Floyd Mayweather the greatest ever, Period.

[Mojita]

I agree, he is very talented and extremely technical but he lacks the heart and true confidence to challenge himself like those greats did. Floyd played this magician role using opportunistic time frames and clever excuse making concepts to conveniently sidestep the fights that people wanted to see.

I think him taking this Guerrero fight will prove to be a mistake for him though. He sees a pudgy, slow, make-shift welter who hs a good record that he can "expose" in the ring. I think he will prepare for the Guerrero that fought Berto and that style and he will walk into a a fight with a guy that will stick him up with a long jab in his face all night.

Guerrero has already made references to Floyd's size and the need to have several game plans. Ghost will confuse him by boxing and then turning on the pressure and heat periodically to confuse and discourage Floyd as the fight progresses. I think this may be Floyd's last fight if he either loses or gets hurt in this one.

Agreed for the most part . But while I think Ghost is a good fighter and can give Floyd lots of problems I think Floyd takes this one easily . He wouldn't have picked Ghost unless he saw something he can run off with . I think most will be surprised how good hell look againest him . But if Ghost actually turns it up and gives Floyd a hard fight I Wouldn't be surprised either ..

Stupdiest topic i've seen in a while.

Reminds me of all the people who used to say RJJr. was the greatest of all time back when he was undefeated.

Prime for prime I still say RJJr. is greater than Floyd.

Neither are greater than SRR though.

rjj is definitely greater than mayweather

It's refreshing to see how open to debate you are on this, Barry.

[HardAss]

greatest wasted talent more like it.

roberto duran, more appropriately, if we are talking about 135.

at 147 i wouldn't pick whitaker to beat floyd mayweather. i'd only give him a shot at 135.

duran is an odd case. if he shows up at his very best he could very well beat floyd at whichever weight, obviously with 135 being his best.

Duran at his best beats Floyd with little problem. Duran/Pernell is 50/50 at 135. 147 I give the edge to Duran.

Pernell may well be the best boxer I've ever seen

SRL would have beat FM..ray knocked out his dad..like farther like son

[Taaj Manzoor]

Only haters can't agree with this statement, he has truly shown why he is the greatest.

[hugh grant]

He aint the greatest of this era. Pac is, and then you have BH and JC who also are. Earlier generation like DLH are greater and Pernel and so on. Floyd falls further down the pecking order with each decade we go back. Somone who has constantly needed warm up fights for half of his career cant be the greatest at anything, other than being a sympathy case.

Lets give FLoyd another warm up fight, he needs it with his self induced, of his own doing, self preservation lay offs.
