Ever since Arturo Gatti was disemboweled in his fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., it's been exceedingly clear to boxing insiders that Pretty Boy Floyd is the world's greatest boxer. Not even the heavyweights want a piece of Floyd's action. It is one thing to bludgeon an opponent with well hammed fists, but you have to catch him to hit him. And, with the exception of a Ricky Hatton match in England, grappling is not allowed in the sport of boxing. Thus, it doesn't matter who you are. Even George Foreman in his prime would be ripped up by the Floyd buzzsaw and eventually knocked out. The fact is that nobody can trap the lightening in Floyd's bottle.
This of course leads to the ultimate question that has lingered around boxing for the last year or so: Who would win in a fight between the great Mayweather and Muhammad Ali? Well, the general consensus of opinion is that Floyd would win in the 10th by overwhelming an exhausted Ali with his superior physical reflexes and almost superhuman strength. Not even Ali would be stupid enough to tangle with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on the inside. Therefore, Ali would play an outside game, and a veritable dancing contest would evolve. But, that's exactly the kind of game that most suits the quicksilver feet of Mayweather. By the 10th it's over, unless Ali managed to land that one lucky punch. Nobody's ever been able to do that to Floyd, so why should we believe that a lesser light like Ali could luck out on one big swing for the fence?
Yes, it's clear that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the greatest fighter that ever lived. Ricky Hatton, taking this fight was your first mistake. Your second mistake will occur when you step into the ring...with the legend.
Let's face it, if Mayweather is as good as everybody is saying, then Lennox Lewis' must have retired so he wouldn't have to face the Pretty Boy. The timing of his departure was always suspicious to me.
It's good to know some of us see eye to eye on Mayweather's true abilities.
Cheers
Mayweather's true abilities? Being able to box effectively enough to be named best in the world right now by "The Bible of Boxing"?
That is so word.
Tossups? Kball are you stupid, floyd would massacare peter, you think the 100 pound weight difference would mean anything....................hell NO.
o wow i didnt read that second part.
i just read "kball r u stupid" and was enraged. lol
sry about that
A prime Foreman would knock Floyd into the cheap seats. Literally.......
Hmm...well, he would have to catch him first. I don't know, it's pretty tough to call. You're not a Foreman nuthugger are you?

i am a huge floyd fan, and it is obvious u r making a mockery, which is pretty funny, but i must say still that u r an idiot, and this was not funny. some of the other floyd dissin posts are at least comical, this is jus dumb as shit
Only Floyd can beat himself....
I wouldn't go so far as pitting Floyd against the heavy weights, especially since such fights are wishful thinking at best.
However, if Floyd maintains his drive and hunger to be the best, he has the potential to gradually move up in weight classes to a limit.
Ultimately, at this point in time, Floyd's the only one who can beat himself by losing the focus that got him as far as where he is today.
He has stated in the past that he doesn't want to end his career on a sad note. :boxing:
It puts all Wiley Hyena's other posts into context now.
Like, Jefferies no1 heavy all time and John.L.Sullivan in top ten heavies all time. Foreman ahead of Lennox Lewis when apparently Big George couldnt have beat Mayweather?
complete and utter munter !!
I admit I could have been a little naieve. An idiot Im not and i know what its like to be a fan of a particular fighter.we've had a whole lot of people stating premeture shit about Floyd mostly. your a BIG floyd fan!!! Im just gonna go out on a whim now and offer a gamble. Half of my points? Floyd V Ricky?????
I will take that bet half your points, how about 6k?
Are you suggesting that Floyd could beat Jones?
Who suggested that? Roy is a Lightheavy weight, Floyd is a Welter Weight. P4P, Floyd is the better fighter now of course. 5 years ago, it would have been a toss up. I addressed their respective resumes however, and not their talent/potential. Roy Jones has only beaten two allstar fighters in Hopkins and Toney. The others were B fighters at best and of course Tarver beat him in the first fight. :)
Floyd's resume is better than Jones'.. Who has Jones beaten besides an out of shape James Toney and inexperienced Bernard Hopkins?
Are you suggesting that Floyd could beat Jones?
To me he is not even at the same stage that Roy Jones was Before he fought Montel Griffin!!!!!!!!

No. You still missed my point. I'm NOT a Floyd fan at all. lol I hope Hatton beats his jock off. Get it now? And, I wasn't calling you an idiot, either.
The post is sarcasm. Pure sarcasm. You'd have to be an idiot to seriously believe what I wrote.
