Comments Thread For: Mayweather Ranks 3rd on BoxNation All-Time Great Poll

3rd? Objectively, he isn't even in the top 30. Putting Floyd 3rd is spitting at boxing history.

DLH has an incredible list of fighters he has faced. Tremendous.

But I don't see anybody putting him in their top 10 list.

Hagler vs Mayweather?



Mayweather couldn't stop Marquez.

The fuck is he going to do against a 160 pound Hagler?

There are simple mismatches through boxing history to relegate the next persons ranking of another's null and void.

This isn't a knock on FMJ, by the way.

But in no fucking alternate universe is Mayweather big enough to mess with that.

I agree DLH would not make the top 10 but as good as FMJ I don't think his third on the list I was just using his fights against DLH as a yard stick. FMJ is fantastic the best around today (maybe Canelo will prove me wrong we will wait and see) but third no, Top 10 possibly.

LOL at Calzaghe being on there.

Like, WTF?!

He isn't even an ATG.

I don't think we should take this list to seriously this is poll and not an official list - if this was done by legitimate sources I'm sure the list would look different.

Not as bad as i thought it would be, a lot of people just vote for their favourite fighter in polls like this.

ATG and P4P lists are a waste of time and of zero value. They only exist in peoples minds. People who are all fallible to bias.

They can never be deemed as fact nor measured with scientific certainty and are therefore merely nothing more than the results of a popularity survey.

greater than leonard, hagler and hearns? c'mon man...

the chicken boy ranks #3 in atg??? is this kind of a joke?

[mshap]

these 'greatest' voted rankings will always favor current or recent fighters over those from past eras simply because many will not have seen them fight --MW so high doesn't surprise me though -- has only had 2-3 fights that have been even remotely competitive -- maybe has lost a total of 20 rounds at most in his entire career -- overall quality of opposition not so great compared to guys like Leonard, Duran, Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson etc. though -- but in terms of all around skill level and durability, he should rank among the all time greats -- putting exact numeric rankings of this type is an exercise in futility but MW definitely should be in anyone's top group

[WalkerSmith1921]

Robinson should be #1 always any poll that says otherwise loses all credibility with me. Seeing Joe at #10 had me laughing, though to be honest I think Floyd at #3 is a bit high but he is on his way there regardless I don't care what anyone says. He's moved up a lot of weight divisions and rarely even challenged (Castillo/Oscar/Cotto) won each fight and is still going. If he beats Canelo if someone had him at #10 I wouldn't hate I think he is top 25 definitely right now.

I have to agree with you that Robinson should be #1 always and he will always be #1 for me. Ali, Louis and Moore are without a doubt top ten but to say Joe Cal is on a top ten is definitely ludicrous to say the least!
