Is Floyd Mayweather The Best Ever (TBE)?

[BigAlexSand]

Half those beating has beens and overrated c fighters.

Same for Pacquiao by all the standards most fans pick at... Damn near every fighter in history or today is scrutinized for what ever reason. His accomplishments are currently next to none outside of the past greats with 7 divisions and 1 major title. Fact!

[Zaroku]

Floyd needs to update his slogan to OTBE 'One of the best ever'.

I don't think anybody would have a problem with that as its true.

This man makes sense. He might be one of the best 25 ever, and that is a great group of warriors to be in!

If Chavez would have retired @ 87 -0

68 kos, what would Floyd say?

[GTTofAK]

He is a defensive fighter and isn't even the best defensive fighter ever. Floyds defense consists of running around the ring.

Sweet Pea could fight in a phone booth for 12 rounds and not get hit.

[Zaroku]

Nah, maybe one of the best of modern times... But he can't retire as "TBE" if he never fights pac man..

You never see greats like Marciano or Louis flaunt about their achievements though..

Joe Louis was a great man, he donated his full fight purse to the government to help the war effort. Only later to be destroyed by the IRS. How can that happen?

Floyd has boxing skills. He does. But it is unfair to compare him to high class guys from a different era.

In this current era, if you can't be famous for your achievements, be infamous for your comments to the media.

The best fought the best back then. There were just fewer guys to fight!

The
Population has increased, so if you can climb to the top, when there are more competitors, it indicates you may be better than the guys you are fighting!


Floyd said he wished he would gone to Haymon from the start. Other greats didn't have those options!

33 think Mayweather is the best of all time...

[Zaroku]

He is a defensive fighter and isn't even the best defensive fighter ever. Floyds defense consists of running around the ring.

Sweet Pea could fight in a phone booth for 12 rounds and not get hit.

Yep! I miss sweat pea! He gave boxers fits, no running. Sweat pea!

[Zaroku]

Yeah he's the best ever. There's nobody in the history of boxing who accomplished what Floyd did, and there's nobody who had more in-ring ability than him.

There are guys who hit harder for sure, there are guys who were more exciting, there were guys who were much better human beings outside the ring.

But there was NOBODY better at winning boxing matches than Floyd. If he had more punching power he would have been an absolute perfect fighter.

Chavez, if he retired after 87 wins, 68 kos would have stopped, and retired what would you say? Floyd should fight to 87 and 0 and I would agree that he is the best.

What about the real best ever, sugar Ray Robinson. Please study boxing history before you make any all encompassing claims.

Best regards,
Study & show your knowledge of boxing!
At one point Robinson had 111 wins, 3 weight classes, and 1 loss.

Now that was a hella of a man, he fought everyone, even bigger guys. No catch weights, hell of a man. Knocked fools out, while backing up, wicked skills. No PEDs, fought monthly, are you kidding me? He destroyed everyone, never ducked anyone, the only cherries he picked were out of a bowl, and chilled. Fed to him by his wife.

Please apply discrete computational concepts to the analysis of who is the best. Define your selection criteria, let others provide 'best ever' selection criteria, and then let's see if Floyd is better than Robinson.

Hell f***ing no! And take a look at the poll.
Seriously *****s you're outnumbered.

You know it's looking bad for them when known Floyd lovers are in the no column.
