Is Floyd Mayweather Jr A ''All Time Great''

[Franco2012]

back paddler Floyd " No Legs " Mayweather is hepatitis c level fighter and he aint ATG.

[infamous larryx]

hes a 7(now the ww linear world champion once again) time world champion in 5 divisions 41-0..id say hell yea

[amayseng]

he is a top 40

but, does that warrant him an all time great?

im asking,

what do we consider all time great?

i would think top 30 but not sure what anyone else considers

[paulsinghnl]

Yes.

Could he have been much greater? Hell yes.

Yup, exactly.

It's his boxing brains and his elusiveness, he's REALLY smart in the ring, which is why i don't see anyone in our era that could really beat him. The problem is he never tried everybody, especially Cotto in his prime, hehe

Too bad Judah never disciplined himself enough so we could really see a fight of 2 greats. he did get far though.

1-20? no
20-30? hmm
30-50? yes.

but... i dont have a personal list so...

I often hear he is supposed to be one. But i have to admit when i watch him fight, he dont seem to be a great fighter to me. Elusive of course. But i keep thinking if all one wants is to not get hit, i think anyone could look and fight like him.

youre a ******. you made it sound like its nothing..

Boxing is 50% offense and 50% defence.
Floyd is lop sided. His defence is giving too much interest and his punch output is not up to scratch. When Pac throws 1000 punches and i dont even know what Floyds is? Not a respectable figure thats for sure. if you dont take risks in a fight you wont get hit much as well. He is a careful matchmaker, and hes the same in the ring as well.

So Floyd is cornering a certain market of boxer and wants to be known historically as someone who was somewhat of a defence merchant and specialist.
