    I doubt Paulie is saying Mayweather has accomplished the most in the sport. He's saying in fantasy head-to-head battles, his money is always on Money.

      Pauline is correct. I think Floyd against Leonard, hearns, an other legends would be good fights. I don't like to say so and so would win for sure cuz there is no way to tell but I think Floyd has a good chance of beating these guys. Who had they seen anywhere close to Floyd? A guy who can do everything and is damn near impossible to hit clean. People talk about the power Leonard and hearns had but that means nothing when u can't hit your opponent. I think they would push Floyd to a level we never saw from him. People mistake what Floyd hasn't had to do as something he can't do. The cotto fight for example: when has Floyd ever thrown that many punches? He understood he had to outwork cotto to win that fight, something he doesn't have to do against other fighters. He adjusts to every opponent he faces. Everyone looks good against other fighters until they run into Floyd. Counter punchers all of a sudden can't counter. Volume punchers get timid. Boxers get severely outboxed. No one can do what they normally do when they face this man. I think that would hold true to anyone he could ever fight.

        But its a bit of of a reach to say youd put money on FLoyd really, because there is nearly no basis for having such faith in a man who has cherry picked nearly his whole career.

        Floyd hasnt beaten any greats in their primes, so to put your money on Floyd is a bit wishful thinking really. Id bet Floyd senior would put his money on SRL to beat Floyd. Hes fought SRL afterall.

            Paulie is talking more 'in ring skill GOAT' than "best resume GOAT'

                Mayweather is more talented that a lot of ATG's, but not greater. It's more than just ability that made fighters like Ali great. It was the complete package, who he fought and how he beat them and Mayweather will never be on that level.

                    Why don't you just add every fighter 147 up that he didn't fight.

                    edit: No fighter in Mayweathers position would have chose Margarito and Cotto over DLH.

                      Disagree with everything you said except for the Floyd Sr comment. That's only because Sr is 2x as arrogant as his son and would never admit that his son is a more skilled fighter than himself.
