If Mayweather fought the same fight Canelo did vs GGG, he'd win a unanimous decision

GGG might be too big for Floyd but... if they would be the same size or a little closer in style then it's not debatable imo...
Floyd is just a higher level boxer than GGG a pressure fighter which is not to say GGG is any bad but Mayweather is a legit top 20-30 fighter of all time

tell me the 19 or 29 boxers that are better than FLoyd historically

of course there's room for argument and I doN't have a definitive list either, it's rather an estimation.

SRR, SRL, Ali, Duran, Greb, Armstrong, Louis, Pep, Johnson, Tunney, Ketchel, Moore, Ezzard Charles, Benny Leonard, Dempsey, Gans, Foreman, Canzoneri, Wilde...

You have SRL ahead of Floyd ? Breh, stop posting right now.

If you don't have Floyd on your top top 10, top 5, your list is invalid


edit: I didn't see Durant on your list. That's embarrassing breh. You used to be an okay poster too :dahell:

and because of one post you very much doN't agree with I'm not anymore? :what: Calm down breh... it ain't that serious, it's a fantasy list. Most of the historians who have actual ranked lists and they took their time to really make it don't have Floyd in the top 5-10 either, when I said he's top 20-30 ever I meant it as a praise never thought somebody would take it as an offense :gucci:

what's the problem with SRL being there (above Floyd)? He beat people like Wilfred Benitez, Hagler - that's a w on his record even if it was controversial - , Hearns and Duran... Does Floyd have any win as good as beating Hearn, Hagler or Benitez?

and what's the problem with Duran? He blew out the water everybody in lw and moving up he still scored wins like the first SRL fight or later Barkley
Did Floyd beat a fighter like SRL in his prime when he moved up or like... ever?

Don't get me wrong it's not an anti-Floyd rhetoric I've never been among the haters of him I respect his skills and how he pimped the boxing game being his own boss, becoming the biggest superstar taking money out of his haters' pocket while he stick to his style and could retire with a healthy brain, I even think his resume is great but I can't understand how is it offensive to have him "only" in top 20 or 30 and not 10 :yeshrug:

Oh geez.....the list of people he's never seen box in his life again

This is hilarious given the fact that the only two fights where there's anyone who thinks that Floyd lost is fights against effective, relentless pressure fighters in JCC and Maidana, and he was more effective against both than Canelo was against GGG.

So even the dumb premise of this thread is flawed

Mayweather will always get stopped by GGG. No way in hell he would've been able to take the shots Canelo did. McGregor fight showed you how far done Floyd is anyways. Took him 10 rounds to stop a guy making his pro debut with no amateur experience. Mind you Floyd has no power for 147lbers. But he's gonna somehow keep GGG off of him? How? If GGG ate ALL of Canelos punches and still kept coming, against Floyd he'd barely flinch. I imagine Floyd would do ALOT of excessive holding, elbow usage and running, but his legs been gone. GGG stops Mayweather in 6

what's the point in talking about a natural iron chinned, huge power MW vs Floyd a relatively small welterweight anyway?
If they would be the same size or just a size closer we all know who would win

Man, fukk Floyd. What Im saying is Canelo won the fight imo. Im saying if Floyd fought the same fight Canelo fought, he would have been awarded the decision and nobody would argue.
You dont get outlanded by 60 punches and win. Its virtually impossible.

U do when they're just grazing shots that he just compiled in certain rnds. Canelo had better defense, the harder punches. GGG just had activity on his side.
