Floyd's main detractor from holding this throne however, is ironically himself his team and his family. As the world's current best p4p boxer Mayweather understandably receives his fair share of media attention, how much of this attention has mayweather used to endear himself to his fans? SRR, Armstrong, Ali, Pep....these were all "the good guys." The boxing public liked their respective persona's and subsequently desired them to be victorious. Mayweather is the bad guy. 85% of people interested in boxing want him to lose (i'd jump to 90% for the hatton fight.) As a result of being the bad guy he not only has fans salivating over his demise but he also creates a lot of begrudgery over his p4p claim. People attempt to place more amiable likeable Pacquiao ahead of him in the rankings altho he obviously is an inferior fighter (i'm sorry it had to be said.)
It also doesn't help his cause as he allegedly retires as the biggest fights of his career loom on the horizon or that he seems to be entirely motivated by money.
So in summation, i think YES Mayweather is a potential ATG, the best of our time, But NO people will not remember him as an ATG as he simply has not earned enough respect to compensate for his demeanour.
there was a point in time in boxing when those who can knock their opponents are considered better than those who win through running. O0 I'd say, skill and speed is lacking without the knock out power. O0Quote:

I can tell by most of your posts that you probably haven't heard of either of these guys I've mentioned, but trust me...... they were pretty good ;)
For the record.................
Hitting + not getting hit back = boxing (not running)
To me there is no such thing as best boxer ever. There are only best fighters from a generation/era.Quote:

And Mick you mentioned Armstrong and Lopez he probably has never even heard of them :-\
Floyd mayweather is a runner.....there are people out there that still claim that ??? Hillarious !
'The Mighty Atom' Jimmy Wilde :)
This thread is for lack of a better word....SILLY :cwm32:
....if Floyd was so damn great he would have unified a division by now.
Sugar Ray Robinson, of course. Question should be, "second best boxer ever?"
No, I'm happy somebody corrected me. I was doubting my spelling but did not mind to look at the dictionary. Foolish of me. Thanks. O0 CC from me.Quote:

YOU NEED TO BACK IT UP WHEN YOU PUT A POST LIKE THAT. I'M SORRY, I think he's good and could be great but still has unfinished business to take care of at welterweights. He's not even in my top 10 yet. especially with fighters like ALI & RAY ROBINSON who have done so much more for than sport than floyd has.Quote:
