Do you think Floyd Mayweather is the best ever?

Question

Do you think Floyd Mayweather is the best ever?

Answer 1

NO. Yes he will go down as the best fighter simply because he has a good record. But I do not think he beat Oscar De La Hoya. Why would he punk out of a rematch?? He always said if the money is right. De La Hoya is the one that pays most. I think he's a little punk and knows he lost thats why he is 'retiring' again. I never thought Ricky Hatton was all that great to begin with, But he only has De La Hoya as real notable fight. And all he did that fight was dance around. Maybe thats why he went and did Dancing with the Stars. ha ha

Answer 2

No one can beat the greatest of all time Mohammed Ali....

Floyd is a great boxer but hes big headed and just not better

Answer 3

I think FM is a little overrated he has come along when talent overall isn't very good.

Could he have stood up to the jab of The Hit Man or Sugar Ray's blazing speed, but what made Ray devastating, was the fact he had power in both hands.

Then there is Chavez who was relentless in the ring.

Answer 4

39-0-0 (25) is a great record with notable wins over Rickey Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya, but a long ways from being the greatest ever.  Not enough wins over good competition, not enough career wins, and not enough title defenses to be considered an all time great like Robinson, Armstrong, Hagler, Monzon etc.

Answer 5

No. Definitely not. He will go down as one of the best, simply for being unbeaten. Looking closely at his career, he does not have hugh mega fights against superior boxers.
