    Well I do agree that there's WAY to many fighters for one to be called the greatest specially in a sport that's been around this long. I just don't see anything great about him maybe the greatest at avoiding & cherry picking. He's never in a exiting fight, he never fights who the fans want to see & he rarely does fight & when he does it's with some one who had ZERO chance of beating him. Is that what great really is???
    So who had a chance of beating him? Fans wanted Mosley/Corrales/Castillo/DLH

      Floyd may definitely be the (greatest matchmaker) the sport ever had. But that's about where the greatest anything ends with him.

          Talented but certainly not the greatest.

            Floyd may well be the trickiest fighter to fight of this generation of what weve seen of him, against who hes fought. But being arguably the trickiest dont make you the greatest.

            But then again, its easy to look good against bums. And to be fair to Floyd its easy to look good once in a while, while not having to fight that often and putting it on the line every 6 months at the very least.

                You are free to believe Mayweather is the greatest boxer of all time. You can never prove it or change the opinion of those that think he is not the greatest or those that think he is no where near the greatest,not even close. You have films. So what. There is lots of film on lots of great boxers and yet fans and experts never agree on how these great fighters should be ranked. I have seen Mayweather fight many times and there is tons of film I can watch on my computer if I want to see more of him. I think he is a great fighter but not the best ever. I saw his first fight with Castillo and I rewatched it many times. I thought Mayweather lost that fight and Mayweather was in the middle of his prime. How can he be the best of all time when he gets beat by Castillo who nobody thinks is anywhere near the best of all time. I know officially Mayweather won that fight but most fans think he lost. I saw washed up old Mosley hurt Mayweather badly but Mosley was to washed up to finish the job. I have seen fighters his weight that I think could beat him prime for prime. I think Jose Napoles and Roberto Duran beat him at lightweight and Robinson, Hearns, Trinidad and Leonard beat him at welterweight. I know you don't agree with me but that's ok because I don't agree with you that Mayweather is the greatest of all time.

                    You dont have to go as far back as Duran to find someone to beat him. There are guys on Floyds resume who would have beat him in their prime. SSM wuold have beat Floyd, as would DLH. Pac would have beat him given the chance. Floyd knows his limitations so wont let the fights happen.
                    Castill also beat Floyd, but Floyd won the rematch so good on him. But i guess its easier to win a rematch when given a gift decsion in your last fight. And on the same token harder for Castillo to put up such a might effort again, knowing he won the first fight but not being given the decision.

                      Greatest? No but his career isnt over yet so time will tell.

                      Of this/his generation? Yes.
