Yeah it's all just opinion. Most people can't predict boxing fights that actually happen now with any consistent accuracy, let alone present vs. past fights. It's an unpredictable sport.

The way I feel about Mayweather... I've never seen anyone as technically brilliant in the ring as Mayweather. That's something that gets lost in these discussions a lot of the time: actual in-ring ability.

People use a lot of techniques to discredit Floyd and it all stems from things other than in-ring ability. A lot of logical fallacies in there. People point to the fact that he never had a rival as proof that he's not that good, when all that probably means is that he was too good for anyone to compete with him. Or the fact that he's always the favourite in his fights, which just makes sense because when you're that dominant people are going to make you the favourite. The fact is, if Floyd vs GGG at 154 was announced tomorrow, I bet you any money that Floyd would be the slight favourite. Bookies are in the business of making money, and you usually don't make money by putting the guy who's gone almost 20 years undefeated as an underdog.
