Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Cements His Position as All-Time Great

[hugh grant]

Floyd is an ATG. But Pac is still a higher ATG. Getting 4 rounds off of Floyd with a shoulder injury is a big achievement

[salitap4p#1]

He's an ATG but not so much because of this win.

JMM beat Pac in his third and fourth fights, both times being more impressive, not just because of the KO but because he didn't have the height and reach advantages Floyd had so he had to temper Pac using a much more dangerous skillset than shooting a punch and moving out of there.

Had he done this in 2009, fine. But after JMM sees off Pac twice, it's not the same.

...Floyd avoids a fight at all costs. Hand picks opponents after their prime, catch weigjts that favor him or after they have been beaten up. He will never reach that level of all time great fighter...

You just described Many P"excuse"iao

Hand picks opponents after their prime (Mosley)

catch weigjts that favor him (De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito)

after they have been beaten up (Hatton, Rios, Morales 1)

Fraud of the Decade= Pacquiao

Has he ever even been in one FOTY?

Nope, cant fault him for that. You can fault him for waiting out all of his opponents. And only fighting them when they are faded.

Pacquaio would be a 1st ballot HOF fighter based purely on his career below welterweight.

Remember, he went from 130 to 147 in 12 months. titles from Flyweight - Jr Middle...

I mean that is already a 6 division champion, instead of 8.

Just like Duran. Everything he did at 147 and above was just icing on the cake.

Floyd is the best of this era. Let's leave it at that.

Floyd > Pac...........unanimous
