Is Floyd Mayweather The Best Ever (TBE)?

[Lords]

It is nearly impossible to say if Floyd is the best ever. But, we can come to conclusion and say that he is the best of our generation. I have never seen a fighter like Floyd make such easy work of fighters the way he does. People always say that Floyd fights are boring, well that's because his skill set is so good other fighters can't compete. His hand speed, quickness, countering, accuracy, and defense are second to non. Floyd might be the best ever but his resume might not show it, yet.

Floyd's career above 135 is all smoke mirrors, careful matchmaking is all it is.

Floyd isn't enough of a ring warrior to be TBE.

Sam Langford who started at lightweight was shorter and has a shorter reach than Floyd, yet he fought everybody, including heavyweights. Henry Armstrong and Harry Greb were fearless warriors who fought anybody, including bigger opponents. Roberto Duran went up to middleweight and defeated Iran Barkley without demanding a catch weight.

Floyd had Saul Alvarez drain down to 152 instead of fighting him at 154. Perhaps the weight didn't make a difference, but the catch weight showed Floyd lacks the courage of those great boxers.

Dra
Weight draining Canelo is like Michel Spinks asking Larry Holmes who can't weigh no more than 200 pounds. I blame Canelo Though I would have just come in at 154 but after watching the glove fiasco I'm sure Mayweather would have never fought him had he come in at 154, he wanted him a weak 152

Of course he is not the best ever. But he is def one of the greatest of all time , people won't NEVER forget the name. He's been a P4P fighter basically all of his carreer , has never been dropped , never been beaten. He has also paved the way for fighters to be more aware of their deserved finances.

Floyd is not a hype job , he didn't have a 2 or three year run , it's being going on non stop ever since his 1996 pro year debut.

If a guy with Floyd's resume (look at a list of his best wins and try to find one that isn't somehow tainted or just plain mediocre) is top 10 all time then boxing as a sport is pitiful.

I think he had the skills to be something more than he turned out to be. But it was his choice, in his own words, a "a rich coward".

I'm seeing some people refer to Floyd Mayweather as TBE (The Best Ever).

That's what he calls himself "TBE".

Look. If Floyd wants me to call him "TOE-BEE", I can do that. But he is not the best ever.

I don't rate fighters with a weight handicap such as walterweight tbe. To me tbe has to be a heavyweight.
