Is Mayweather a all time great?

[Beanflicker]

A top 3 is a short list, a top 5 is a short list, a top 10 is a short list. What are you trying to say? Surely anyone making a list of 20 is an ATG?

I'm not sure what you're asking me or what your point is. Anyone in the top 20 is an ATG, I never disputed that.

My overall point is that if you consider Floyd's in-ring skill (which is second to only a few, if any) and the fact that he has fought nothing but top-ranked competition for 16 years and has (thus far) remained unbeaten, it would be absolutely ridiculous to deny him of, at the very least, a spot in the top 10 of all time.

He was (and still is) a special, once-in-a-lifetime athlete who has beaten just about every style and body type that was thrown at him.
