Stats don't lie. Mayweather is not better than Ali or Sugar Ray.

    That's why it's an overall comparison, not just based on one stat. And a title defense is a title defense, whether it's in only 1 division or not.

      And the stats he listed actually shed light on Floyds opinion as having merit

          You are correct, this was missed. But he still wins the category.

            You've got to take into account there being 4 major titles in each division now and twice as many divisions.

                I only counted fights as a single championship. It's unfair to knock an older fighter just because there are way more sanctioning bodies today.

                  I don't see how that's possible when he is outnumbered in almost every category except win percentage. And his career is not over.

                    In my opinion, a boxers career counts from when he first puts the gloves on. Just my opinion.

                      My point was it's easier to be a champion now with 68 world titles (not counting super champions) available in boxing compared to 8 back in the day.
