Why Floyd truly is an all time great

[fan johnny]

I was thinking this recently, we have seen so many 'great' fighters exposed. Devon Alexander's stock has fallen so far this weekend that some even think Amir Khan could beat him, Anderson Silva the world's greatest mixed martial artist was dominated for 4 rounds by a guy with a 28-10 record, Fedor was choked out and arm barred inside a couple minutes.

Yet Floyd never has a bad night. He's never lost a fight, never been knocked down or really troubled. Castillo aside on his worst ever night, nobody has got close to beating him.

I can't think of a single fighter in history who has fought the same level of competition he has and done as well.

In a funny way I watched Anderson Silva this weekend and then Devon Alexander, and thought to myself Floyd really is the shit...

I don't dispute Floyd has greatness, but try taking another look at his fight with Dela Hoya. Mosley already past his prime was able to hurt him. Think what damage he would have gotten from a prime Mosley who would run out of gas in the second round.

Mayweather has hardly been an active fighter though has he?

Besides, what Mosley did to Margarito was just about as impressive as anything else he's done his career. Granted, Margarito aint no De La Hoya, but it was the manner in which he destroyed Margarito that has to make it one of his best performances of his career. Besides, he was probably floating around the top 5 on most people's p4p lists.

I think if this fight happened a few years ago i think Floyd is more aggressive and puts the beat down.

Floyd is an all time great, but at what weight class?

147 prime v prime he loses to mosley and oscar..
135 again to mosley, but then losing doesn't disqualify him.

I also think RJJ dominated his competition far better than anyone in history that includes floyd....

Mayweather is naturally gifted and he has discipline and there have been others that dominated fighters better than him with speed and power but this is today and I can't stand him but objectively speaking for now only one fighter has a chance and they are really playing hardball with money and drug tests but Floyd is talented, no doubt.
