    Where does Mayweather rank realistically on an all time list?

    If I were to guess I'd probably say he's at the bottom of the top 10 or maybe just right outside of it if one isn't being biased. Anyone agree or where would you rank him?

    Outside of the top 50. Too boring, avoided ton of fighters in their prime, he rates #1 as businessman and avoiding dangerous fighters though.

      legacy forever tainted by USADA who has been proven to be a corrupt organization and will issue retroactive excemptions for even PED's(check UFC).



      Floyd used an illegal IV to hide HGH traces.


      most of his career is up for debate as they are close decisions in his hometown with favorable judging and reffing. refs and judges let him get away with repeated illegal tactics.


      He lost Castillo 1&2. lost Maidana 1&2. lost Pacquiao fight. arguably lost vs Cotto. all up for debate.

              Floyd is the greatest warrior in the last millennium. A fight with undefeated undisputed beast Conor McGregor only enhances his warrior status.

                I rank him in the lower end of the top-30 all time fighters! mainly because he has no real big wins. He has a collection of very good wins, but no massive all-time great wins! plus greatness is also about HOW you win! That is why athletes like Carl Lewis even still to this day? is arguable the greatest track and field athlete of all-time, he produced his best performances on the biggest stage! where as Floyd Mayweather in his biggest fights, produced boring performances! and his performances where not really pushing the boundary of pugilistic performance! (They where all slow steady wins)....

                (When Muhammad Ali defeated Joe Frazier for the 3rd time, both fighters produced one of the highest work-rates in the heavyweight fighting history ever! even though they where fighting under ring lights in a hot/humid Philippines! they where still able to push the boundary of human performance! Its even more remarkably because Muhammad Ali was known to be a lazy trainer)......

                But i will admit that he is the greatest fighter of his generation, but all-time i place him in the lower end of Top-30!

                    agree with most your posts bro but not that one. he schooled cotto and barely had to get out of second gear, cotto was hitting gloves and thin air all night long. the scorecards reflected that.
