You just said he was never boo'd when he fought. Now you accept he was. You make stuff up as you go along you to fit with your debate.

Accept that Mayweather will go down in history as one of the greatest fighters in the history of boxing. Whether you like it or not, his name will also be mentioned when talking about THE actual greatest.

I was talking about being booed when they fought, pipe down, I was making the point a lot of people boo MW because the way he fights is anti-entertainment.

He was constantly booed last night for holding and running.

But then you basically said Ali was never boo'd which further cements his greatness, but he was. You make stuff up to coincide with your argument.

Only a few hours ago, post after post was of how Mayweather was a shithouse and that Pacquiao was the fighter coming forward taking the fight to his opponent.... yet for a guy coming forward and doing this, threw 60 less punches.

His problem is that outside of a lesser Manny he's never fought anyone. Never faced any of the good-great Mexicans like Berrera and Morales. Fought Manny who was a good 3-5 years off his peak. If you consider yourself the greatest then beating an old Manny shouldn't be your signature win.

The biggest money fight out there is Golovkin who says he could make 147-150. If he could beat Golovkin I'd put him top 5 but I doubt he'd take that fight. My guess is that he fights manny again. Even though it apparently it wasn't much of a fight that's still the biggest money fight out there that he knows he can win.

Oscar De La Hoya
Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Marquez

And to be honest at the time, Hatton

Can't see him getting in with Golovkin

He threw less because was fighting him with a 5 inch less reach advantage.

It's probably impossible to beat MW when he fights you with that reach advantage in the style he does, if Manny had 5 on him he'd slaughter him.

mainly because he was a cocky black southerner who beat the fan favorites of the times ie Frazier, Holmes, quarry, and foreman, becoming a muslim, refusing to fight in Vietnam, its only now he get the recognition he deserves
dont forget they never called him the greatest, they always called him the "self proclaimed" greatest, which is what's happening with mayweather now with his T.B.E nonsense, in truth hes not the best ever he doesn't make the top 20. But he is the best of our era
