    Presuming he ever fights them both and were to beat them both he would be around the Top 25.

      If Floyd wants to make a statment then he should fight him. He wont, though.

      And it wouldn't take him anywhere near Top 15 ATG status either.
      Of course it would. People are overrating the fighters of the past. Floyd is one of the best defensive fighters we've ever seen. If he beats a guy like Martinez who is a much bigger man and equally as athletic that's pretty damn impressive. On top of already solid resume.

      If JCC and Whitaker are regularly listed in the top 20 ever then Floyd should be too if he beats Pac or Martinez. Hell I think he should be listed over JCC now but thats a topic for another day...

        Shiiiit, Larry has both Roy and B-Hop in the top 20-25 ATG I believe. So of course he will have Floyd in the top 10-15 ATG if he's able to accomplish this feat.

                One of the most anticipated fights of the history of boxing is two fights away and this topic is made? Martinez will have to wait til Money massacres Pacquiao.

                    Mayweather is a great fighter. I consider him to be atleast a Top 50 ATG at this point.

                    If he were to beat Martinez it would enhance his legacy of course but not anywhere near the Top 15.

                    The history of Boxing is way way too vast.
