    You have to go all the way back to 2007 Ricky Hatton to find a clear Knock Out for Mayweather. It's difficult for me to put Mayweather above Ali, Lewis, SRL when his style relied on judges to score the bout in his direction.

    how could willie pep be an all time great and the greatest featherweight of all time and he had over 200 wins and only 65 kos??? Hamed, Saddler and many others had higher ko ratios


    do you see how shallow that question is? there is more to boxing than power.

      If anyone puts Mayweather ahead of any of those guys and it makes sense then they need to go to the hospital. Half their brain is missing.

        He’s not the GOAT but there’s nothing wrong with that. People need to realize that TBE is just marketing to sell hats and T shirts. Nothing wrong with that either.

          He will NEVER be considered along the greats P4P. Rocky Marciano is considered like Floyd will be. Although undefeated his didn't do's and questionable attributes like being able to withstand adversity or comebacks will always be there. Also the reputation of cherry picking and not fighting top names in their prime. When taking all that in consideration and comparing him to the greats of then and to come he will move further back among the best ever to have laced up gloves.

            He dominated four hall of famers in the last ten years, including the fighter of the decade - Pac, Canelo (aged 23 and bigger than him), Cotto and Mosley, plus another hall of famer in 2009 in Marquez. You’re talking absolute ****. Laughable.

                After listening to biographies in sugar ray Robinson it’s hard to not call him the goat..dude didn’t even like boxing and did what he did, barely ever even trained..it’s crazy to think what the man would’ve done had he actually liked the sport.

                  Floyd has destroyed so many lives, it defies belief.

                  5 years on from being schooled and the Paculytes have never come to terms with it.
