Mayweather’s in ring skills are as good as anybody who ever set foot in a ring. What keeps me from listing him as an all time great is that he never had that fight against a rival where he had to dig deep and go that extra mile. To me what separates Ali from the rest (in addition to his unmatched cultural impact) is that he kept going against guys like Frazier and Foreman.

That is what made the early/mid-80’s so much fun. The best fought the best in epic battles. I think if you put prime Floyd in that era, he is not able to deal with Duran’s relentless pressure, he is out worked by Leonard, and Hitman Hearns obliterates him.

As far as Melo and where he ranks, I really don’t know if he is 50, 60 or 70 and it could be debated all day. All I know is that he was a great player, should be a first ballot hall of famer, he is a positive force in the community, he represents SU well and bleeds Orange. He led us to our only NC and will always be Cuse royalty.
