Not Hopkins, not Roy Jones, not Floyd and even other active fighters and trainers are making a mockery of him. He's 34 years of age and still waiting on one of these smaller guys to move up and fight him.
    Floyd has only fought in TWO of the original divisions.

    Lightweight and welterweight.

    Some of the really great fighters (Billy Conn, Manny Pacquiao, Sam Langford, Roberto Duran, etc) fought in FIVE of the original divisions.

    Neither Golovkin nor Mayweather have any claim to being TBE.

      This is not 1925. It's 2016 and the sport has advanced. You're bringing up "original" divisions as if it means something. Newsflash, there is no best ever because it's impossible to compare eras. We don't know how Jake Lamotta and Sugar Ray Robinson would perform in todays time. Floyd uses TBE as a marketing tool just like Ali used "The Greatest."

      Mayweather moved up 24 pounds! Golovkin hasn't even moved up 8.

        By far the worst thread I've ever seen.

          Floyd Mayweather would have really proven himself by moving up and fighting GGG at 160, but he was afraid of being knocked out.
