Floyd Mayweather, whose legacy will be written in less than two weeks against Manny Pacquiao, said he respects Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson, but he’d never consider them better fighters. That begs a question: What was he smoking? It also sparked a thought: Who are the fighters who rank above the undefeated Mayweather, using skills, social impact and overall career as barometers.

just staying in the recent past: Thomas Hearns, Aaron Pyror, Alexis Arguello , Roberto Duran, Salvador Sanchez, Julio Caesar Chavez, Marvin Hagler, Ray Leonard, John Mugabe……..
Wait so Leonard at Floyd's age was getting kod but that doesn't count? So why does it count for Floyd. He hasn't been in his prime in 5 or 6 yrs. Also, you fail to mention Floyd has beaten more world champions or former world champions and future hof than all of them but Robinson. I don't think Floyd is the best but he is better than leonard and Louis.
Arguello and Mugabe? Come on now
Mayweather has not fought one elite boxer while that boxer was still in his prime. Not one. Can't be the GOAT with that record.
Floyd is No2, Robinson No1…Anything else your an idiot.
