Is Floyd Mayweather Jr Greater Than These Fighters?

[-EX-]

Benitez...Benitez did beat Duran(not the best Duran), Cervantes, and Palomino but Floyd has gone up to multiple weightclasses and dominated against good opposition...

I think he would beat JCC and Benitez...Benitez would be a close defensive snorefest probably unless Floyd changed his style up...

Haven't watched much of Marciano or LaMotta, so idk...

[Versatility]

what has marciano done???

for retiring undefeated!!!

[M.I Truth ?]

The talk of who is greater is a tough debate because of eras weight classes and other circumstances. I think Floyd is a ATG. Wherever he is rated among the others isn't important to me.

Why???????

[Heeb]

I haven't watched a lot of LaMotta. He's better than everyone else listed though.

what has marciano done???

He was heavyweight champion of the world from 1952 to 1955, and went 49-0. He was an exciting fighter who KOed most of his opponents - two of his fights were selected as "Fight of the Year".

Like Floyd, some of his opponents were older, although most were not. But he defeated his oldest opponent Jersey Joe Walcott (same age as Shane) more impressively by KO.

Rocky was a small HW, and virtually all of his opponents were taller and had a reach advantage. It was amazing that he achieved so much with a 67" reach and much shorter arms than Mayweather.

Why???????

I just haven't...my boxing knowledge is pretty much from the early 80's until now...and major heavyweight fights in the 70's(Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman,etc.)

They were boxing wayyy before me so I can't really judge how significant a win may have been at the time without jus reading BoxRec...

[Bhopreign]

In terms of talent I think he is, in terms of being able to win fights in different ways and show different styles in the ring, yes.

for retiring undefeated!!!

Many fighters retired undefeated.

I haven't watched a lot of LaMotta. He's better than everyone else listed though.

lamotta is way overrated, just because he beat robinson when he was about 20 pounds heavier

the guy is a very one-dimensional fighter, he at times had decent head movement, but overall very overrated, floyd would pummel him, badly
