Anyone really believe Floyd is remotely close to being TBE ?

    not thee best ever, but one of the best.

    If Ray Robinson was in his prime in 2007-present, Floyd would have never came out of "retirement".

      If Ray Robinson was around in that period he would pretty much be Floyd Mayweather~

      Dude was all about the paper, was known to place money fights over challenging ones (LaMott 6 times over any of the black murders row even once) and was a known abuser of women.

            Floyd gives any fighter in history an L (in his perspective weight classes)or a extremly competitive fight. Floyd greatest weapons were his Einstein fight IQ and his paranoia to train w out leaving no stone unturned. Floyds a ****in dogg in the ring (which is highly overlooked.) I will certainly miss him as a fighter.

              Nope,

              Sugar Ray Robinson is TBE

              The greatest to ever step foot in a boxing ring.

                Please let yourself be known.
                Remotely, yes he has a case to be made by his fans. No he's not the best ever...just one of many who they say are. #Alibestever

                  Top 10 - 15 easy but not the best ever. That distinction belongs to Ali

                    Hell yeah, im not trying to sound like a fanboy or anything but you really can make the case. Just be objective, he went 50-0. Mostly dominated every opponent he ever faced, fought some good names in the process although many think he lacks a signature win. And skillwise he is one of the most complete fighters of all time if not the most complete. His ring IQ and boxing ability is through the roof as well.

                    He is no doubt among greats, he will be appreciated more probably around 10-20 years from now.

                      People don't like to hear it, but sports evolves. Football players from today would murder football players from 25 or 50 years ago. Basketball players from today would embarrass basketball players from the 60s.

                      Why do people think boxing is any different?

                      Today's fighters have better training, better diets, and a team of experts around them getting them ready. They also have extensive tape on every opponent so there are no surprises in the ring. Boxers today would crush boxers from 30 years ago. That's a fact.

                      Floyd is by far the best of this generation. He fought more champions than anyone and he was so dominant that he only came close to losing twice. In short, he's 100% in the discussion for TBe with at most 3 or 4 other fighters.
