Floyd Mayweather Apprieciation Thread

Anything you like or appriciate about Floyd Mayweather put it in here, only GOOD comments, lets see if we can have a positive discussion about this guy without it devleoping into warfare. Any GOOD things to say about mayweather and his carrer, his best wins, skills everything, please post them in here. I liked his chinchilla trunks.

all around good fighter good defense and good hand speed and he can be a good brawler when he wants to:boxing:

fair enough, but you discussed it yourself and then told everyone else to get back on track! If you're going to talk about titles, expect a boxing scholar like crold to reply. Whats the point of a thread full of only praise, is what I'm really asking. A thread minus the hate is one thing, but one without critical analysis is really a nut holding job isn't it. What this forum needs is to be able to critically assess fighters with careful thought, which is just what crold was doing. Dude, i didnt start the convo about which titles meant what , He did, i said mayweather held the WBC in all 5 weights, and he was the one, who took it off topic talking about what the WBC meant, so go back and read that. So no i did not instigate any talk about which titles meant what until he did. And thus the reason why i answered his question, and then asked him to get back to topic, instead of not answering his question, and telling him to get back to topic.

and Im all fine and dandy with that, all boxers should take the step back and try and rest if they are winded or hurt, I HATE guys that start that backwards movement from punch 1 like floyd does.

Criticism is part of everything, You cant expect to come on a boxing forum and make a post nut huggin a guy and not expect people to come in and give their thoughts about it. And thats all this and the hatton thread was doing , nut hugging. I like Hatton, I think he is a great fighter, even the fights where he hugged, but what fighter doesnt hug, thats what fighters who are good at fighting inside do, and he wasnt the only one hugging, but Im not gonna make a post about how great someone is without expecting the opposing view. Ive made my feelings on Mayweather known frequently, and those marks are the worst, so you should of expected all the people who cant stand floyd and cant stand all the nut huggin to give their points of view. Noone is the supreme leader on who is a great boxer and who isnt. So noone should let anyone else tell them who sucks and who doesnt because they dont know. Everyone has opinions that they share. Only the ignorant ones go around poking fun and laughing at those that dont share the same view. I try to have boxing debates, but all the mayweather nut huggin is getting to me. Floyd needs to go back to the amaeteur weight with the rest of the runners, Professional boxing was created because fans wanted to see the big knockout, its strayed way from that. I saw someone on here that had the nerve to say that Floyd was better than Roy jones Jr... that sentance makes you laugh without a joke from me.. Not all fans want or need to see the big knockout guy. Real fans know every boxing match isn't a hollywood movie. There are fans that enjoy the science of boxing. Especially when the fighter is a family member or a friend. The win is the most important for the fighter and his team then the entertainment. If people have ADD when it comes to boxing they shouldn't watch. Bottom line. I enjoy good brawls but I can understand if a boxer's not trying to get brain damage. It's retarded for a fighter to just stand there and get hit. Yes, running in a fight is annoying but getting distance to regroup is part of the game.

I would have to say his hand speed and defense.

This guy is a beast when it comes to strategy. Some cats dont like him cuz they say he dont brawl. But look at Hatton does he brawl or hug? Does Cotto's nut kicking count as brawling. IMO boxing is brawling. Does daggum 5 haymakers make you a brawler or just throwing hooks and upper cuts? Does an arm bar make u a brawler? No. It just means you're a stinker and not a thinker. Floyd vs Manny Pacquiao= Money!!! (at 135)

Its all very well telling people not to criticise Floyd, but when crold made extremely valid points about the belt you had your say then told him to get back to topic. There is no point having a thread like this. it's akin to making such a thread for every fighter and a corollary for the negatives about every fighter. Floyd was a fighter that in his whole career against top opposition only ever once looked close to losing, and cleared that up in a rematch. he fought good opposition 4 divisions above his starting weight and won. He had great defensive and offensive skills, footwork was very good, beard never looked like folding, had heart, used dirty tactics when he could, boxed cleverly at higher weights. Got out whilst on the top of the pile. Dude, this is all irrelevant , there are threads about the belts where people can discuss that in depth, he can say what he wants, but i didnt want things to get off topic, anyways this thread worked perfectly fine last night, its only this morning assholes have come in it and tried to ruin it, Fuckin pitiful, if you people aint got nothing nice to say about floyd, dont post in here, thats the point of the thread, only good stuff Some other ass made a thread for bad comments about mayweather, i didnt have anything bad to say about floyd, so i didnt post in it, very simple. I did the same thing for Ricky Hatton, and people tried to ruin that one as well, To be honest, i knew it couldnt last without some idiots coming in, because you get people here that dont know anything about boxing and all they can do is slag off and criticise fighters, its a joke. But yeah, last night we mananged to pretty much stay on track for a while, that was nice.

DLH still the best? This is one of the most STUPID allegations I have ever heard from fake FLod's fans. Lols! Gimme a break. You only need basic common sense to know DLH is over the hill. lols! Now borrow fake Floyd's glasses dude. You seem to share his stupidity. im surprised you can post wit nuts in yo mouth:bottle:

Now borrow fake Floyd's glasses dude. You seem to share his stupidity. Try Vasiline, i hear it numbs the pain, and please get out of my thread, Well done to those who were men enough to be positive in this thread, only a couple of pricks tried to ruin it.

Basic common sense. Rings are useless if you got them from the Baldo's, Gatti's and old DLH. The real test of greatness aren't rings but your resume and manner of victory. Now get some glasses. DLH now is still the best at 154 and would probably beat about everyone at 147(except Mosley maybe Cotto). Going up in weight defeating fighters in weightclasses you don't belong is impressive. Not every fighter is a KO artist. Pernell didn't KO everyone and he was the man. Along with Hopkins. Manner of victory doesn't mean shit. You don't have to KO someone to put on a good fight. Ask anyone who saw Malignaggi's last fight. You go get some glasses hatin ass fool.

I hate people who forget that Floyd was a stand and trade fighter before he moved up. After the Baldomir and DLh fight people say he is boring what about his other fights he loved to stand in the pocket and trade. ANyway Mayweather is great because of his speed, defense, footwork, stamina, and at lighter weights power which is still underated.

Ranking his shit at 135-140 Ring smarts: A+ Chin:A Defense:A+ Power: B+ Hand speed: A+ Foot Speed:A+ Offense: A People forget how much of a beast Mayweather was when he had it all. He knows how to use good offense but since his shit doesn't work as much anymore he tilts more defensively now a days.

Best fake fighter in the sport. Crap resume. Runs like a chicken Throws 30 punches per round Even worse than John Ruiz for bear-hugging. You fake Floyd fans are really suffering from serious mental illness for seeing a guy as "skilled" like Floyd. :D 5 titles in 5 different weightclasses isn't fake. Supposedly ran in a fight HE HAD WON. Hopkins throws few punches per round don't see him hated on. You haters need to let Floyd rock and quit actin pussy.

what else can i say that hasn't been said already. i have given this man more props than anyone i believe. -a smart fighter, the smartest in the ring. -a confident fighter, the most confident out of any fighter -can win under any circumstances, knows how to win in adverse situations, when the crowd is booing him or when his back is against the wall or the ropes for that matter -great physical attributes -mental toughness -trains harder than anyone besides hopkins imo -always adjusts well to any style -great mindset in the ring including ring savvy, ring generalship -a student who mastered his craft and the game of boxing -fast upperbody movement, great footwork, great defense, great timing, great body positioning, and overall, he uses his abilities well to win fights. -the complete package in boxing and the best boxer in the sport of professional boxing today, no doubt about it. when a fighter can crusie through a fight and still dominate, he's great. when a fighter can fight well going backwards and off of the ropes and dominate his opponents, he's great. when a fighter can throw half the punches his opponent throws but with high accuracy, he's great. when a fighter can lead with a right hand or a left hook because of how fast and accurate he is, this to me is a great fighter. when a fighter can win his fights with broken hands, and do it in dominating fashion, he is great. floyd has done all of these things, and is still undefeated. he has a heart of a lion, because for him to go through the shit he goes through from the press, media, experts, crtitics, hateful fans, and still do as well as he does, he has nothing to prove. he is am all time great, the greatest of his generation imo. This post I like :) It's accurate and true, and people who call you a nuthugger for this post should get a life.
