    Floyd made boxing grow at an unprecedented rate and broke a ceiling in the process—defensive wizards being PPV superstar

    That alone gets him into the HOF.

    Not to mention him DOMINATING other great fighters

      He wasn't ugly when he was called "Pretty Boy" Floyd.

          But saying the guy who sold most PPV ever should not be in the hall of FAME? He is clearly among the most famous of his generation....
          The hall of fame isn't about how famous boxers are . It's about achievements in the ring . Obviously Floyd earns it with what he did

            Cheated on the scales against Marquez.

            Sucker punched Ortiz

            For this, he should not have got in to the HOF.

            Never ever seen that in all my born years, but truth be told, it was funny as F thinking about where he ranks among sissies.

              I read the thread title and just stopped by to say the idea that Mayweather does not deserve to get into the hall of fame is wrong and ridiculous. Of course he was a sure thing to get into the hall of fame on the first vote. He was undefeated and won world titles at 130,135,140,147, and 154. He beat more champions than anyone. That is absolutely a great hall of fame career no matter how much you nitpick the small stuff.

                  Floyd haters are his biggest fans. They continually keep him mainstream and relevant.

                    There are numerous arguments against the legitimacy of Floyd's claims of being TBE but in reality he does fully deserve his place in the HOF.

                    Floyd is a pure product of the greed and hype that has consumed the modern era of PPV boxing. If you really want to point a finger then look at guys in the shadows like Al Haymon who essentially control the narrative around fighters like Floyd.

                    His pure ability and boxing instincts are beyond compare, you can hate all day but it won't change the truth.

                      Well it’s a good job your opinion is worthless.

                      Mayweather is one of the best fighters that has
                      ever lived

                      There is no hall of fame ballot in history that he isn’t getting into on the first ballot.
