at the end of the day, for me not the one with best record is the best boxer, but for me, the best boxer is the one, who you put in the ring and where you can say, "in my eyes, this dude in his prime ________ would be the favour against anybody"

not saying he would 100 % win, you cant say that of nobody, because as human beings, a good shot against the chin, can let a journeyman win againsta p4p star, it happened before

but still you would favour to win this guy against anybody else, when you fill in the blank. for me it is jones.

if we talk reflexes, speed and power, floyd got nothing on prime jones. jones was capable in his prime letting 19 punches go in 3 secondes. floyd would be laying on the ropes behind his defence and counting till 3 and got punched to the defence, the body and stomach with 19 shots, imagine that. roy was quicker than anybody else, quick on his feet, he would land and get out quick from outside, he would outhustle floyd fromt he inside, floyd would be lucky to win 3 rounds against prime jones.

So you'd make Floyd the underdog against a guy 4-5 divisions and 40-50 pounds heavier? Shocking. Floyd must suck.

• The 3rd October 2014 will be the 16th anniversary since Mayweather Jr. won his first world title against Genaro Hernandez (a man who had competed in 15 world title bouts, had only previously been defeated by Oscar De La Hoya [in a weight class that was not his natural habitat] and who also boasted a victory against an all-time-great [Azumah Nelson])

Someone has a crush.

Anyone who holds a genuine passion for the sport must be compelled to appreciate his achievements… even if he isn’t “The Best Ever”!

A genuine passion for the sport and objectivity aren't mutually exclusive.
Actually, most all of our genuine passions for boxing, are slanted towards our own subjectivity and biases.

All the ansilary Floyd arguments aside, I think Floyd is a great fighter and yet many others don't. That's cool.
Floyd is so polorizing though, that a lot of people will never credit him with anything due to how passionately they hate him and his high opinion of himself. That's just how it is. His own bed to lie in.

I've been following the sport intently for going on 20 years now. And with all those facts about Floyd, for some reason I'd still watch someone like 3G, Maidana, Kovalev, or Froch over Mayweather any day of the week. What we witnessed last Saturday night was an atrocity... Especially at $75 a PPV. If that makes me an intellectually-challenged and emotionally-disturbed moron, so be it.

damn dude, i wonder how long it took you to write all that up and fact check your points...I'm not even that passionate about my own CV lol..

Its hard to dispute facts like that....Haters will try their best spin though. Best all time boxers and even best boxers in a certain era will always remain debatable because it is an opinion. Hell, hard core Pac fans still think Pac is better and always was even though he has been ktfo 3 times.
