Floyd Jr. is a great fighter. People are too quick to dismiss him as a coward and for not fighting the best available opponents especially at 140 and up.
Floyd Jr. is one of our era's great fighters unfortunately he is nowhere close to being an all-time great fighter. There are numerous great fighters of which Floyd is one but he is not an all-time great.
It takes more than a good fighter to beat Floyd. It would take a great fighter to beat him. Let's show our appreciation for Floyd's excellent skills and superb talent by naming all the great and all-time great fighters that would've beaten him in their primes and would've taken that 0 from his good but not great record.
ahhh....now i see why floyd wants to come back....the vids musta boosted his courage
wait 'til he sees the video of manny knocking out that camel with one punch.
he won't want none......
Where this happened to him
yeah let's hold his losses in his teens against him.
shit. even mayweather lost a few times in the ams. let's count that too.
=Left Hook Tua;4454799]bumped in honor of the great floyd mayweather jr. who retired without fighting fellow welterweights cotto and margarito but has found the courage to consider coming out of retirement to face a former flyweight.

I dont compare who they fight mate but their respective styles and style/smartwise Mayweather is smarter than anyone of them, You can bring pressure into the ring like Chavez does but when you face a smart fighter like Leonard or Mayweather then your pressure amounts to nothing.
Very good point about Chavez because he put a lot of pressure on a guy like Meldrick Taylor but he was taking combinations back from Meldrick. The difference though is Floyd is a much better defensive fighter than Meldrick so he would slip and counter Chavez with ease.
I think Duran and Pryor are different though. Especially Duran. He would put pressure but also could slip punches at the same time and make you miss while countering at the same time. The same with Pryor. Even though he got caught occassionally when he committed to his defense bobbing and weaving to get inside he could make you miss and counter at the same time. That's how he beat Hearns as a Amateur.
spanish chuck norris tko floyd1 at any weight. in fact, he could ko1 tua, and then drop the weight to fight floyd at junior welter in the same day, easy....
please be careful with your response tua, chuck norris is the only man alive that can kick your ass over the internet. he has been known to email his trademark roundhouse kick to internet foes with devastating results....
I think what u meant to say was "Floyd was a monster at 130 & 135" Floyd only had 3 fights at 140. Corley, Gatti, and Bruseles. How can u beat those 3, and be considered a monster at that weight?
Yeah that is what i meant kinda. He would be a killer at 140 too but he didnt fight there long.
Floyd at 135 and 140 was a monster. He would beat Arguello he had troube with boxers and Floyd is a master. I give him 50/50 vs duran he could have trouble finding Floyd. Oscar would due worse at 147, 140 then at 154 Floyd was above his best weight and still won. I think Pryor beats him and Mosely is 50/50. Floyd is the best of of our generation he will come back and win so more big fights but we can only guess what could have happened in these fantasy matchups. I would hope Floyd fights the Champion at 147 who ever that is next year. And maybe a fight with Pacman, wishful thinking we will see. Peace out

Amen bro....I thought I was the ONLY one who feels like Floyd beats all those Titans named.....except for Aaron Pryor maybe....I said maybe!
outcome would've been the same.
but why fight 140 guys like sharmba , zab and ricky during his 147 reign?
should've stayed at 140 then. maybe uncle roger was keeping him away from a certain russian/australian......... :)
HBO was....they felt like the guy you talkin' about was over the hill......Hatton proved them right!
So how do you guys think Floyd would do against Ray Mancini??
An entertaining fight, but Mayweather is on a different galaxy than Boom Boom.
Mancini would make it worth the money, like he always did. He would not go in a shell like others do, after being punished by Maywaether's counters (which were not fun stuff at 135) for a few rounds. In the process he would be taking a brutal beating.
Poor education is the result of stupidity.
Before you compare top tiers whether past or present you have to put in mind in this case...
Did gayweather fight the best?
140 - Kostya, Spafa - unquestioned elites during their time and those guys voiced their agreement to a fight with Gaywea... Gayweather then fought Gatti and a bunch of other lower ranked fighters.
147 - Mosley, Margarito, Cotto, Williams - Nuff said.
Skill, Speed, Power, etc all of those points are useless unless you have proven them.
I don't know about you kid but I don't consider PROVEN a resume which has full of Gatti's, Judah's, Baldo's, a shot DLH and a blown-up Hatton.
This kind of stupidity only happens to Gayweather fans.

Idiot.
Those guys fought EVERYBODY.
Gayweather ducked everybody,
Did your folks ever taught you talk is cheap?
I bet they didn't seeing as your all over gayweather's ass believing he can win against HOF elites when he ducked top elites during his time.
Lols!
This kind of utter stupidity only happens on Gayweather fans...
Like you.
I just think Mayweather is too fast and smart for those guys listed above and nothing that have seen from Arguello,Pryor or Tzysu says they can beat a fighter in the level of Mayweather.
I dont think anyone of those guy would be able to guy to Mayweather to be honest, Someone like Pryor would have been the closest guy at 140 but the problem is PBF is too smart for fighters like Duran,Tsyzu and even Pryor who lets his emotion overrule him in the ring.
So Kostya is an ATG for beating Judah and Mitchell and losing to Hatton now??
Tito is an ATG beating an Old Pernell and losing to Oscar and getting destroyed by Hopkins
Duran and Leonard would be the only fighter that would come close to beating Mayweater.
Maybe Pacman Morales JMM would have a chance against Mayweather, idiot
idiot? thanks. coming from one of the dumbest posters here i'll take it as a compliment.
it's a hate thread dumbass. i made this 2 weeks ago when there were 7-8 floyd hate threads on the front page. i got annoyed with how dumb they were so i told them i'll show them how to do a good floyd hate thread.
as far as atg. i consider someone atg if you can argue that a person was the best in his division (they don't have to be the best just that you can make an argument for it) OR if a guy wins multiple titles in multiple divisions.
what do you think i consider floyd then? i just don't say it because i don't like the guy and he has enough nuthuggers.
