    I challenge you to do the same thing with Joe Louis.

    EDIT: Hell, make a thread asking whether Ezzard Charles or Manny Pacquiao has a better resume.

    That'll show you just how much a consensus is worth in some circumstances. This is one of them.

      You can't be more wrong.

      I'm tired of making polls.

      I dare you make a poll Charles vs Pacquaio BUT MAKE THE Votes Public..

      It won't be as 'lopsided' for Pacquaio as you hint.... In fact Charles might straight up win the poll.

      Not all people might have watched Charles.. but the name along speak volumes.

      What is it you trying to say anyways?

      Floyd is top 5 last 25 years?

        As to Charles.. if you are a firm believer of


        1. Burley being a top5 WW and MW
        2. Moore being a top 3 LHW
        3. Louis not being as far removed from his prime as many consider and ranking Walcott in your top 12, also if you believe he really beat Walcott
        4. You consider the Walcott 4, Elmer Ray and Harold Johnson losses to really be a wins
        5. If you have Bivins and Marshall in your top60 lists
        6. Having a strong emphasis on prime dominance - then only Robinson, Jones, Pep, Mayweather come close, the other candidates all have more prime losses. Armstrong, Greb, Langford just were never quite as dominant.
        7. You don't care about none prime losses


        Than ya.. Charles is top 5.

        If you DON'T believe in the above.. He's not top 5 and probably fall around 10-20.


        (All time All Divisions rankings)


        Pacquaio and Floyd are around 30-40

            1- Lewis wasn't prime against Rahman

            2- Lewis was robbed against Mccall

            3- He avenged both defeats brutally

            4- The wind from Lennox's jab would have killed Floyd..

            Not ring dead.. but real life dead dead.


            5- Stop name dropping Charles like you know what the hell he's all about.

            Tell me about the circumstances leading up to the Burley fight.. give me a break down in regards to how far past prime was Joe?

            Give me a break down of Charles in regards to his h2h domiance of the illustrious 175 division.

            You don't know shyt about Charles and you know it.. You just name drop his name because 90% of the people on this forum are morons who think anyone that drops the name 'robinson or charles' knows about boxing.


            tell me about Layne, Elmer Ray, Marshall, Yarosz and what those mean?

            Compare is 46-51 run to Robinson's peak ?

            You literally have no idea what the hell is going on do you?

                Lewis-McCall II was an early stoppage.

                McCall obviously had the power to turn the fight around with one shot, he wasn't visibly hurt.

                Bad, bad stoppage.

                  Stop avoiding the subject.. and talking about a 90's fight which you know about.

                  I exposed you as someone who literally don't know anything about Charles and who just name dropped.

                  Answer my questions in regards to Charles.

                    ONly fighters I thought for sure would beat Mayweather in his ERA was Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest and at that time none of the fans was calling for Mayweather to fight any of those fighters they was busy trying to get him to fight Cotto and Margarito...I'm just going to say it...those two end up being some of the most OVERRATED FIGHTERS OF THEIR ERA! And in their Prime they would not have defeated Mayweather anyway!

                    So bottom line in my honest unbiased opinion, it is nothing on Mayweather Resume currently and it is no fight(s) currently that can move his Resume Up to "TOP 5"

                    His ERA just did not produce many Greats or All Time Greats so he is the product of a WEAK ERA and he as the start of the HYPE ERA...Mayweather himself was hyped but after him fighters was Hyped Up so they could try to find somebody to compete with him and most of them FAILED to live up to the HYPE
                    you cant say a fighter will beat another fighter if he never fought him. so if thats the case ali should have never fought frazier, norton, shavers, spinks, etc. because everybody thought he was going to win. come on man its boxing. if somebody is in your division whooping ass or winning you have to fight them to stay the best. and mayweather has been inactive these pasted 6-7 years since the de la hoya fight. only fighting once in a while. how can you compare that resume to others that are putting in ACTUAL fights. not winning fantasy match ups by fan boys.

                      break down these fights. Explain where Charles made the mistake of counter punching in the Bivins fight.. explain what Marshall did in regards to making Charles alter his game plan?
