Don't get me wrong, Roy is an all time great, but Mayweather has world titles in 5 different weight classes at 30 years old, is still undefeated, and is taking on undefeated world champion Ricky Hatton in his next fight.



Trust me, bro.........................






30 years from now, you will be telling people that you witnessed one of the greatest fighters of all time in his prime
Think about this. Before he lost to Tarver and Johnson. Did you realistically beleive ANYONE had a chance at beating him. There hasnt been many fighters in this sport with the kind of talent that Roy had. You cant blame him for those losses. As you know the downslide in boxing can be a steep slope. And with some fighters it can be a cliff.

And as for the titles. Mayweather picked up alot of those against questionable opposition. Just like Delahoya did before him. Hernandez, and Castillo was solid opponents. But he won the 140 from Corley I think. I could be wrong. And he got the 147 from Baldomir. I wouldnt say thats the greatest of champs. But you're right though. The 5 belts look good. But IMO when it comes to measuring greatness the main criteria is who they fought and beat.
