    As brilliant as he has been he didn't test himself enough to talk the way he does and to say that he's the greatest of all-time.

    Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Oscar De la Hoya, Shane Mosley, Tito Trinidad, etc etc all tested themselves as much as they could when they were fighting.

    Floyd has NEVER unified any weight class he has fought at and he has always left at least one guy in each division who could have challenged him.

    The glaring omissions of Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and others hurts Floyd's legacy

    I think PBF is top notch and his defensive skills are pretty amazing to say the least.
    He does though need to soundly beat people like Lyle has listed in order to be a great and i wouldn't see him having any trouble in doing so at all.
    Think he'd wipe the floor with all the above mentioned really.
    Winning belts at the various weights that Floyd has is special in itself so i have nothing but respect for him.
    Like i said he's top notch Material and his ringcraft is different gear

    thats weird a few years ago I distinctly remember you saying he had to fight guys like Delahoya and Hatton to solidify his greatness

    The man was a training machine and dedication and discipline was 2nd to none.

    I think being a 5 weight champion is pretty damn impressive seeing he started at such a low weight and managed to keep climbing all the way..He attained an abundance of accolades and achievments by 29, and to me is quite possibly the best skilled fighter off all time.. The guy is a perfect combonation of speed power and technique and the best/ practical defense I have ever seen

    I wouldnt consider him an underdog against any fighter in history from 147 and lower. The guy has it all

    The fact that no fighter had ever been able to push him to a life in death struggle is a testemant to his greatness, and I think thats what blurs the line for many

    OK JT so you see no challenges that Floyd skipped past or that could still be out there for Floyd?

    There will always be a challenge out their no matter what..

    Hopkins-Dawson

    Calzaghe-Dawson

    Hopkins might be done for good

    Calzaghe is retired

    But there is a threat out their for both, Chad Dawsonhe is just an example, Floyd decided he didnt want to fight anymore, he dosent want to put his life, body on the line anymore.. When you fight when you dont want to anymore thats when you hurt yourself or cant do your best..

    We dont decide when its over, he does... you can hate him all you want and post how you feel ripped off because he didnt fight this one or that one and how he dosent deserve to be called great...While you all speculate there is already a plaque and place set aside in Canastota for Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather jr... That is a fact!!!

    Because he's a fucking prick.

    He's an egomaniac, and it's not an act.

    He's been tried, and convicted twice, for hitting women, and just got a slap on the wrist for it.

    His horrible, outside the ring antics, totally diminish anything he does in the ring IMO.

    I hope he stays retired, because I don't miss him one bit.

    He's a spoiled, immature, brat, that needs a good swift kick in the balls, and I would gladly volunteer for the job.

    I ain't sayin its right, but he's never been convicted. He plead guilty on one occasion & was acquitted on the other

    That's might not be exactly true... If the Judge sentenced him it would mean that he was convicted by the Judge. I never followed Mayweather so I'm not aware of the story. Had I known that before I would change my definition of 'distaste' to "Hate". I can't stand "Cowards"...like that!

    I think most people dont like him but respect him. Thats his own doing. I dont think there is a person who seen him fight that doesnt recognise his skills. Im no fan myself but I think he was a very good fighter. Hes just not likeable to a lot of people, myself included.

    He thinks his name sits alongside true greats like Ali and SRR, I think that's insulting. His name does not even belong with guys like DLH, Tito, Mosley etc...

    Hhhhhm I wonder if beating them would satisfy boxing fans. I can assure that once he beats them, people will still bitch about why he didn't face X guy or somethinng.
    - he said that HBO is a racist company after he fought on their network how many times and never complained while getting a paycheck?
    I remember he even said that the salary HBO was offering him was a "slave's salary".
    - his moniquer is "money" how much more arrogant can you get?
    A bit silly to call himself "Money" while standing next to ODLH.
    - He never answers interview questions, he just goes on a tangent about his new car or his new watch.
    I think he did answered questions about boxing WHEN HE WAS ACTIVE. But now that he's retired, hate him or not, he has all reasons to be annoyed if people keep asking him if he would face this or that guy and do his act instead of answering boxing questions.

    Fans do that with EVERY fighter although most All-Time Greats have a shorter list of guys they could have fought than Floyd.

    When did Floyd ever take a chance with his career

    I dont hate the man.Im just tired of his psuedo super hero lore and hearing about him every five minutes.Great skills in fact.He lives for the drama,and getting people riled up.Quite the showman.

    Especially sinse there are top tier fighters right now that...you know....are actually fighting one another and taking chances.

    Let me remind you Floyd called out Mosley 2x and Shane didnt want to know anything, and while Floyd carved up Gatti in front of Hatton and Cotto, there was not even a peep coming from the 2 of them...
