    mayweathers roll is perfected to his style.......thats not the impressive part about mayweather to me. I like the way he can anticipate a punch & make you miss with cat reflexes (mixed up with the defense)

    as their style progresses each fighter does their own little things thats "new"

    boxers have their own little traits in which you can easily pick them out of the bunch.........i can't even find a fighter that has 70% of alis style (all of my years watching the sport) & when a fighter looks very close to another fighter it's beyond rare.............

    thats like saying basketball players do nothing "new" from the past (as a game no. because the game remains the same. score points) but as a individual yes. can you find me a past player that looked like Michael jordan? maybe you're able to find 1 or 2 traits but no where near jordans complete style (& nine times out of 10 those 1 or 2 traits really doesn't look like the way jordan did it) even in a video game....when you play with jordan you know it's meant to be him. you know that it's meant to be his uniqueness & style..............

    so in closing mayweather does do things "new" that separates him from other fighters. it's what makes him recognizable as mayweather........

          Archie Moore used more of a crab shell defense (like smoking joe fraizer)

          I'll give you Ezzard Charles........he used it in spots.

                I can't rank him because I have never seen the guy fight. Rankings are resume AND ability. Remember that. The way RJJ is the most gifted boxer of all time. He has nowhere near the ATG'est resume. So his RANKING is lower than it could have been. Greb has without a doubt a top 10.....**** closer to a top 5 resume EVER but I have not seen the guy throw a significant punch so I have no clue if his ability along with his resume will allow me to rank him.

                      No one "****ting" on fighters we get to see, how is saying that Greb is top 5 based on resume "****ing" on modern fighters?. Do you believe that Ryan Bailey's a greater athlete than Jesse Owens? after all Bailey would obliterate him in a race and secondly if I called Jesse Owens the greatest athlete of all time would I be "****ting" on modern sprinters like Bolt, Bailey or Blake?
