Where does Mayweather rank realistically on an all time list?

[Dr Rumack]

the era floyd fought in wasnt weak at all. de la hoya, pacquiao, mosley, canelo, castillo, corrales, cotto, maidana amongst many other world level fighters-.

Of the names that ring out:

Oscar - 34
Mosley - 38
Pacquiao - 37

Come on dude. Those guys were on the pension tour.

Boxing is undeniably in a weak era. I don't know how anybody could say other wise. The welterweight division itself it nothing compared to what it was in Oscar's prime.

Top 10-15 easily....definitely ahead of Pacquiao and Hopkins

I think this is true and it speaks to Pacquiao's post-featherweight run as well. Sure it was great, some dazzling performances, but he didn't beat any prime legends. Didn't beat a Benitez, a Hearns, a Duran. That's where the bar is. Manny's wins at the lower weights were legit though.

I'm not knocking Floyd when I say he's 20th. It's just the era they were in puts a cap on how high you rank them.

In floyds era if he wanted to be in legitimate talks of being TBE, he had to have done things considered impossible. And his resume doesn't have that.

As far as Manny goes. When he was in the midst of this run that he was on. It seemed amazing, but with the dust settled and eyes more clear. His run was great but still it falls short in order for him to be ranked higher thsh Floyd. IMO Manny is about 25 to 30th all time.

Tell me this, where do you have him ranked?

In the over hundred of years that's boxing has been around there arec19 better boxers, But to have me name them all now is ridiculous.

All I know is he is not the best ever and he is no where near top 5 or top 10.

20th all time is perfect and imo it can't be higher.

In your opinion where do you have him.

if you cant have mayweather top 20 then what does a modern fighter have to do now to get top 20? DO they have to go 100-0?

mayweather was no spring chicken himself, was older than pacquiao. People were accusing him of ducking mosley after he demolished margarito too, people forget that. and 34's not really that old in boxing, looked as if there was plenty of life in de la hoya in that fight too.

So none of those cats were prime

[alkaline]

See me I always get behind the Murican boxers. Floyd talk alot of smack but he be backin dat 5hit up. He ups there for sure. #1 is pushing it but he's ups there.

[Fists_of_Fury]

Some of the posters in here have been exposed by the Mayweather hit list thread. They say he gets credit for fighting someone, then Floyd beats them, and all the sudden excuses and going back on their word. The haters will never be satisfied. If you take the logic they use and use it on others you can cut down everyone's resume including Robinson, Ali, Leonard, Duran, Armstrong, etc...
