Boxing (sport): Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. the greatest boxer of all time?

Floyd is the greatest boxer of his era, but there is absolutely no way Floyd is the greatest boxer of all time, pound for pound.Floyd isn’t even the best boxer of all time in his weight class, let alone pound for pound!Floyd couldn’t carry Ray Robinson’s, or Ezzard Charles’s, or Ali’s, gym bag, let alone compare to them as an all time great.CREDIT PICTURE FOX SPORTSNot one single real expert believes Floyd is the Greatest of all Time, because he is not.Not even Boxrec’s computer has Floyd as number one, contrary to what the never-was tries to claim.Let us look at what the experts say…Boxrec has Ezzard Charles as the #1 pound for pound boxer everBleacher Report has Sugar Ray Robinson as the #1 pound for pound boxer everThe Top 50 Pound-for-Pound Boxers of All TimeSo does Yardbreaker boxing have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundThe best pound-for-pound boxers of all timeSo does ESPN have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundALL-TIME GREATEST BOXERSSo does Street Directory boxing have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundTOP TEN Pound 4 Pound Best Boxer EverSo does Martial Arts have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundThe 25 Greatest Pound-for-Pound Boxers in History Part III: #10-1So does Ring Magazine have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundRing Magazine's 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 YearsSo does Tiebreaker have Robinson as #1 of all time, pound for poundThe 30 Greatest Boxers of All-Time: The Definitive ListSo while there are those who name Ezzard Charles, such as Boxrec, Ali, or Hank Armstrong, very few name Mayweather as the greatest pound for pound boxer ever.Why?Ali himself acknowledged Sugar Ray Robinson as:“Best ever, man, he was the greatest of all.”I think Ali was more physically talented than Sugar Ray, (though Sugar was INCREDIBLY physically talented), but I also think Sugar Ray was the truest and best boxing master.Floyd’s primary claim to being the best of all time is his undefeated record.And, undefeated records are not a good measure of greatnessJack Blackburn, prince of trainers, used to say he could get a cab driver to 20–0 by matching him with drunks or hobos.Undefeated records, especially when it comes to boxing, are very overvalued as a measure of greatness. If a boxer is a star the magnitude of Mayweather he can pretty much pick and choose whom he fights. With four sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) it’s easy to find a limited opponent to fight with a title on the line and pass it off as a legitimate championship bout and enough fans will buy it, literally and figuratively.You can even convince the public that a complete amateur is an interesting fight.Comparing Mayweather’s #50 fight against a rank amateur, who had never literally boxed as an amateur or a professional, against say, Roy Jones’ 50th fight against all time great Glen Johnson, (and Jones would have been 50–0 except for the spotty disqualification against Montel Griffin whom he destroyed in the rematch!), is a joke.There is no comparison in their records.And if an undefeated record were the sole reason for determining best of all time Thai boxer Wanheng Menayothin. just retired with a record of 54–0, therefore, by Mayweather logic, Wanheng must be the GOAT!Mayweather’s 50-0 record beaten as Thai ‘Dwarf Giant’ Menayothin retires 54-0.Only he is not the greatest of all time, of course!Lew Wallace, the boxing writer and historian, speaks of the artificial puffing up of records against cherry picked competition, saying::“unbeaten records are fairly padded; you have to look if there are any notable victories coming against first rate competition.”He also addressed the myopic claims that Mayweather and other fighters claim multi-division titles by grabbing one of the 68 alphabet titles available - and if you count the Ring's titles, there are 85; (255 if you count super, interim, and regular titles!):“these lies won’t penetrate the skin of the boxing community, it will, however, continue to deceive the wider casual public, with the true best fighters on this planet the ones that will feel the negative effect.”Roy Jones recently said in an interview with the Sweet Science:“Floyd Mayweather was TBE at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine. You can’t pretend it’s the same. You can’t pretend there’s ever been anyone come close to doing what I did. Nobody you could name could touch me – and I’m talking about nobody who’s around now, nobody who was around in my prime, and nobody who was around any time you can mention outta your mouth.”Roy Jones Jr. Says He Was Better Than Mayweather….and Roy's Right!Floyd’s other claim to being the greatest is a claim he is the greatest defensive fighter of all time - and experts say he is notMost don’t believe he is the best defensive boxer of all time - most rank Wilie Pep, Nicolino Locche and Sweat Pea Whitaker ahead of him.Floyd is the best of his generation, but anyone who saw Willie Pep, NIcolino Locche, or Pernell Whitaker fight, knows there were at least 3 better. Most experts certainly agree with this.Willie Pep and the 5 Greatest Defensive Fighters of All Time.James Slater in 2016 wrote an article comparing Whitaker, Mayweather, and Pep on defense. Whitaker's trainer for ten years, Ronnie Shields, told Slater how he feels the man known as “Sweet Pea” warrants recognition as the finest defensive fighter of all time, saying:““Pernell was born with the reflexes he had. You cannot teach reflexes. He had so much natural ability, the way he would move his body and his feet; he would turn one way and practice throwing a counter punch from that stance, and then he would turn another way. He would never watch films of an opponent. I would study the films and then he’d ask me what the guy’s best punch was; what the guy did best in general. Then he’d go away and work on what I’d told him – he’d figure out which moves, which turns, would work best against the guy‘s best punch. He’d practice over and over, on which punch would work best as a counter against what the guy was going to do. Pernell is arguably the best defensive fighter in history.”The Finest Defensive Boxer Ever: Floyd Mayweather Junior? Willie Pep? Nicolino Locche? Pernell Whitaker? — Boxing NewsFred Kelley of Bleacher Report listed the twenty-five best defensive fighters of history, and he ranks Mayweather and Whitaker as tied for #3 all time behind Willie Pep at #1, and Locche as #2. (He lists Sugar Ray Robinson as #3, and Ali as #4)Floyd Mayweather Jr. and 25 Best Defensive Boxers in HistoryOther great fighters do not hold Mayweather in high regardMike Tyson, in his own, absolutely no hold back way, summed up Floyd, repeated claims that he is the greatest of all time:“He's very delusional. Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of greatness with Ali he'd be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can't take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he's great? Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself.”And Mike added with open contempt::“He's a little, scared man. He's a very small, scared man.”Tyson said as he walked away.Mike Tyson Goes Off on Floyd Mayweather for Saying He's Better Than Muhammad Ali.Sugar Ray Leonard was more diplomatic.with open contempt::“Ali is the Greatest of all time, Floyd ain’t”.Sugar Ray Leonard Says Ali is the G.O.A.T., Mayweather Ain'tRoberto Duran laughs at the thought of Mayweather being the best of all time.Speaking in an interview with ESPN Deportes, Duran said:“Mayweather would have fought me I would have busted all of his ribs. A man who covers up as well as he does you have to throw to the liver, and that is going to give you openings”.And of course, these are not the only fighters who feel this way.Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest woman beaters of all time, (Carlos Monzon and Edwin Valero edge him by killing their ladies, but Floyd ranks right behind them!)At least Monzon and Valero fought every man who would get in the ring with them, which is not something you can say about Floyd.Monte Cox says::“I cannot in all honesty put Mayweather in the top 10 welterweights based on a career of hand picked opponents and having never unified a major title. Floyd avoided fights with Mosley, Margarito and Pacquiao when they meant something. He waited for these opponents to slow down and fade before considering facing them. Mayweather just does not have the competition to be considered a true all time great. I am not convinced that Floyd would beat any of the top 10 all time welterweights.”Muhammad Ali said it best:“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”Floyd never gambled in his career, never faced the best, and so, he is not in the hallowed company of the very best.Floyd Mayweather preferred beating up women and rank amateurs to fighting tough professionals. And if the rank amateur was three weight classes smaller, so much the better!As a historian pithily stated about Woodrow Wilson, and it applies to Floyd:“His record is merely an illusion of greatness..”When you examine who Floyd did not fight, the conditions he placed on those he did face whom he thought were dangerous to his zero, when he choose to fight them, and where he chose, getting preferential treatment by the Nevada Commission, he simply is not among the true immortals of boxing.Floyd is the most shameless cherry picker of the modern ageLet me be clear, there were top fighters Roy could, and should, have faced.But next to Floyd Mayweather Junior, he is Muhammad Ali, (who faced every top 150 fighter of his age, every single, one. Floyd is the Master of Ducking.No one typifies running up their record with has beens and never was’s while ducking real fighters as much as Floyd Mayweather!Let us use Ali versus Floyd as an example:there were 22 top 150 all time heavyweights fighting during Ali’s time, and Ali faced every single one of them. Stop and take that in again: Ali faced every one. He beat 21 of the 22, including 16 of the top 100 fighters that he faced, and 21 of the top 22!During Floyd Mayweather’s time at the top, there were 9 welterweights listed in the top 100, 7 more in the top 150. Floyd faced just 4 of 9 in the top 100, 2 of 7 in the top 150. Of those four in the top 100, he waited till Cotto, Pacquiao and Mosley had been worn down by other ring wars, fought De La Hoya at the end of his career.Ali faced 22 of 22 greats of his age.Floyd faced 6 of 17 and claims a victory over a complete amateur instead of fighting someone who actually knew how to fight makes him the Greatest. Sure.Lewis Watson, the boxing writer and historian, speaks of the artificial puffing up of records against cherry picked competition, saying:“Unbeaten records are fairly padded; you have to look if there are any notable victories coming against first rate competition."He also addressed the myopic claims that Mayweather and other fighters claim multi-division titles by grabbing one of the 68 alphabet titles available - and if you count the Ring's titles, there are 85; (255 if you count super, interim, and regular titles!):“Lies won’t penetrate the skin of the boxing community, it will, however, continue to deceive the wider casual public, with the true best fighters on this planet the ones that will feel the negative effect."Kim Hogue says:“Winning an alphabet world title doesn’t mean you can become branded as an ‘elite’ fighter by anyone who actually understands boxing."Thornton Clifford writes of Armstrong's feat of holding 3 titles simultaneously:“Back then there were eight titles, eight weight classes, total, and he held three of them at once! That would be equivalent to Mayweather holding six of today's weight class belts at once if there was only one title in each weightclass, and if you factor in five organizations awarding titles, he would have to have held 24!"Calling Floyd the best in history when he ducked or avoided 2/3 of the best fighters of his age is ridiculous.Floyd called out Winky - and then ran for his lifeIn 2005, Mayweather called out Winky Wright, the lineal and formerly undisputed 154 lbs title holder who had just beaten Felix Trinidad at 160 lbs and could point to two wins over Mosely. Wright agreed and within days had his team in the office of Top Rank (Floyd's promoters at the time) offices hammering out the contract for the fight.The details were hammered out: the bout would be at 154 lbs but weigh-ins would be the morning of the bout rather than the day before and Wright would not be allowed to gain more than eight pounds between weighing in and the start of the contest. But Mayweather and Bob Arum suddenly pulled out.Mayweather ducked Winky - as the contract was agreed on, Floyd became more and more uneasy, and he pulled out.That is ducking.It is doubly bad ducking when you, like Floyd, ran your mouth about beating Wright, agreed to a contract, and then backed down.Floyd showed no interest in fighting Kostya TszyuFloyd showed no interest in fighting Kostya Tszyu when both were campaigning near the same weight; Tszyu certainly was willing to fight Floyd, but the ultimate cherry picker had no interest in fighting him.Floyd playing “let’s fight at the weight best for me, and I sure won’t show up within the weight limits!”In 2007, Ricky Hatton wanted to fight Floyd at junior welterweight, and Floyd made him come back up to welterweight in order to get the fight.Juan Marquez had never fought above lightweight when Cherry Pickin’ Floyd wanted to fight him. Did he meet Marquez at Junior Welter? Of course not! He insisted on a contract weight of 144, or welterweight, despite that being two weight classes higher than Marquez had fought at.Having gotten another of his favorable weight restrictions, did Floyd show up and make weight? Of course not! The champion cherry picker showed up at 146.Did the Nevada Commission make Floyd pay a penalty or sanction him? of course not! They allowed him to file an amended contract! (he did pay a contract penalty, to Marquez, but the Commission would have sanctioned anyone else!)Just as the commission allows him to use illegal IV’s and denies his opponents legal medications!And then there was Miguel Cotto - Floyd said no to fighting him at his bestIn 2007-08, Miquel Cotto was the next best welterweight in the world behind Mayweather. A thrilling fighter he had moved up in weight and easily disposed of Carlos Quintana, smashed the over-matched Urkal, stopped Judah and then beaten Shane Mosley in an excellent showing. He was by any definition the most deserving fighter to face Mayweather. There was no reason for the bout not to be made. But Mayweather instead signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya.Of course Mayweather did eventually face Cotto but it was years later, and after gruelling wars with Margarito and others had sapped Cotto and he wasn't the same fighter.The 2007-08 version of Cotto with his inside game, hook and versatile jab was a major challenge for Mayweather. The 2012 version may have been good enough to pose Mayweather some problems but he wasn't the same. Mayweather ducked Cotto at his best. There's no other way to put it.Paul Williams certainly pursued the elusive Mayweather, who had no intention of facing anyone he was not sure he could beatPaul “The Punisher” Williams wanted a fight with Mayweather, and tried everything to get that chance. He called him out in interviews, trash talked and said he would do anything to get that fight. Williams was confident that he could one day defeat Mayweather.Floyd never gave him a chance, of course.And what about Erislandy Lara, who chased the cherry picker too?Lara spent 2014 and 2015 pursuing Mayweather, before he finally gave up. He didn’t have a chance, since he was definitely in Floyd’s class as a slick boxer or more.What about when Mayweather let his fans pick his next opponent - then backed down when they picked the lightning fast Amir Khan“I’m going to let the fans vote. Tell me who I should fight next. Khan or Maidana?" Mayweather posted on his personal Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts in 2014:“I’m going to let the fans vote. Tell me who I should fight next. Khan or Maidana?"Khan won by 2–1, and trainer Freddie Roach talked about Khan using his speed to beat Mayweatheroach said:“I always thought he could beat him with his speed. I think he’s faster than Mayweather and that’s what it takes to beat him. Floyd might have his hands full on the night.Mayweather evidently thought so too, went back on his word, and scheduled the much easier Maidana.Or Antonio Marqarito, who practically begged Mayweather to fight?In 2006 Bob Arum tried to make a Margarito versus Floyd Mayweather Jr fight, and offered old cherry picking Floyd $8 million, but Mayweather turned it down. Called at that time “the most feared man in boxing” Margarito continued to seek out the best possible opponents and met Paul Williams in 2007, while Floyd made a junior welterweight come up to fight him! What a guy!Or Sergio Martinez, who was willing to come down to whip Floyd?He offered to come down to Junior Middleweight to meet Floyd, and would have gone to 152 even. But Floyd was having no part of the then cat quick Martinez.What about Erol Spence, Terrence Crawford, Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter?While Floyd was declaring his cherry picking self the greatest of all time, every major welterweight was calling him out. Erol Spence beat Floyd up sparring with him - and he was still a kid!Instead of doing what Manny Pacquiao did, and challenging a young lion at 40, old Cherry Picking Mayweather ducked them all, each and every one, and fought a complete amateur and then claimed it was a record breaking victory!And Floyd loved him some catchweights!Ask Canelo who Floyd made shrink to 152. Winky had to agree to come down to meet Floyd - but when Floyd watched tape and discovered Winky at 154 was twice the fighter he was, Floyd did what he did best - ran, ran, ran!Floyd loved waiting till fighters got old, had too many ring wars, or not at allAnd that was a pattern through Mayweather’s whole career - he faced Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao only when he was convinced time and hard fought matches had diminished them to the point where he was safe in facing them.He didn’t face Paul Williams, Tszyu, Margarito, and most of all, Winky Wright, at all.Floyd also, for the last 13 years of his career, only fought in Nevada where he received preferential treatment by the Nevada CommissionYou have to factor in, in addition to Floyd’s shameless cherry picking and other gimics, his misuse of illegal IV’s, and his influence on the Nevada Commission treating his opponents differently, when assessing his all time greatness as a fighter.Floyd’s opponents certainly did not get any break from the Nevada CommissionManny Pacquiao was denied treatment prior to the fight approved by the doctors and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, but vetoed by the Floyd loving Nevada Commission.Because of a severe rotator cuff injury, and believing if he cancelled or postponed the fight Floyd would never agree to another date, Manny, on the advice of his doctors, requested a shot of Ketorolac, sold under the brand name Toradol, among others, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), an anti-inflammatory that acts for about 5 days to dramatically reduce inflammation and allow use of a damaged rotator cuff, muscle, et al. It does reduce pain, but that is a side effect of reducing the inflammation so significantly.Ketorolac was patented in 1976 and approved for medical use in 1989. It is available as a generic medication. The primary mechanism of action responsible for ketorolac's anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects is the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by competitive blocking of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). Ketorolac is a non-selective COX inhibitor. It is considered a first-generation nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.In the US, ketorolac is the only widely available intravenous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.Ironically, toradol is not on the list of banned medications or substances in Nevada.Pacquiao’s camp was told by his orthopedist that he could take the injection if he wanted, and the United States Anti-Doping Agency approved the in-competition use of the remedy for the Pacquiao-Mayweather match in a certified document.The problem was that the Nevada Commission claimed the USADA never shared its approval with the state commission, Chairman Francisco Aguilar said, so when Pacquiao’s camp told the commission it wanted the fighter to take the injection at 6:08 p.m. on fight night, the request was rejected.Aguilar said that Pacquiao’s camp noted the possible need for the medication, already approved, on a medical form filled out at Friday’s weigh-in, but a check mark in the “no” box was placed next to the question of whether the fighter had a shoulder injury. Although the commission, with the medical documentation of the medical necessity, and the Anti-Doping Agency's approval, could have waived that mistake, they choose not to.Pacquiao, who does not speak, let alone write, fluent English, depended on his team to fill the paperwork out properly. When they made the mistake of not checking a shoulder injury, the Nevada Commission - the same Commission which allows Floyd to inject his hands prior to fights with pain killers - seized on the technicality, although the drug itself as listed along with the medial and anti-doping approvals, and refused to allow the medical treatment.Floyd got an illegal IV infusion prior to the fight, but it was okayed retroactively by the Floyd loving Nevada CommissionTo add insult to outrage, Mayweather was allowed to use an illegal IV prior to the right without any sort of repercussions of any kind.Yes, Floyd Mayweather received an intravenous injection before his fight against Manny Pacquiao, contrary to World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines. Mayweather received an retroactive exemption for the IV after the fight.Agents of the United States Anti-Doping Agency who showed up to give Mayweather a random drug test after the fight’s weigh-in “found evidence of an IV being administered” to the boxer. Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett told SB Nation, which had broken the story, that USADA did not clarify to the Nevada State Athletic Commission whether Mayweather was actually receiving an injection when the anti-doing agents came to his home, or, he had just received it.In any event, Floyd admitted to receiving “vitamens.”According to Mayweather’s medical team, the fighter was given two composite vitamin mixes for dehydration. While the injections did not allegedly include any banned substances, IVs are still banned under World Anti-Doping Agency and the United States Anti-Doping Agency rules because they are, or can be, used to “dilute or mask the presence of another substance.”Nearly three weeks after the fight, USADA granted Mayweather a retroactive therapeutic use exemption to receive IV injections. USADA told the NSAC that Mayweather had not applied for the therapeutic use exemption until 18 days after the fight, 19 days after his test, and the Commission, the same Commission that refused Pacquiao legitimate medical treatment, approved.The Nevada Commission, either by hook or crook, did everything it could to tilt the playing field for Mayweather. Would a healthy Manny have won? Would he have won if they had met in 2010? We simply don’t know.Floyd loved waiting till fighters got old, or had too many ring warsAnd that was a pattern through Mayweather’s whole career - he faced Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao only when he was convinced time and hard fought matches had diminished them to the point where he was safe in facing them.He didn’t ever face Paul Williams, Tszyu, Margarito, Erol Spence, Terrence Crawford, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, and most of all, Winky Wright.Calling Floyd the best in history when he ducked or avoided 2/3 of the best fighters of his age is ridiculous. He cherry picked outrageously to protect that “0”All fighters to some extent are matched intelligently on the way up.Larry Holmes said it best, Larry Holmes, while champion, openly lectured young fighters on avoiding anyone dangerous on the way up. Holmes said in an interview with the *New York Times* immediately prior to his defense of his title against Tim Witherspoon, who was an undefeated 15-0 fighter, that Witherspoon was fighting him too soon, that when he was 15-0, 20-0, (in 1976) he avoided certain fighters, says:“You duck the good fighters at that stage of your career. You're just trying to get into position.”A good example was 1976 when Larry was #6 contender, and was offered a fight with the #1 contender, George Foreman. Larry’s team did not think he could win, and turned the fight down. Larry, who believed he could win, explained in his autobiography, Larry Holmes: Against the Odds, saying:“these fights, especially the proposed 1976 Foreman fight, were simply too risky for the low purses being offered.”But Floyd carried this to extremes, and once he became a marketable name, he showed his difference from other careful matchmakers, such as Holmes. Larry would fight Godzilla if the money was right. Floyd would only fight opponents he was sure he could beat, and for those who were dangerous, he carefully picked the time and made sure the conditions diminished any chance the opponent had.Floyd turned careful matchmaking into a pathetic joke he played on fansKim Hogue says:““winning an alphabet world title doesn’t mean you can become branded as an ‘elite’ fighter by anyone who actually understands boxing.”Thornton Clifford writes of Armstrong's feat of holding 3 titles simultaneously:“back then there were eight titles, eight weight classes, total, and he held three of them at once! That would be equivalent to Mayweather holding six of today's weight class belts at once if there was only one title in each weightclass, and if you factor in five organizations awarding titles, he would have to have held 24”Floyd played the alphabet title game to avoid fighting for an undisputed title.Compare this and think:there were 17 top 100 fighters during Ezzard Charles rise and reign - he fought them allthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Muhammad Ali’s time - he fought them allthere were 18 top 100 fighters during Ray Robinson’s time - he fought 16 of themthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Floyd’s time - he fought 6 of the 17Compare those records again, and see that Mayweather is nowhere close to Robinson, Ezzard Charles or Ali as an all time great:there were 17 top 100 fighters during Ezzard Charles rise and reign - he fought them allthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Muhammad Ali’s time - he fought them allthere were 18 top 100 fighters during Ray Robinson’s time - he fought 16 of themthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Floyd’s time - he fought 6 of the 17Floyd is greatest at, and is unbeaten at, all time cherry picking. That is all he is the greatest at.CREDIT TO:Boxrec for statistic, records and rankingsCox’s Corner and Monte CoxDan Rafeal and ESPN “Manny Pacquiao has shoulder surgery” (May 6, 2015)Floyd Mayweather received banned IV fluids before Pacquiao fight by Thomas HauserFloyd Mayweather: an all-time great or an arrogant fraud who ducks fights?Floyd Mayweather Jr. and 25 Best Defensive Boxers in HistoryMayweather had banned IV before Pacquiao fightMayweather’s 50-0 record beaten as Thai ‘Dwarf Giant’ Menayothin retires 54-0.Mike Tyson Goes Off on Floyd Mayweather for Saying He's Better Than Muhammad Ali.Roberto Duran Details How He Would Have Beaten Floyd Mayweather | Boxing News and ViewsRotator Cuff Tears by J.

Floyd is the most skilled boxer of his era, but there is absolutely no way Floyd is the most skilled boxer of all time.Floyd isn’t even the most skilled boxer of all time in his weight class, let alone pound for pound!Floyd couldn’t carry Ray Robinson’s, or Ezzard Charles’s, or Ali’s, gym bag, let alone compare to them as an all time great.CREDIT PICTURE FOX SPORTSNot one single real expert believes Floyd is the Greatest of all Time, because he is not.Most don’t believe he is the best defensive boxer of all time - most rank Wilie Pep, Nicolino Locche and Sweat Pea Whitaker ahead of him.Floyd’s primary claim to being the best of all time is his undefeated record.And, undefeated records are not a good measure of greatnessJack Blackburn, prince of trainers, used to say he could get a cab driver to 20–0 by matching him with drunks or hobos.Undefeated records, especially when it comes to boxing, are very overvalued as a measure of greatness. If a boxer is a star the magnitude of Mayweather he can pretty much pick and choose whom he fights. With four sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) it’s easy to find a limited opponent to fight with a title on the line and pass it off as a legitimate championship bout and enough fans will buy it, literally and figuratively.You can even convince the public that a complete amateur is an interesting fight.Comparing Mayweather’s #50 fight against a rank amateur, who had never literally boxed as an amateur or a professional, against say, Roy Jones’ 50th fight against all time great Glen Johnson, (and Jones would have been 50–0 except for the spotty disqualification against Montel Griffin whom he destroyed in the rematch!), is a joke.There is no comparison in their records.And if an undefeated record were the sole reason for determining best of all time Thai boxer Wanheng Menayothin. just retired with a record of 54–0, therefore, by Mayweather logic, Wanheng must be the GOAT!Mayweather’s 50-0 record beaten as Thai ‘Dwarf Giant’ Menayothin retires 54-0.Only he is not the greatest of all time, of course!Lew Wallace, the boxing writer and historian, speaks of the artificial puffing up of records against cherry picked competition, saying::“unbeaten records are fairly padded; you have to look if there are any notable victories coming against first rate competition.”He also addressed the myopic claims that Mayweather and other fighters claim multi-division titles by grabbing one of the 68 alphabet titles available - and if you count the Ring's titles, there are 85; (255 if you count super, interim, and regular titles!):“these lies won’t penetrate the skin of the boxing community, it will, however, continue to deceive the wider casual public, with the true best fighters on this planet the ones that will feel the negative effect.”Roy Jones recently said in an interview with the Sweet Science:“Floyd Mayweather was TBE at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine. You can’t pretend it’s the same. You can’t pretend there’s ever been anyone come close to doing what I did. Nobody you could name could touch me – and I’m talking about nobody who’s around now, nobody who was around in my prime, and nobody who was around any time you can mention outta your mouth.”Roy Jones Jr. Says He Was Better Than Mayweather….and Roy's Right!Other fighters than Roy Jones know what Floyd is, and what he didMike Tyson, in his own, absolutely no hold back way, summed up Floyd, repeated claims that he is the greatest of all time:“He's very delusional. Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of greatness with Ali he'd be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can't take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he's great? Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself.”And Mike added with open contempt::“He's a little, scared man. He's a very small, scared man.”Tyson said as he walked away.Mike Tyson Goes Off on Floyd Mayweather for Saying He's Better Than Muhammad Ali.Sugar Ray Leonard was more diplomatic.with open contempt::“Ali is the Greatest of all time, Floyd ain’t”.Sugar Ray Leonard Says Ali is the G.O.A.T., Mayweather Ain'tRoberto Duran laughs at the thought of Mayweather being the best of all time.Speaking in an interview with ESPN Deportes, Duran said:“Mayweather would have fought me I would have busted all of his ribs. A man who covers up as well as he does you have to throw to the liver, and that is going to give you openings”.And of course, these are not the only fighters who feel this way.Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest woman beaters of all time, (Carlos Monzon and Edwin Valero edge him by killing their ladies, but Floyd ranks right behind them!)At least Monzon and Valero fought every man who would get in the ring with them, which is not something you can say about Floyd.Monte Cox says::“I cannot in all honesty put Mayweather in the top 10 welterweights based on a career of hand picked opponents and having never unified a major title. Floyd avoided fights with Mosley, Margarito and Pacquiao when they meant something. He waited for these opponents to slow down and fade before considering facing them. Mayweather just does not have the competition to be considered a true all time great. I am not convinced that Floyd would beat any of the top 10 all time welterweights.”Muhammad Ali said it best:“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”Floyd never gambled in his career, never faced the best, and so, he is not in the hallowed company of the very best.Floyd Mayweather preferred beating up women and rank amateurs to fighting tough professionals. And if the rank amateur was three weight classes smaller, so much the better!As a historian pithily stated about Woodrow Wilson, and it applies to Floyd:“His record is merely an illusion of greatness..”When you examine who Floyd did not fight, the conditions he placed on those he did face whom he thought were dangerous to his zero, when he choose to fight them, and where he chose, getting preferential treatment by the Nevada Commission, he simply is not among the true immortals of boxing.Floyd is the most shameless cherry picker of the modern ageLet me be clear, there were top fighters Roy could, and should, have faced.But next to Floyd Mayweather Junior, he is Muhammad Ali, (who faced every top 150 fighter of his age, every single, one. Floyd is the Master of Ducking.No one typifies running up their record with has beens and never was’s while ducking real fighters as much as Floyd Mayweather!Let us use Ali versus Floyd as an example:there were 22 top 150 all time heavyweights fighting during Ali’s time, and Ali faced every single one of them. Stop and take that in again: Ali faced every one. He beat 21 of the 22, including 16 of the top 100 fighters that he faced, and 21 of the top 22!During Floyd Mayweather’s time at the top, there were 9 welterweights listed in the top 100, 7 more in the top 150. Floyd faced just 4 of 9 in the top 100, 2 of 7 in the top 150. Of those four in the top 100, he waited till Cotto, Pacquiao and Mosley had been worn down by other ring wars, fought De La Hoya at the end of his career.Ali faced 22 of 22 greats of his age.Floyd faced 6 of 17 and claims a victory over a complete amateur instead of fighting someone who actually knew how to fight makes him the Greatest. Sure.Lewis Watson, the boxing writer and historian, speaks of the artificial puffing up of records against cherry picked competition, saying:“Unbeaten records are fairly padded; you have to look if there are any notable victories coming against first rate competition."He also addressed the myopic claims that Mayweather and other fighters claim multi-division titles by grabbing one of the 68 alphabet titles available - and if you count the Ring's titles, there are 85; (255 if you count super, interim, and regular titles!):“Lies won’t penetrate the skin of the boxing community, it will, however, continue to deceive the wider casual public, with the true best fighters on this planet the ones that will feel the negative effect."Kim Hogue says:“Winning an alphabet world title doesn’t mean you can become branded as an ‘elite’ fighter by anyone who actually understands boxing."Thornton Clifford writes of Armstrong's feat of holding 3 titles simultaneously:“Back then there were eight titles, eight weight classes, total, and he held three of them at once! That would be equivalent to Mayweather holding six of today's weight class belts at once if there was only one title in each weightclass, and if you factor in five organizations awarding titles, he would have to have held 24!"Calling Floyd the best in history when he ducked or avoided 2/3 of the best fighters of his age is ridiculous.Floyd called out Winky - and then ran for his lifeIn 2005, Mayweather called out Winky Wright, the lineal and formerly undisputed 154 lbs title holder who had just beaten Felix Trinidad at 160 lbs and could point to two wins over Mosely. Wright agreed and within days had his team in the office of Top Rank (Floyd's promoters at the time) offices hammering out the contract for the fight.The details were hammered out: the bout would be at 154 lbs but weigh-ins would be the morning of the bout rather than the day before and Wright would not be allowed to gain more than eight pounds between weighing in and the start of the contest. But Mayweather and Bob Arum suddenly pulled out.Mayweather ducked Winky - as the contract was agreed on, Floyd became more and more uneasy, and he pulled out.That is ducking.It is doubly bad ducking when you, like Floyd, ran your mouth about beating Wright, agreed to a contract, and then backed down.Floyd showed no interest in fighting Kostya TszyuFloyd showed no interest in fighting Kostya Tszyu when both were campaigning near the same weight; Tszyu certainly was willing to fight Floyd, but the ultimate cherry picker had no interest in fighting him.Floyd playing “let’s fight at the weight best for me, and I sure won’t show up within the weight limits!”In 2007, Ricky Hatton wanted to fight Floyd at junior welterweight, and Floyd made him come back up to welterweight in order to get the fight.Juan Marquez had never fought above lightweight when Cherry Pickin’ Floyd wanted to fight him. Did he meet Marquez at Junior Welter? Of course not! He insisted on a contract weight of 144, or welterweight, despite that being two weight classes higher than Marquez had fought at.Having gotten another of his favorable weight restrictions, did Floyd show up and make weight? Of course not! The champion cherry picker showed up at 146.Did the Nevada Commission make Floyd pay a penalty or sanction him? of course not! They allowed him to file an amended contract! (he did pay a contract penalty, to Marquez, but the Commission would have sanctioned anyone else!)Just as the commission allows him to use illegal IV’s and denies his opponents legal medications!And then there was Miguel Cotto - Floyd said no to fighting him at his bestIn 2007-08, Miquel Cotto was the next best welterweight in the world behind Mayweather. A thrilling fighter he had moved up in weight and easily disposed of Carlos Quintana, smashed the over-matched Urkal, stopped Judah and then beaten Shane Mosley in an excellent showing. He was by any definition the most deserving fighter to face Mayweather. There was no reason for the bout not to be made. But Mayweather instead signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya.Of course Mayweather did eventually face Cotto but it was years later, and after gruelling wars with Margarito and others had sapped Cotto and he wasn't the same fighter.The 2007-08 version of Cotto with his inside game, hook and versatile jab was a major challenge for Mayweather. The 2012 version may have been good enough to pose Mayweather some problems but he wasn't the same. Mayweather ducked Cotto at his best. There's no other way to put it.Paul Williams certainly pursued the elusive Mayweather, who had no intention of facing anyone he was not sure he could beatPaul “The Punisher” Williams wanted a fight with Mayweather, and tried everything to get that chance. He called him out in interviews, trash talked and said he would do anything to get that fight. Williams was confident that he could one day defeat Mayweather.Floyd never gave him a chance, of course.And what about Erislandy Lara, who chased the cherry picker too?Lara spent 2014 and 2015 pursuing Mayweather, before he finally gave up. He didn’t have a chance, since he was definitely in Floyd’s class as a slick boxer or more.What about when Mayweather let his fans pick his next opponent - then backed down when they picked the lightning fast Amir Khan“I’m going to let the fans vote. Tell me who I should fight next. Khan or Maidana?" Mayweather posted on his personal Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts in 2014:“I’m going to let the fans vote. Tell me who I should fight next. Khan or Maidana?"Khan won by 2–1, and trainer Freddie Roach talked about Khan using his speed to beat Mayweatheroach said:“I always thought he could beat him with his speed. I think he’s faster than Mayweather and that’s what it takes to beat him. Floyd might have his hands full on the night.Mayweather evidently thought so too, went back on his word, and scheduled the much easier Maidana.Or Antonio Marqarito, who practically begged Mayweather to fight?In 2006 Bob Arum tried to make a Margarito versus Floyd Mayweather Jr fight, and offered old cherry picking Floyd $8 million, but Mayweather turned it down. Called at that time “the most feared man in boxing” Margarito continued to seek out the best possible opponents and met Paul Williams in 2007, while Floyd made a junior welterweight come up to fight him! What a guy!Or Sergio Martinez, who was willing to come down to whip Floyd?He offered to come down to Junior Middleweight to meet Floyd, and would have gone to 152 even. But Floyd was having no part of the then cat quick Martinez.What about Erol Spence, Terrence Crawford, Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter?While Floyd was declaring his cherry picking self the greatest of all time, every major welterweight was calling him out. Erol Spence beat Floyd up sparring with him - and he was still a kid!Instead of doing what Manny Pacquiao did, and challenging a young lion at 40, old Cherry Picking Mayweather ducked them all, each and every one, and fought a complete amateur and then claimed it was a record breaking victory!And Floyd loved him some catchweights!Ask Canelo who Floyd made shrink to 152. Winky had to agree to come down to meet Floyd - but when Floyd watched tape and discovered Winky at 154 was twice the fighter he was, Floyd did what he did best - ran, ran, ran!Floyd loved waiting till fighters got old, had too many ring wars, or not at allAnd that was a pattern through Mayweather’s whole career - he faced Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao only when he was convinced time and hard fought matches had diminished them to the point where he was safe in facing them.He didn’t face Paul Williams, Tszyu, Margarito, and most of all, Winky Wright, at all.Floyd also, for the last 13 years of his career, only fought in Nevada where he received preferential treatment by the Nevada CommissionYou have to factor in, in addition to Floyd’s shameless cherry picking and other gimics, his misuse of illegal IV’s, and his influence on the Nevada Commission treating his opponents differently, when assessing his all time greatness as a fighter.Floyd’s opponents certainly did not get any break from the Nevada CommissionManny Pacquiao was denied treatment prior to the fight approved by the doctors and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, but vetoed by the Floyd loving Nevada Commission.Because of a severe rotator cuff injury, and believing if he cancelled or postponed the fight Floyd would never agree to another date, Manny, on the advice of his doctors, requested a shot of Ketorolac, sold under the brand name Toradol, among others, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), an anti-inflammatory that acts for about 5 days to dramatically reduce inflammation and allow use of a damaged rotator cuff, muscle, et al. It does reduce pain, but that is a side effect of reducing the inflammation so significantly.Ketorolac was patented in 1976 and approved for medical use in 1989. It is available as a generic medication. The primary mechanism of action responsible for ketorolac's anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects is the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by competitive blocking of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). Ketorolac is a non-selective COX inhibitor. It is considered a first-generation nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.In the US, ketorolac is the only widely available intravenous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.Ironically, toradol is not on the list of banned medications or substances in Nevada.Pacquiao’s camp was told by his orthopedist that he could take the injection if he wanted, and the United States Anti-Doping Agency approved the in-competition use of the remedy for the Pacquiao-Mayweather match in a certified document.The problem was that the Nevada Commission claimed the USADA never shared its approval with the state commission, Chairman Francisco Aguilar said, so when Pacquiao’s camp told the commission it wanted the fighter to take the injection at 6:08 p.m. on fight night, the request was rejected.Aguilar said that Pacquiao’s camp noted the possible need for the medication, already approved, on a medical form filled out at Friday’s weigh-in, but a check mark in the “no” box was placed next to the question of whether the fighter had a shoulder injury. Although the commission, with the medical documentation of the medical necessity, and the Anti-Doping Agency's approval, could have waived that mistake, they choose not to.Pacquiao, who does not speak, let alone write, fluent English, depended on his team to fill the paperwork out properly. When they made the mistake of not checking a shoulder injury, the Nevada Commission - the same Commission which allows Floyd to inject his hands prior to fights with pain killers - seized on the technicality, although the drug itself as listed along with the medial and anti-doping approvals, and refused to allow the medical treatment.Floyd got an illegal IV infusion prior to the fight, but it was okayed retroactively by the Floyd loving Nevada CommissionTo add insult to outrage, Mayweather was allowed to use an illegal IV prior to the right without any sort of repercussions of any kind.Yes, Floyd Mayweather received an intravenous injection before his fight against Manny Pacquiao, contrary to World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines. Mayweather received an retroactive exemption for the IV after the fight.Agents of the United States Anti-Doping Agency who showed up to give Mayweather a random drug test after the fight’s weigh-in “found evidence of an IV being administered” to the boxer. Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett told SB Nation, which had broken the story, that USADA did not clarify to the Nevada State Athletic Commission whether Mayweather was actually receiving an injection when the anti-doing agents came to his home, or, he had just received it.In any event, Floyd admitted to receiving “vitamens.”According to Mayweather’s medical team, the fighter was given two composite vitamin mixes for dehydration. While the injections did not allegedly include any banned substances, IVs are still banned under World Anti-Doping Agency and the United States Anti-Doping Agency rules because they are, or can be, used to “dilute or mask the presence of another substance.”Nearly three weeks after the fight, USADA granted Mayweather a retroactive therapeutic use exemption to receive IV injections. USADA told the NSAC that Mayweather had not applied for the therapeutic use exemption until 18 days after the fight, 19 days after his test, and the Commission, the same Commission that refused Pacquiao legitimate medical treatment, approved.The Nevada Commission, either by hook or crook, did everything it could to tilt the playing field for Mayweather. Would a healthy Manny have won? Would he have won if they had met in 2010? We simply don’t know.Floyd loved waiting till fighters got old, or had too many ring warsAnd that was a pattern through Mayweather’s whole career - he faced Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao only when he was convinced time and hard fought matches had diminished them to the point where he was safe in facing them.He didn’t ever face Paul Williams, Tszyu, Margarito, Erol Spence, Terrence Crawford, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, and most of all, Winky Wright.Calling Floyd the best in history when he ducked or avoided 2/3 of the best fighters of his age is ridiculous. He cherry picked outrageously to protect that “0”All fighters to some extent are matched intelligently on the way up.Larry Holmes said it best, Larry Holmes, while champion, openly lectured young fighters on avoiding anyone dangerous on the way up. Holmes said in an interview with the *New York Times* immediately prior to his defense of his title against Tim Witherspoon, who was an undefeated 15-0 fighter, that Witherspoon was fighting him too soon, that when he was 15-0, 20-0, (in 1976) he avoided certain fighters, says:“You duck the good fighters at that stage of your career. You're just trying to get into position.”A good example was 1976 when Larry was #6 contender, and was offered a fight with the #1 contender, George Foreman. Larry’s team did not think he could win, and turned the fight down. Larry, who believed he could win, explained in his autobiography, Larry Holmes: Against the Odds, saying:“these fights, especially the proposed 1976 Foreman fight, were simply too risky for the low purses being offered.”But Floyd carried this to extremes, and once he became a marketable name, he showed his difference from other careful matchmakers, such as Holmes. Larry would fight Godzilla if the money was right. Floyd would only fight opponents he was sure he could beat, and for those who were dangerous, he carefully picked the time and made sure the conditions diminished any chance the opponent had.Floyd turned careful matchmaking into a pathetic joke he played on fansKim Hogue says:““winning an alphabet world title doesn’t mean you can become branded as an ‘elite’ fighter by anyone who actually understands boxing.”Thornton Clifford writes of Armstrong's feat of holding 3 titles simultaneously:“back then there were eight titles, eight weight classes, total, and he held three of them at once! That would be equivalent to Mayweather holding six of today's weight class belts at once if there was only one title in each weightclass, and if you factor in five organizations awarding titles, he would have to have held 24”Floyd played the alphabet title game to avoid fighting for an undisputed title.Compare this and think:there were 17 top 100 fighters during Ezzard Charles rise and reign - he fought them allthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Muhammad Ali’s time - he fought them allthere were 18 top 100 fighters during Ray Robinson’s time - he fought 16 of themthere were 17 top 100 fighters during Floyd’s time - he fought 6 of the 17Finally, Floyd is not even the best defensive boxer of all time.Floyd is the best of his generation, but anyone who saw Willie Pep, NIcolino Locche, or Pernell Whitaker fight, knows there were at least 3 better. Most experts certainly agree with this.Willie Pep and the 5 Greatest Defensive Fighters of All Time.James Slater in 2016 wrote an article comparing Whitaker, Mayweather, and Pep on defense. Whitaker's trainer for ten years, Ronnie Shields, told Slater how he feels the man known as “Sweet Pea” warrants recognition as the finest defensive fighter of all time, saying:““Pernell was born with the reflexes he had. You cannot teach reflexes. He had so much natural ability, the way he would move his body and his feet; he would turn one way and practice throwing a counter punch from that stance, and then he would turn another way. He would never watch films of an opponent. I would study the films and then he’d ask me what the guy’s best punch was; what the guy did best in general. Then he’d go away and work on what I’d told him – he’d figure out which moves, which turns, would work best against the guy‘s best punch. He’d practice over and over, on which punch would work best as a counter against what the guy was going to do. Pernell is arguably the best defensive fighter in history.”The Finest Defensive Boxer Ever: Floyd Mayweather Junior? Willie Pep? Nicolino Locche? Pernell Whitaker? — Boxing NewsFred Kelley of Bleacher Report listed the twenty-five best defensive fighters of history, and he ranks Mayweather and Whitaker as tied for #3 all time behind Willie Pep at #1, and Locche as #2.
