Floyd Mayweaher Shares Boxrec Greatest Fighters List - He's #1 Pacquiao #2

[boliodogs]

Of course the arrogant Flod shares the list because he is number 1 on it. He doesn't even make the top 25 on other lists and he won't be sharing those lists anytime soon. I could see Floyd Manny being top 25 down near the bottom but not at the top. Oscar is not top 25 to me and I thought Trinidad Whitaker, Chavez and Hearns were better fighters with better records.Dempsey was better than Tunney prime against prime. It's a rather strange list overall.

Whoever really thinks half of these guys belong in top 10 let alone the top 25 DKSAB... Mayweather is somewhere 15-20... most people don't have him top 10. He was very talented, but didn't fight the best of his era when they were the best. Don't talk to me about Marquez coming up two weight classes to fight him either - you come up 2 weight classes - expected to lose.

If Pac beats Spence (if they even fight) - then he has a claim for top 10. Beating Thurman bumped him up a bit but only 20-25. Monzon at 3? Arguably the greatest middleweight of all time (if not greatest, for sure top 3 without a doubt), but 3rd p4p all time? Laughable. It's Ray Robinson and Ali in top 2 spots then everyone else.

Having Oscar De La Hoya in top 10 is insanity - not even top 25. Holyfield & Patterson? FOH. Marciano in top 25? and below Patterson as a HW? smh Larry Holmes and James Toney? This entire list is a joke. It might be the worst p4p list I've ever seen, and that's including all of the casual boxing fans that try to make lists. This is supposed to be a legitimate boxing website. This list really shouldn't surprise me; their ratings have always been ****.

Anyone using Boxrec rankings doesn’t know **** about boxing.

That is indeed the worst list ever and some of my favorites were given friendly ratings but I’m not a fanboy so disagreed with their placements.

Agreed - hardcore boxing fans were having a field day with this list on twitter this morning and this afternoon. I'm not surprised because it's boxrec but I am kinda surprised it was this bad

Floyd s like a bad smell you cant get rid of he keeps rearing his head coming top of unimportant polls, espn best of last 25 years, boxrec.
But Floyd knows he's not top 20 in serious polls so let Floyd gloat here and have his day. You'd have no heart if you deny him that

i needed a laugh and this was it

[COVID-19]

The fact was that T.B.E. was #1 P4P All Time. Looks like you have to accept it & also accept the fact that Manny is #48

It's a hard thing for them to accept.

This guy is his worse L in my opinion and he wasn’t 40 or in his 40s when he suffered it.



Legends were making money lol he earned 4M in the ring and that doesn’t include the few million he earned through entertainment. That 4M would be worth around 35-40M today. He had money he just lived an extravagant lifestyle. He lived in Manhattan and LA.
You guys are so biased towards the older generation that you’re unfair to the newer generation. Old doesn’t always mean better. Both fighters were so good that you can argue the number one spot for both but don’t act like Floyd doesn’t belong in the conversation just because he wasn’t ****** enough to fight 4 times a week.

You realize Sugar Ray Robinson fought Joe Rindone like two weeks prior to Ralph Jones? After making 3 year comeback from his loss to Light Heavyweight champ Joey Maxim, Further historical reports mention Robinson was showing signs of wear vs. Jones, latter substantiated with his SD win over Johnny Lombardo -- which took place two months after facing Ralph Jones.

Please add context to what you speak on. Looking at numbers at Boxrec is a foolish method to assess a LEGEND.

Nelo lost get over it. Lost pretty bad too. What you really meant to say is people wanted to see Floyd fight Canelo once Floyd was older. Floyd was way past his prime anyway when he beat the 23yr old world champion who outweighed him by 15+ pounds. He already accomplished more than Pacquiao he went undefeated while not being ktfo and beat up by tomato cans. Imagine Floyd being knocked out by Rusty Torrecampo LMAO. You haters just can’t stand that a black man was better than your hero. 7 losses 2 Draws

Floyd only fought 50 times...to consider this a measuring stick for greatness is not really convincing...what if he fought 20 more times? or more? Or in venues out of Nevada?

never understood why people get so emotional about other people lists, its an opinion and they are all great with different styles at the end of the day.... just make your own list
