Floyd Mayweather may well be the best fighter to ever lace up a pair of gloves

I agree with you about the ring IQ and computer like boxing but you can't say he's the greatest when his career isn't even over. For one I don't think he can't be beaten. Inside the ring everyone can lose. Losing to Canelo would be serious set back but wouldn't hurt his HOF status. Racking up a series of KO defeats by every bum off the street like Roy Jones wouldn't be good either.

He cherrypicks too much

I would normally take the opportunity to make fun of this thread, but Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a hell of a fighter, and it's a damn shame most the up and coming fighters these days don't take a lesson from his work ethic outside the ring.

Once he and Pac and Marquez and Hopkins are gone, what are we left with as far as truly great fighters? Maybe Ward? Rigondeaux? Maybe Golovkin if he lives up to the hype?

Kind of sucks knowing that, as much as I wish Floyd and Pac would GTFO so the sport could move on from them.

His mental aspect is unmatched,whatever mistake he makes once he does not make again.The man is like a computer in the ring he calculates everything and whatever you think you are having success with he takes away. Add in to that he is down right tough,when you actually hit him he is disgusted with himself and wants to punish you,there is no fighter alive that can defeat him,NONE!!!.Floyd is the best and even at 36 is to fast,to crafty and to smart.He works harder then any fighter and on top of that he studies you,he knows your style better then you know your own style.Sure this thread will get a lot of criticism and haterit but who cares? You can not beat this man....HE IS BOXING AND DEFINES EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR

Does he walk on water, turn bread into fish and pay your bills? The hagiography is stomach churning.

Larry go home, you're drunk.

Are you freaking serious "in terms of accomplishments" NO!!! "but based on skill IQ strength work ethic" YES!! go stand in front of the mirror and slap yourself 10 times.What more is there to accomplish i thought a boxers goal or dream was to win world titles.

You know, one can judge based on what a fighter possesses, Floyd has way too many dimensions, what can't he do in the ring? So I stand by that, in terms of skills, ring IQ, mental strength, work ethics, he's arguably the best to lace them up. Not saying he is but it's arguable, very few have that complete of an arsenal, very few.

Stop. You're going to make some brains explode around here.

What a load of bumsniffery and nonsense. Clearly, we can see Larry has learned absolutely nothing.

Why i love Floyd??he is flawless,impeccable and an artist..he reminds me of what i could have been,talent with no ceiling,dedication with no slack,100 percent given at all times.This man lets nothing stand in the way of what he loves and anyone who follows this damn sport HAS to respect that..THE SPORT COMES BEFORE ANYTHING AT ALL TIMES!!!!! Thats why he does not lose..TELL ME IN YOUR LIFE WHAT DO YOU GIVE 100 PERCENT FOR??? ANYTHING POSITIVE PLEASE TELL ME!!!

100 percent sober thats my honest opinion and he motivates me,when i go to the gym late night i think"THE ONLY PEOPLE UP ARE ME AND FLOYD" His dedication to his sport or anything should inspire people to dedicate themselves to something positive..im done with drugs and getting hi for your info..i am happy being me and living life

Hardwork...Dedication. Now that's some serious nut kissing, when a fan buys in the campaign propaganda. I wonder if Floyd was dedicated 100%when he "retired" from the sport? It's just creepy to see the brainwashing of a stalker like fan.
