      LOL Mayweather is not the best, but he did avoid the best fighters of the last ten years. Manny Pacquiao!

      You can't be great when your reputation of avoiding fighters is greater that your reputation of fighting them.

        accomplishment wise? No way.

        One on one ? Nah

        Pure Boxing skill? arguably, along with Whitaker.

            no power at 135 and above
            lost to castillo by a wide margin
            got a lucky close win in the rematch
            judah out skilled him
            de la hoya out worked him
            cotto bust him up
            mosley showed how easy he is to hit- mosley gassed after 2 rounds

            scared ****less of paul williams
            martinez
            toni marg (peak)
            and ducked manny forever

            i know ray leonard was a overatted feather fisted show boater but at least he had a good fight or 2

                true
                but also a sense of shame that he never fought the people we wanted him to fight

                moseley and DLH before 2005
                cotto at 140-147
                toni marg
                martinez
                manny
                paul williams

                i rate mosley higher than floyd because of his guts

                even though shane is a cheat

                    When all is said and done I believe Mayweather's fans will say he's the greatest, but in general I think he'll be regarded as this generation's best and "One of" the best fighters in history as guys like Ali, Leonard, Joe Louis, and a host of others are looked at similarly. If he were to retire today, I still couldn't put him over Sugar Ray Robinson or maybe even Willie Pep, and considering he doesn't have much to choose from until his retirement, it's more than likely how I'll view him.
