if you never seen them fight. I don't go by what you tell me or some book you read.
How do you do your homework with nothing to study?

One you know about the records they have you study who they fight. You read articles of that day on what reporters had to say about that fight. I can tell you he was a non stop punching machine with a good chin. Only suffered 1 KO loss in 300 fights. And, that was early on in his career which was due because he suffered a broken arm. There this thing called the Hall of fame and Greb beat HOF'ers like Blackburn, Miske, Gibbons, Chip. Beat former champs like McCoy, top fighters like Smith, Livinsky, I think Harry Greb being able to win 260 pro fights only loosing 20 fights should mean he is one hell of a fighter don't you? He also beat Rosenbloom, Loughlan, Walker, Tunney. I mean his resume is nuts. All them are in the HOF...

Sam Langford was a top fighter at lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, and heavyweight. How crazy is that for him to be a top level fighter in those 5 divisions. And, he didn't get that many chances of winning a belt cuz of the color of his skin. If what he did is not greatness then I don't know what is. Like I said maybe you should do you homework more when it comes to the history of the sport.

Every fighter thats in the Hall of fame has some kind of great accomplishments. My point is how do you rank fighters you have never seen?

[civicvx]

Please dont stoop to the low of *******s.

Id say Mayweather is a Top30-40 ATG, but no higher as of yet.

If Mayweather is top 30-40 ATG than Pacquiao is #1 ATG.

The same way you ranked them now. Everything is ranked on who you beat and your accomplishments...

[fdotorres]

Well you can say he fought a slighlty younger, and heavier DLH. Also a undamaged Hatton.

undamaged? collazo had already taxed that ass at 147 and he got robbed

hatton wasn't gonna beat any top WW champ, the collazo fight proved that

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

You have never seen the fighters that they have beat. Look stop reading bio's. Get some tape and watch the fighters you speak of. I'm not saying they are not great, I' m saying how do you rank them over fighters you have seen in the ring. Just because some book ranks them top this or top that don't mean **** to me. I go by what I know and what I have seen.
