BTW, Floyd's win over Marquez is comparable if not greater than Whitaker's win over Nelson.
Floyd has nothing close to a prime Chavez Sr. on his resume though.
Give me a break! You guys can't be serious.
Whitaker is still clearly greater at this point. Both resume and accomplishments. I don't think Mayweather could get past Whitaker in all honesty. He'd have to beat Pac definitely at the very least.
Larry mate, what the hell is wrong with you? Mayweather has deeper resume and gater accomplishments already?
What happened to that common sense I've been seeing lately?

Don't see him getting past Whitaker unless he beats Pacquaio and Martinez.

I can't believe it's got to a stage where a win over Azumah Nelson is being discredited like it's nothing.

Originally posted by Capaedia View PostNo... I'm asking exactly what I posted, I'm asking whether Roman considers Marquez an ATG, as he said Floyd hasn't fought any.
Pea and the Prof: They were both prime champs, both same size! Both fighting in the division next to each other.
Marquez had just moved to 135 from 130 while Floyd had been a 147 and 154 pound champ for years. He was also clearly much bigger.

I have a feeling a lot of people here are basing their rankings on ability over accomplishments. And remember on paper Whitaker drew with chavez and lost to Oscar.
