boxing experts that rate floyd as an atg, who are they?

[infamous larryx]

Greatness is not about the quantity of your fights, it's about the quality of your fights. Floyd already has more pro fights than Sugar Ray Leonard but the quality of Leonard's opponents are top notch. Leonard only had 40 pro fights but he is without a doubt a top 15 ATG due to the quality of his opposition.

i agree

[jnoon3225]

he will be an atg but he could have been much greater.

exactly!!!

Floyd could be a top 10 ATG if he just fought Cotto, Margarito and the rest of the Welterweights from 2007-2009.. Floyd was nowhere to be found. He doesn't have the balls

[Pacquiao'd]

He will be an ATG but he can and will much greater since his career isnt over.

fixed.......

3rd left over baby 3rd left over enjoyyyyyyy

[Tomislav III]

for real, ive never heard of anyone regarding floyd as an atg , only here on these boards....please post links and videos if there's any...would love to a watch / read them.....

He might be #50, just edging out Tyson now, but is he better than guys like Erik Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, Alexis Arguello, MAB, Monzon, Whitaker, BHop, RJJ, and Holyfield? The guys that round out my bottom list of the top 50 are all better than Floyd Mayweather in reputation, achievements, appeal, and performance.


Mayweather just hasn't fought anyone, and not for a lack of talent around him either.

For all the qualms I have with Pacquiao's recent choices, he did fight and beat three Mexican all time greats, Ricky Hatton at a weight that he dominated completely, and many other good opponents even before the Cotto victory.

ATG Potential, skill and athleticism/conditioning.

but what did he prove? Nothing after he beat Castillo and Corrales.

He wasted his talent and his career by avoiding the best and the most dangerous.

3rd left over baby 3rd left over enjoyyyyyyy

Hatton was a left over by Collazo at 147.. Hatton has no business fight Floyd there.

Marquez has no business at Welterweight. **** Floyd has to cheat his way to victory

Mosley was a left over by Cotto - Look at his face battered after the fight. Fighting an inactivity for 1 year and 7 months is a cowardly move.

Judah lost to Baldomir before the fight.

Baldomir already lost 10 times when Floyd fought him.

Floyd ducked all the Welterweights,

Well fought and beat...., no guarantee of wins against those guys, hence Floyd not fighting them.
