I can't stand when Mayweather and other people talk about Mayweather's record as if its never been done before. Rocky Marciano went 49-0 and Joe Calzhage went 46-0...they have even more wins than Floyd. If you use Floyd's own criteria for why he is great...he simply is not the best...it's been done before dude.
Joke Slapzaghe is a straight bum.
Posts like this are amusing. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Unified champ, #3 P4P, #3 Figther of the decade (WBAA), undefeated, 20+ title defenses, and the list goes on and on.
Yeah, he's definately a bum. Every fighter except for Pac and Floyd (who are decent, at best) during the last decade are useless bums.
that's your opinion. people who's job it is to critique fighter's legacy has placed manny as the most most accomplished fighter in the past ten years..
And those same people hate floyd mayweather's guts. Any writer that has bragged and said that mayweather would get beat by such and such but when he wins they make up excuses as to why he won, should not be considered credible writers anymore. 80% of the writers would be gone especially after the hatton, judah, gatti, and the mosley fight.
Genaro Hernandez
Arturo Gatti
Sharmba Mitchell
Oscar De La Hoya
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley
all say "hi".
You do know that the bold were all champions when he beat them right? Three had the wbc belts.
if its so easy why couldnt pac do it? Oh that's right because he's not on floyd's level.
that's your opinion. people who's job it is to critique fighter's legacy has placed manny as the most most accomplished fighter in the past ten years..
he only looks good because he fights over the hill fighters(gatti,mosley,oscar) bloated ones (,jmm,baldomir) or dehydrated fighters( corralles)
really i just destroyed mayweather's resume LMAO 2 easy
what you've destroyed is your credibility. baldomir bloated? lol
if genaro hernadez was past his prime then so was cotto and hatton.
castillo was the best lightweight at that time who the hell should he have fought duran?
You do realize that Floyd was Genaros last fight in his career right?
After 14 years, you're going to sit there with a straight face and say Genaro Hernandez, just simply pulled a Jim Brown and Barry Sanders and retired in his prime?
Nas is a great MC, but you're just plain dumb at this point. You should change your user name. Illmatic is a classic, and you're not even above a bum fighter.
Wasn't those 4 knockouts you speak of due to cuts? So it's not like Castillo was gettin crushed. The man had a good chin.
the first time castillo went to the canvas was against hatton when he was well past his prime and that was from a body shot.
By Floyd's definition all of these fighters are greater than Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Manny Pacquiao, and Roberto Duran:
1. Jimmy Barry 58 - 0
2. Ricardo Lopez 51 - 0 - 1
3. Rocky Marciano 49 - 0
4. Edson Pedro Nascimento 47 - 0
5. Joe Calzhage 46-0
6. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 41-0
7. Floyd Mayweather Jr. 41-0
8. Sven Ottke 34 - 0
9. Jack McAuliffe 34 - 0
10. Michael Loewe 28 - 0
11. Edwin Valero 28-0
12. Laszlo Papp 27 - 0
13. Terry Marsh 26 - 0
14. Pichit Sitbangprachan 24 - 0
15. Scott Daley 24 - 0
16. George Kandelaki - 24 - 0
17. Jemal Hinton 22 - 0
18. Mzukisi Skweyiya 21 - 0
19. Ike Ibeabuchi 20 - 0
20. Kirk Daley 19 - 0
Duran, Ali, Leonard, Pacquiao, and Robinson have lost. Therefore, the guys on this list are the greatest of all time.
Julio Caesar Chavez was 89-0 before he lost, Marty Jacubowski was 94-1 before he lost his second fight, having been 37-0, Sugar Ray Robinson was also around 40-0 then 132-1.
These 3 fighters all have star-studded records, unlike Mayweather.
cotto and hatton were past prime after losing once yet castillo who was knocked out 4 times before he fought floyd was prime and yet floyd couldn't even beat him legit. got it.
Wasn't those 4 knockouts you speak of due to cuts? So it's not like Castillo was gettin crushed. The man had a good chin.
41-0 has been done many times before. However, out of all the fighters who have stayed undefeated that long, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has fought the best competition.
And so they did, particluarly Marciano. There wasn't a single boxer of any note that he fought who wasn't years past his best. So Marciano's fame, at least, is heavily marred.
Larry Holmes got to 48-0 before losing 2 very debateable decisions to Michael Spinks.
i don't rate marciano that highly compared to the atg at heavy.
that said , before he beat joe walcott , jersey joe had just beat ezzard charles twice.
before ezzard charles lost to marciano , he had just koed bob satterfield.
moore was the light heavyweight champion when he fought marciano and had only lost once in 7 years. (a loss that he avenged before his fight with marciano)
they were all past it and older but they were still top fighters.
kinda like how mosley and delahoya wins were for mayweather.
this alone makes roy the best fighter ever to have lived in my eyes...the people he fought were also hot shit at the time like V.Hill and Toney.....and yet there is so few that would agree:twak:
Roy Jones and Manny Pacquiao have a case for being the best by being the Fighter Of The Decade, at least that's a start. Floyd can't even win the Fighter Of The Decade and he calls himself the greatest.
You realise that both Marciano and Calzaghe are criticised for fighting fighters when they were on the slide?

Because Marciano and Calzaghe got those undefeated records facing the same level of opposition Floyd did, right?
ezzard charles , archie moore , joe walcott , joe louis......
shane mosley , oscar delahoya , jose luis castillo , diego corrales , ricky hatton......
Morales I , no.
Cotto, no
Hatton, no
DLH, well past it. But even then, he was the heavy favorite going in.
Try again.
im not even going to argue morales.
hatton yes very similar to genaro hasn't fought once since getting knocked out an he doesn't even have cancer.
if cotto doesn't win tonight the last solid win he has had was against shane mosley.
dlh well past it simple no excuses.
so does
morales
the dead version of oscar dela hoya
cotto
ricky hatton
Morales I , no.
Cotto, no
Hatton, no
DLH, well past it. But even then, he was the heavy favorite going in.
