Best Boxer Ever

[DaxxKahn]

This thread is for lack of a better word....SILLY

[El Kabong]

....if Floyd was so damn great he would have unified a division by now.

[tedsares]

Sugar Ray Robinson, of course. Question should be, "second best boxer ever?"

[brucelee]

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

no doubt

Does SRR, Armstrong, Ali, RJJ, Whitaker, 'Finito' Lopez mean anything to you?

LOL

I'm a frustrated poet. PLease comment on my haiko.

it was gr8

Sorry to ruin your day Mr. Lee, but it's HAIKU

No, I'm happy somebody corrected me. I was doubting my spelling but did not mind to look at the dictionary. Foolish of me. Thanks. CC from me.

....if Floyd was so damn great he would have unified a division by now.

Totally agree. He should unify the belts if he wants to be considered greatest.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

no doubt

YOU NEED TO BACK IT UP WHEN YOU PUT A POST LIKE THAT. I'M SORRY, I think he's good and could be great but still has unfinished business to take care of at welterweights. He's not even in my top 10 yet. especially with fighters like ALI & RAY ROBINSON who have done so much more for than sport than floyd has.

Obviously a fan huh legend? I dont feel personally that PBF is yet in the Top ten ATG'S. But i do feel (AS MUCH AS I DISLIKE HIM) that floyd has all the essential attributes to be right up there with SRR, Armstrong, Pep, etc.
Floyd's main detractor from holding this throne however, is ironically himself his team and his family. As the world's current best p4p boxer Mayweather understandably receives his fair share of media attention, how much of this attention has mayweather used to endear himself to his fans? SRR, Armstrong, Ali, Pep....these were all "the good guys." The boxing public liked their respective persona's and subsequently desired them to be victorious. Mayweather is the bad guy. 85% of people interested in boxing want him to lose (i'd jump to 90% for the hatton fight.) As a result of being the bad guy he not only has fans salivating over his demise but he also creates a lot of begrudgery over his p4p claim. People attempt to place more amiable likeable Pacquiao ahead of him in the rankings altho he obviously is an inferior fighter (i'm sorry it had to be said.)
It also doesn't help his cause as he allegedly retires as the biggest fights of his career loom on the horizon or that he seems to be entirely motivated by money.
So in summation, i think YES Mayweather is a potential ATG, the best of our time, But NO people will not remember him as an ATG as he simply has not earned enough respect to compensate for his demeanour.

there was a point in time in boxing when those who can knock their opponents are considered better than those who win through running. I'd say, skill and speed is lacking without the knock out power.

i would'nt exactly call it running, it's boxing(hitting and not getting hit back)
knock out power does'nt make u the greatest.Ali wasnt a huge puncher neither was whitaker... the list goes on and on

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

no doubt

No doubt that Willie Pep, Ray Robinson, Ali, and about 30 others might doubt it.
