Which Mayweather Fight Made Him An All-Time Great?

[studentofthegam]

I love how he didn't mention the wins early in his career. Goes to show this kid hasn't been watching boxing for very long.

Really? Are you going to make me do this?

RE-READ the post and look who I underlined.

You do know what underlining is yes? Like the sentance I have underlined from your post?

Re-read it please.

I apologize if I misunderstood.

Do you really need a career defining fight to be an ATG though?

Do you consider Ken Buchanan an ATG?

i didn't say that you need one to be atg but it definitely helps.

i consider buchanan a solid hof'er and i consider a first ballot hor'er

It was the first four you underlined not the last three. I would still bet all those guys get in though, but it has more to do with popularity and certain situation those guys are involved with than being way up there in the boxing pantheon.

Like I said, I believe it's unlikely that Corrales, Hernandez, Gatti or Castillo get into the HOF. I really don't see it.

But you make a good point that its voters that provides whether fighters get in or not.

And if Barry Mcguigan is in there I guess it doesn't take much to get in there.

Floyd doesn't have a remarkable resume but he has a lotta solid good wins and titles in different weightclasses...

You could criticize a lotta fighters resumes...people do it on here all the time...

Oh by all means of course it helps and if he had some career defining fights on his resume he could have been ranked much much higher on an ATG level than he is now.

But I don't think he needs one to be considered an ATG. He is already an ATG IMO.

The fat Hatton?

That is pretty much my point. It is not hard to get in and once certain guys get in other guys pretty much have to follow (which is part of my reasoning for JLC and Corrales).


Genaro is the real question mark even though he is probably the best of the lot (there being a possible argument for JLC), but he has been around and is a very classy man who is dealing with a terrible situation. I think that gets him in.

Either you're bipolar or you're just trolling Gino. One week you're straight and hate Pacquiao, the other week you're gay and hate Floyd, what's next? Next week you'll admit to sucking Wlad's dick so Freedom! can green you with his multiple accounts?

ur not just bi***ual ur also paranoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Larry the boss]

his resume is solid..hes accoplished alot..never lost..been p4p damn near his entire career

Which fight made Mayweather a SO-CALLED "all time great"?

The fat Marquez?

The fat Hatton?

The old De La Hoya?

The 15 months inactive Mosley?

The underachieving Judah?

The turtle slow Baldomir?

The non-Hall of Famer Corrales?

The Ward I, II, and III veteran Gatti?

Samba Mitchell who?

If Floyd never ducked active Mosley, Margarito, and Cotto, would he be getting more respect today from highly knowledgeable boxing fans?

How many of those guys did Pac fight afterwards and get praise for?

no, zab just beat corley.

corley lost like 10 of 13 fights starting with the loss to zab. so how did he turn out. it wasn't just cuz oif floyd like you are implying. that's why he's not highly regarded


zab was already BLOWN out by kostya and never proved to be ****e at 147.

Floyd fought him about 10yrs ago.
