is it possible for Mayweather to retire the greatest ever?

I think he could join the ranks of Zsolt Erdei, Joe Mesi, and Sven Ottke. He is truly a great. He has nothing left to prove after beating Marquez. I wish him well in retirement.

All in all I think Floyd just wants to pay the IRS back and get some more cash from so he can "shoot up cars." I don't think he cares about legacy.

When SRL came out of retirement he Terry Norris, Marvin Hagler. Now that's a guy that is thinking about his legacy.

I think if he clears 50-0 and the next fights are big ones, then he will have to be compared in that breath.

I don't now see him as a legend, if he hadn't have come out of retirment he would have just been another good boxer.

Despite what people say, I don't even see Pacman in the GOAT class, not even close. But if Pacman was to beat Mayweather.........

Mayweather needs to beat all oncomers for a few more years to be considered great, he'd prob need to go up a weight and win another world title aswell. Even Hatton on another day could have had him.

Undefeated definatley doesn't mean your name should be up there with the greats, after all, most greats have lost a few times.

And a fight with Mosley wouldn't be enough for me, he can't go on much longer and although I think the fight will happen, I think he's past it now and is riding on a wave that won't last for much longer. On my card he was one second away from a defeat against Mayorga, although I take my hat off to him for the performance against Margortio.
