The Greatness Of Mayweather

    Despite how you feel about Floyd "Money" Mayweather when it comes to boxing the man is one of the best fighters of all-time with some believing that he will go down the best ever with the undefeated record of 43 victories and zero losses.
    It bothers me that people don't appreciate how great of a boxer Mayweather really is. The things that he does in the ring amazes me everything I'm done watching a fight. The guy never gets hits to a point of making his opponents look foolish throwing all kinds of punches, while Floyd just rolls his shoulder often smiling in the process. If your a fan of numbers I have one for you, Mayweather is the best defensive boxer ever with his opponents only landing 16% of their punches thrown that statistic alone speaks for itself. Last time I checked one of the main objectives in boxing is to not get hit if I'm correct.
     I strongly believe and know that Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the best boxer to ever step foot in the ring, statistics wise. I understand people like to throw names out like Ali, Hearns, and Sugar Ray are better, but the numbers say different. Mayweather has the highest plus/minus in boxing history with a plus/minus of 30, higher than all of the greatest that I just named, know to mention 43 have tried and 43 have failed.
     Now for the Pacquiao situation I do believe if he and Mayweather were to ever fight, that Mayweather would win. Along with Mayweather being the best defensive fighter to ever box, he is also the more accurate landing 41.6% of his jabs to Pacquiao's 12.6%. That's not the only thing that Mayweather does better than Pacquiao, Mayweather also lands a higher percentage of his power punches at 47.8% to Pacquiao's 45.3%. The numbers show not only is Mayweather is the best boxer, be is also is the more accurate than Pacquiao.
    I don't believe the two will fight despite what many say, whether its Mayweather not wanting to split the revenue to 50/50 or Pacquiao not wanting to take the urine and blood sample tests. Its shame the two probably won't fight it really is, but don't let your personal opinions get in the way of how great of a fighter Mayweather really is.
