Statistically proving Floyd Mayweather is not the GOAT
From lots of time now, we've been hearing this supposed claim that Floyd beat the most world champions, hence why he's the goat
this people fail to realize that beating champs is only 1 stat when comparing resumes, and there are more stats that we need to take into account when we determine which fighter has the better resume
today i'll do that, by comparing "TBE" to Sugar Ray Robinson (many people's GOAT)
as i stated before in my previous stat post comparing Langford and Tyson, i'm only taking into account raw stats
the reason i'm doing this is because i hate newrap, and for entertainment purposes, but mostly because i hate newrap, fuck newrap
let's get started
| Stats | SRR | TBE (Supposedly) |
|---|---|---|
| Fights V Champs | 38 | 24 |
| Champs beat | 14 | 22 |
| Wins V Champs | 26 | 24 |
| Fights V Hall of Famers | 29 | 8 |
| Hall of Famers beat | 10 | 8 |
| Wins V Hall of Famers | 21 | 8 |
| Title Fights | 22 | 26 |
| Title Fight Wins | 14 | 26 |
| Title Defences | 8 | 18 |
| World Titles | 6 | 11 |
| Lineal Titles | 6 | 5 |
| Undisputed Titles | 6 | N/A |
| Fights V Top 10 Rated | 85 | 27 |
| Wins V Top 10 Rated | 67 | 27 |
| Fights V Top 3 Rated | 61 | 22 |
| Wins V Top 3 Rated | 46 | 22 |
| Fights V #1 Contender | 26 | 10 |
| Wins V #1 Contender | 19 | 10 |
SRR Wins, 13-5
Something important to note here is the lack of world titles won by SRR, it's very easy to explain
Back when SRR boxed, he boxed in an era with 2 belts per division instead of the 4 belts that TBE fought through and the 4 belts that we all know today
No, this doesn't mean that it was easier to become undisputed, as the absolute best held the belts instead of people who were sub-par and were gifted titles against other sub-par opponents
Floyd ain't the goat
