Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: I'm TBE - Not Ali, Marciano or Menayothin!

[champion4ever]

I love Money Mayweather as much as anyone but I am sorry. He is not the best ever. Not even Manny Pacquiao is the best ever. Just having a short and undefeated career does make a fighter the best ever.

[Ca$ual Fan]

If some fool would try to put Menayothin in an ATG conversation, Floyd should be blamed for this

Keep mentioning his name bruh...

[SN!PER]

If any boxer alive today deserves high status it's probably Roy Jones Jr.

[Boxingfanatic75]

For starters, his last 100 fights -

FORTY SEVEN had 20W's or less (many of them 10 W's or less)
TWENTY FOUR had 20 L's or more
TWENTY SIX had losing records

Was it the #1 Featherweight of all time that was lost on you?

Some detailed research you've done there. Impressive to say the least. I wish I could give you more Green.

Green all around then!! You get some as well for hanging in there!

Can you send verifiable links to the fighters you listed?

So I was right about what you were going to say. Of course I was. Since that was the only takeaway you had, I assume the other 9 opponents were ok in “your eyes”? If not, please do tell which fights those were?

Here’s one source about Canelo stating on camera that he was willing to meet Floyd at 150.

“It's what I want, the Mayweather fight. I feel more mature and for that I am willing to go down to 150 pounds," said Canelo to Sal Rodriguez.

You can also just go to YouTube and just forward to post-fight interview and hear it for yourself.

I’ll get you Marquez after because I truly want to hear how you will try to side-step this proof.

20yrs is not a short career, undefeated rises greatly when its over the best of your era, then it means a lot.

Youre not even Manny comment is a joke right, with 10% losses put on ice a number of times and loads of asterisks all through his resume Manny is not even in the conversation.

I dont believe there is a GOAT, I believe there is a handful of guys maybe 10 that could even be considered, Floyd with what he accomplished and nobody beat him has a every right to say it, doesnt mean its true but sure as hell can state it if thats what he believes.

Floyds career was short. He was a nobody for a long time overshadowed by more charismatic fighters in hamed and rjj and then pac.
When he became the name the man everyone wanted to beat he was fighting once every 12 to 18 months

What did you think of the Oscar-Sturm fight?
Plus countless other controversial decisions?
Floyd righted those fights in the rematches.

Two, Oscar dictated the terms of the fight with Floyd. Floyd was the B side then. This is something only casuals seem not to know

So in your twisted mind since he won the rematches it was okay to rob them fighters. Clowns like you would burn towns down loot cities If Mayweather was the one robbed
