Comments Thread For: Mancini: If Mayweather Beats GGG, Top 10 of All-Time

[Bronx2245]

Thats fair. I mean top 10 of all time? Id never be able to accept that but if Floyd beat GGG he'd definitely rank. Just has to many losses to be an all time great

Where's B-Hop, Oscar, Pacquiao, or Cotto, on your list? Are any of those 4 ranked higher than Mayweather, on your list?

Except GGG is an Olympic Medalist, and world amateur champion. Floyds resume is surprisingly lacking in anyone with any solid boxing background.

Its not the same thing as learn on the job Canelo.

Medalists are a special breed.

Floyd.
Holyfeild.
Roy Jones Jr.
Andre Ward.
Rigondeaux.
Lomchenko.
Klitchko.
Whitaker.
Lewis.
Leonard.
Ali.
Patterson.
Frazier.

Yet FLoyd never seems to want to fight anyone of them. Never wants to fight anyone with world class boxing skills.

Why?

Audley Harrison was an Olympic gold medalist.

First of all GGG resume is devoid of elite boxers because they've all avoided him up to this point. Now if Mayweather fought Golovkin that would do a lot to silence the criticism that he avoids taking risks which I do think will be the lingering criticism after he's retired. That said, I don't think he'd take that fight because it's way too risky.

Hall of Famer Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini says Floyd Mayweather Jr. is never going to truly be "The Best Ever" ... until he steps in the ring and beats another great fighter in the final fight of his career on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. A dangerous fighter like WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin.

Mancini -- a 2015 Hall of Fame inductee -- was outside Ecco restaurant in New York when he sounded off about Mayweather fighting Andre Berto in September.

He also said on the air that GGG would end the Mayweather fairytale

This isn't even a winnable fight for Mayweather, especially at this age, Mickey Garcia said it best when he said people don't know boxing. At this stage fighting much bigger men is only gonna prove more difficult.

Who on this list, should Floyd should have fought?

Who on this list, should Floyd should have fought?

All of them. Duh!!!

[MrTambourineMan]

Floyd is not "TBE," and a win over GGG will not make him TBE. But he should be ranked higher than the following:

George Foreman, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Aaron Pryor, Alexis Arguello, Pernell Whitaker, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar de la Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Miguel Cotto.

Don't kid yourself.

Where do you rank Floyd all time?
