What are your views on Mayweather as a boxer?

MANGLER16y ago

Do you think he is overated and has a padded a record? Why hasn't he took on a real welterweight such as Mosley/Berto/Cotto/Bradley? Is is true that Floyd is avoiding these fighters? What's your take on it for what it's worth? Let's hear it, im interested to know what you think of Floyd... Mr boat buyer is the truth in the ring. His record ain't padded, it's just lackin at WW and JWW, tho you can't blame him for JWW. Cotto and Hatton weren't ready. He don't want it wit SSM no more. Berto woulda been a good tuneup for his comeback fight. He don't want it wit Cotto no more. Bradley fights at JWW. Mr boat buyer don't fear the top WW's, he just don't wanna fight em. I fell off as a fan of Mr boat buyer cuz when it was time to put up or shut up he wouldn't do either. I'd root for him again in a heartbeat if he fought the top 2 WW's. Nobody can justify criticizin him anymore if he takes those fights.

He a great fighter skill wise. Sadly his lack of balls will destroy most of his legacy. he had the potential to be one of the best fighters ever imo but avoiding most of the welterweights out of a stacked division will hurt him.

I stopped reading when you called Bradley a welterweight. Me too. I also stopped reading when he mentioned Berto and Bradley in the same breath and class as Cotto and Mosely.
