How badly would a defeat to Ortiz affect Mayweather ATG standing.

[D4thincarnation]

I have around the high 40s to the early 50s at the moment, but a loss to a fighter of Victor Ortiz standard would make have drastically downgrade my opinion on Floyd.

If Mayweather lost to Pacquiao, there would be no shame in losing to the greatest fighter of his generation and would maybe drop a few places.

But losing to Ortiz he could well drop outside the top 100 for me.

For the record I think he will beat Ortiz quite comfortably, perfect style, experience and level of talent for Floyd.


Where do you rank Floyd on your ATG list and where would losses to Ortiz, Pacquiao, Martinez and Khan drop him to on your ATG list?

Floyd at the moment: ATG 45-55
Floyd if he lost to Pacquiao: ATG 55-65
Floyd if he lost to Martinez: ATG 65-75
Floyd if he lost to Khan: ATG 70-80
Floyd if he lost to Ortiz ATG 95-105

ATG rankings are meaningless, and 99.999% of the members on here isn't knowledgeable enough to even make a somewhat fair list.

He'd still be a great, great, fighter. One of the absolute best in the last two decades, let's leave it at that.

cool losing a fight drops you 50 places? In that case RJJ isn't even top 500.

D4th, remember when I said there are moments where some of your posts make me facepalm so hard that I break my nose, you remember that right? This is one of the those moments.

I'd be schocked if he loses. He'd probably drop out of my top 100 if I had one.

I don't have a list, but some people overrate him IMO. His level of competition doesn't warrent that high of a ranking.

This is a ridiculous and lame thread, but to answer the question if Floyd lost to Ortiz and how would he be viewed after it. It really all depends on

how he lost
did he rematch Ortiz and what happened there?
how did the rest of his career go

Fans nowadays make huge deals about a loss, it's pathetic.

You can't put a fighter down that much for losing a fight.
