Floyd has to be the first #1pfp fighter who didnt take on the top comp while in his prime. Think about his last 4 opponents:
Oscar- Boxing legend, but well past his prime when Floyd faced him. Wasnt even an active fighter at the time.
Baldo- One hit wonder journeyman with 9 losses. Maybe the weakest WW title holder in the history of the sport.
Judah- A guy who has all the talent in the world, but doesnt have the mental focus to finish the big fights. Very unpredictable, and doesnt always come in the ring prepared.
Gatti- Exactly what Floyd called him. A C-class fighter who gained his respect from his wars with Ward.
......I wont even get into the 3-4 bums that Floyd faced before these guys.
He now drops the 154 title/belt to retain the 147lb linear titles, but doesnt want to face the #1 contender....Mosley, or any other 147lb'er for that matter. Now does this sound like a real champ?
the answer to your question is YES....Floyd is a true champion...period...he is undefeated, only had 1 questionable decision which he totally avenged in the rematch....get over it haters...you don't like Floyd we understand...but do not need to read countless threads about it...
floyd hasnt been a champion since 135. after that, he'd win a title, and move up a weight class to get another title, move up, get another title.
how are you a champion when you dont defend ur title?
you always do.......you love mayweather, you probably got mayweather underwear gear and shit
I wouldn't pick Mayweather to beat certain fighters of the 80's. We don't have any Tommy Hearns or Hagler's now. I don't care what u think since you think Oscar won May 5th. You must be half blind or you were drunk.
Ey Speed Kills.......Very well said..
thank you. but i'm waitin for someone to say that i'm a fanboy and lack boxing knowledge. haters points of views are correct, but people that like floyd's opinions are not logical, but yet the fans are the ones who have problems..... yea....:ugh: :ugh:
Damn I'm so sick of seeing these unoriginal ass threads!! Floyd was the champ at 130, 35, 47 and 54 with out a doubt! This cannot be disputed, and he is fighting the lineal champ at 140 is November, wtf?! Ya'll act just like bitches, get a life..
You don't know if Floyd knew that Shane was gonna take the rest of the year off. If Shane didn't want the fight in November, he missed his chance. He barely was touched in the second Vargas fight. Who is a better fighter at 154 than Oscar? Floyd had been wanting to fight DLH. If Shane wanted to fight Floyd he would have took the deal in November but his tooth was hurting.
yea.... shane is the man, and he'll fight the man, but only after going to the dentist. shane would be a tough fight for floyd 5-6 years ago, still losing, but a tough fight nonetheless. y r idiots even talkin bout margarito still? he's no one and he fought no one and paul williams will make him look like no one on saturday night. these hater guys here want floyd to fight every single named fighter from 130-154 in the span of a year or some shit or else he's not a real champ. he only beat EVERYONE they put in front of them. and its comical how everyone floyd was fighting all the cynics always said he was gonna lose, and when floyd DOMINATED them, out came the excuses. oh he was past his prime, he was dehydrated, he was robbed, blah blah. out of his 38 wins no one has said good fight because they're wastin their time findin a new name to choose to say they'll stomp on floyd and floyd is duckin them. floyd fought the linear champ in baldomir instead of fighting margarito, who the average joe on the street never heard of, and floyd's a chump? he wanted 5 division belts and he's a chump because he didnt fight some guys? should he have fought more top guys? yes? is he not a true champion cuz he wanted to fight the bigger names (which everyone wanted)? NOOOOOO!!!
floyd is a true champion. if u think he cant fight cuz he hits and doesnt get hit (the essential of the game), and u want violence, go fuckin watch UFC and leave true boxing to true boxing fans. he aint gonna fight every single fighter in every weight class, he aint young forever, so he does what a p4p champ does, move up in weight, and WIN. talk all u want, say that floyd fans are blind, say whatever u want. anyone who steps or stepped into the ring with him was beaten and/or embarassed. did DLH beat him? NOPE. did castillo beat him? NOPE. will hatton beat him? HHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA..... that means NOPE. maybe after floyd beats hatton he should start back at 130 and move on up to 168 and beat every top 10 guy in those clases, would that change ur minds on him? what the fuck u want from the man he's a champ he beat everyone they put in front of him, and his skill is unparalleled. i'll be waiting patiently for ur disses.....
That's becuz everyone would consider it boring. Spinks would do the same as he did against Taylor. Floyd lands more than Spinks. Floyd is far better than Spinks.
hell no.. there was a big size diff and power.. spinks wouldnt fight floyd the same way..
What? Shane clearly said it during the post-fight interview with L.Merchant. Larry asked him if he was considering a fight with Floyd later in the year, and Shane said that he already had plans for him and his family to go on Vacation. Get yo facts straight!
Well that was his chance. He didn't want the fight then keep Floyd's name out your mouth. I see he had time to fight Collazo in February.

and the fact that floyd is THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD! is what generates all the hate. Regardless of what is said about floyd mayweather jr. he is the best fighter of this decade.
I agree with you on that but what I don't like is that he claims hes the best of all time. I really don't think so.
floyd wouldnt fight spinks anyways..
