Mayweather might be the best we've ever seen

I wrote about the fight for work.

I don't like him, but when it comes to the art of hitting and not getting hit, I struggle to think of anyone better. And his speed and reflexes lasted longer than Ali's and Robinson's (although he's had less fights).

Hey, nice article. Must be an interesting job you have. Yes, Floyd has to be the best of our time. Hardly been flustered in 18 years ( I think that's the correct number.) What I wonder now is will he go for fifty. He is an immortal in the boxing world but 50 and 0 would cement it. Despite me swearing off ppv I would be tempted to get his fiftieth. Will he walk away at 49 like he says.

I'm good with Floyd retiring at 49. He is definitely an ATG, and I can now see a case where people place him in the top 5. The guy dominates anyone 160 and down not named GGG. That being said, his fights just don't excite me now as he wins most of his big fights in boring fashion.

The Manny win was big, but compare his performance and action to his wins over Chico Corrales and Ricky Hatton. Floyd FOUGHT and BEAT those guys in a dominant and EXCITING manner. He's so good he will out point pretty much anyone around his weight, but he won't beat them up or consistently put 3 and 4 punches together at a time. He will win by making the other guy hesitant to fight as well. Not a recipe for excitement/drama.
