Floyd Mayweather - Give credit where credit is due

people fail to remember floyd was a ****ing animal at 130lbs 135lbs but i agree he needs to step it up abit now get the names on his resume mosley pacman berto williams or whateva variation people think to seal his legacy.

Floyd is without a doubt the best boxer we have seen since sugar ray leonard. He has fought the best and beat them all. Pacquiaos record consists of big names at the end of their carrers....morales, hatton, de la hoya and damaged goods cotto. Its sad some people cant see the light....if floyd was killed tomorrow, he would get the respect he deserves, how sad is that? On skills alone, he the greatest we have ever seen!

It might not be arguable whether Floyd is the best boxer of this generation if he had fought just a few of the list of fighters he never got in the ring with. His most impressive win was in 2001, how is that not a problem? 135 and below: Floyd's resume can't be complained about. 140 and above: Massive holes, way too many what if opponents.

the media has downplayed floyd's career ever since he reached the pinnacle of fame. This is arguably the best boxer of our era, maybe even the most-talented boxer ever. Mayweather started his career at super-featherweight. He possessed the aura of special fighters. He was a hungry fighter who displayed his talents in many great bouts. He cleaned division after division. People constantly say he ducks opponents. There isn't a single fact that proves he ever ducked a fighter. People say antonio margarito but put yourself in floyd's shoes. He has chased oscar for quite some time and when the opportunity presented himself why would he pass that up--add in the fact that he makes much more money fighting oscar and it's ridiculous to bash his decision. Others say mosley. After floyd dismantled henry bruseles, he called out mosley and many other top fighters but mosley hid with a "toothache". And now some people are saying he's scared to fight manny, which is probably only the dumb pac fans. Any boxing fan knows about the 14-day cut-off day that was offered so let's not look into that too much. Another criticism that floyd often receives is that he fights smaller opponents. So he fought ricky hatton, who doesn't belong in welterweight but why is it wrong for a fighter to try to move up in weight. He fights juan manuel marquez, which is another smaller opponent and now his whole opposition is generalized on this one fight. Here are some of the weights on fight night. Floyd mayweather jr – 148 sharmba mitchell – 155 floyd mayweather jr – 146 zab judah – 150 floyd mayweather jr – 149 carlos baldomir – 162 floyd mayweather jr – 139 arturo gatti – 140 floyd mayweather jr – 138 ½ jose luis castillo – 147 ½ floyd mayweather jr – 138 jose luis castillo – 147 floyd mayweather jr – 136 ½ diego corrales – 146 floyd mayweather jr – 146 oscar de la hoya – 154 floyd mayweather jr – 142 henry bruseles – 150 floyd mayweather jr – 140 philip n’dou - 147 floyd mayweather jr – 145 demarcus corley – 144 floyd mayweather jr – 137 ½ jesus chavez – 136 floyd mayweather jr – 139 ½ gregorio vargas - 141 time and time again, his career has been downplayed. The media always discredits his resume. I agree that he hasn't had a good opposition in welterweight but why does this make us all forget about his times in the lower weights. Specifically, the lightweight division. Diego corrales, jose luis castillo, arturo gatti, phillip n'dou, zab judah and oscar de la hoya are all notable wins. Give credit where credit is due. good thread my bruver...real talk..give him some credit..at least when he beats mosley he should get some love..

Floyd would never get his credit for anything....that's sad

Give credit where credit is due. fool yourself.

Same as Calzaghe. Not enough reason to be considered ATG. Pacquiao will eat him alive lol.QUOTE] He has to sign to fight him first.....and we all know that aint gonna happen!!!!

Didn't De La Hoya weighed in at 160 on fight night? He weighed 154 for the weigh in but he re-hydrated on fight night I remember, but I forgot how much. And Mayweather weighed in at 150 on fight night. Official weigh in Floyd = 150 Oscar = 154 Fight night Floyd = 149 Oscar = 158

Didn't De La Hoya weighed in at 160 on fight night? He weighed 154 for the weigh in but he re-hydrated on fight night I remember, but I forgot how much. And Mayweather weighed in at 150 on fight night. They didn't show the on night weights. It's anyone's guess.
