Would Floyd be the GOAT?

[Xi_]

Not race baiting at all.

I mentioned Oscar because that's one of Floyd's biggest wins.

you're an idiot and a racist.....you race bait without even realizing it.

EDIT: Shouldn't have called you an idiot......apology to you. You did race bait though.

16 title defenses? against who? and who did he beat for those titles?

The mandatories and several good contenders to the belt

He has literally been handed title belts man

Lets be honest, floyd won't be the goat if he beats GGG because GGG hasn't proven that he's great. Beating a 160lbs+ version of Andre Ward at this point of Floyd's career would be a top 10 win OAT

Naw beating Ward under 168 would mean Ward was drained and he would get 0 credit,plus it would just be a circus show

No, beating GGG doesn't elevate Floyd in the least as GGG. despite the hype HBO gives him, has not beaten enough quality opponents to move Floyd up the ladder of ATG's.

If you are someone that values beating bigger men over beating better men, than it might elevate him.

Floyd's true greatness is represented by the fact that Shane, ODH and Manny, men who have documented history of fighting any and everyone all waited to fight Floyd.

What made Floyd so difficult or special that they would wait to fight him?

Naw man he clearly ducked them(even tho the facts prove differently)

[IronDanHamza]

If Floyd beat Golovkin at 154 people would say he was drained.

Floyd couldn't be the GOAT regardless but in the eyes of these fans he beat both Klitschko brothers on the same night and they still wouldn't give him credit.

How many times over the years have fans on here said Floyd is ducking someone then after he beats them discredit it? Numerous times now.

And I'm talking immediately before these fights happen.

Floyd and GGG's resume are not even in the same universe

by fight 33 mayweather was already lineal in 2 divisions(11 total defenses) and had his first fight in a 3rd one


Mayeather had a better resume than ggg does now after his 3-5 years in the game



GGG is another overrated puncher who gets hyped but resume is lacking.

The mandatories and several good contenders to the belt

He was the WBA regular champion and then they elevated him to full champion when he didn't fight Felix Sturm


He didn't even beat a champion or titlist for the belt


Mayweather has never won a vacant title his entire career
