Floyd Mayweather- Really was a great champion and fighter!

Disagree that GGG is a LH at middle, feel he is actually small for 160 but hits like a LH. To your main point: agree that Floyd was a great champ and fighter, but will expound your statement and say he is the best self-promoter/marketer since Ali, and "played the fight game" better than anyone in history. Floyd took on solid competition through most of his career, built up interest enough and was savvy enough to make great deals when he was older and blockbuster fights vs Manny, Canelo, and Oscar. His fight with Manny was a dud and likely hurt the sport, but was smart in the sense that Manny had slipped to the point where risk vs reward made the most sense. He also is proving business savvy post boxing by creating a stable and using his brand to corner the promotion, manager, and training/gym responsibilities for fighters. Where I think certain fans tend to become shrill and overrate Floyd is in stating he was better than Armstrong, Robinson, Leonard...etc.

Floyd left unbeaten, with his health and the most earning. I think he won on all sides.

I agree that FMJ was a great champion but I don't let his defensive brilliance make me think he was a great fighter.... Floyd always looked to avoid contact in the ring and that's just not my thing in boxing.... I like guys that are willing to risk all in order to land their own best punches.....

If Floyd fights the MMA fighter then it shows exactly what a cosmetic and plastic fighter Floyd was on the ATG list.
