First of all, let me just say this, Margarito better watch out because if he's still huffing and puffing about this Mayweather fight and not taking this Clottey fight seriously, he WILL have a very rough night. Clottey is basically undefeated (he was up big when they DQ'ed him late against Baldy). Albeit, he doesn't have a bunch of names on his record, I've seen him fight and he's a tough customer.

So Floyd wants to retire soon, that's cool with me I mean if he feels like he has accomplished everything he wants to that's fine HOWEVER will he be looked at as an ALL-TIME GREAT?

Let us discuss this and compare him to other fighters in similar weight classes.

"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. 37(24 KO)-0-0: Greats- I honestly have a hard time finding "GREATS" PBF fought but he has a lot of very good fighters on his record: Corrales, Gatti, Mitchell, Judah, Castillo, Baldomir

"Sugar" Ray Leonard 36 (25 KO)-3-1: Greats - Hearns, Duran, Hagler, Benitez. Good - Camacho, Norris, Mayweather Sr.,

Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor 39(35 KO)-1-0: Greats - Arguello, Cervantes. Good - Kim, Kameda, Johnson.

I honestly think unless Floyd fights Shane Mosely, Oscar De la Hoya, or Winky Wright he'll be on the fringe of being an all-time Great.


Maybe it's because he's just so good, or maybe he just hasn't been in with the best fighters....he should have fought Mosley already and the De la Hoya fight NEEDS to happen....Floyd can't beat those guys IMO, they are too tough to be KO'd and too good of boxers to let themselves be outboxed
I see what you are trying to say but come on. Look at Floyd's record and look at Aaron Pryor's record. How many fighters has Floyd fought over his 37 fight career with more than 5 losses on their record? 10. How many fighters did Aaron Pryor fight over his 40 fight career with more than 5 losses on their record? 24. I mean after Pryor beat Cervantes for the light welterweight title, he followed his win with a fight against a guy who had 20 losses on his record. If Floyd did that today, what would you all say? Granted, they fought a lot more often back then, but there should be no reason for an elite fighter to fight a guy with twenty losses on his record. If Pryor did that today people would call him a phony. I mean it's not like Mayweather just beating bums, he's DOMINATING legit world champions and he's moving one or two weight classes out of his natural boxing weight to do it. I don't understand your logic. It's not fair to Floyd to say he's not as good as Pryor.
