Nothing but respect for Mayweathers boxing ability, will go down as an ATG. Will be interesting to see where he is ranked in 20 years time.
Great chin, great footwork, great offence, great boxing brain. He knows the perfect strategy for each opponent. He has shown in tough fights if he has to dig deep then he will. He has been hit hard, took it well and come back and closed the show.
I can't think of anything missing from his repertoire.
I thought Cotto had a chance of winning but he was clearly beaten although he fought hard and well.I have picked against Mayweather a few times - not because I'm not a fan or even that I want him to lose it's sort of like a morbid curiosity wondering what it will take to beat him.
I agree with what's been said the only thing that beats Mayweather is complacency, father time or going one step too far and fighting someone who has a ridiculous size/weight advantage.
Skill wise no one can touch Mayweather. I think he will turn Pac on his head and stop him if he fights offensively and attacks mercilessly with bad intentions. That would put him top 3 GOAT.
Just my opinion. Good opening post.
