I have watched him for a long time, his ability is ridiculous, even as he has slowed down, his ability to adjust has improved. I also remember the guy who wasn't as loud as he is today. He has always been confident, but i think the DLH fight when he decided to play the villian role....is what most newer boxing fans have witnessed. He already knew he had fans, his brilliance is making the ones who werent hate him so much. He basically made himself into one of Americas teams, u either love him or hate him, either way u watch
of this GENERATION?!?...the man can rumble...no doubt about that....and yea, IMO he's the most skilled in the game and has been for years.....BUT, there's a man named Roy Jones Jr....dude is the BEST of his generation...then there's aman named Bernard Hopkins who fits well into the argument....and that lil Pinoy God is the argument as well.....so ARGUABLY Floyd can be called this GENERARATION'S best imo.....there's a good case for at least 4 or 5 fighters imo
Fair enough but I meant in terms of skill.
He's the best fighter of this generation.

Its okay to call JCCjr garbage but not Floyd huh ? lol you just made yourself look not to good! And those fighters you listed....lol of course hes gonna look good fighting them... they're tomato cans b-c class fighters. and old past prime...My sister would look good fighting them! :nana:really you shouldnt post on this subject...
JCC, Pac, even Floyd fought allot of bums under Arum...Floyd became his own boss and cherrypicked better opponents than Pac..but the thing is, Arum always knew Floyd was unbeatable either way, this is why Floyd has more of a legitamate legacy, cuz Arum still had Floyd fight allot of real fighters....with Pac, and JCC, Arum knows that they only look good against certain styles....this is why he didnt fight mark johnson, or tim austyn....avoided julio diaz and joan guzmen...avoided 40 yr old Mosley that Floyd cherrypicked, Avoided Berto and claimed he was a small ppv draw, opting to fight Margarita and Oldsley...Avoided Marquez, cherrypicked him at 40, still lost, and is now re-avoiding him all over again....I like Pac I just want him to realize his greatness and fight someone like Berto, Floyd, Ortiz maybe....If Pac would have did Mosley and Marquez3, like he did Margarito and Cotto, it would be a great arguement to say he's one of the best...but struggling against those cherries, set him back so I dunno about him being one of the greatest...it takes time, and now he has to start all over again beginning with Bradley who is too small and will get KO'd in 3 rounds:(
I like his intelligence and skill. I also admire his work ethic.
He acknowledges that GOD is the one who gave him the ability that he has and he uses it, and is successful with it.
When Floyd gets in the ring with what people consider to be elite fighters he makes it look like they can't fight. After that, people don't think that they are elite anymore. In the VAST majority of his fights, he completely shut out all of his opponents.
Well said.
Im a fan because his style is unique. He's also a hard worker which makes me like him even more. Hate him or love him , he will be missed when he's gone from the boxing game.
PAC-BOY and Bombs have got to be the same person. I would've put he/she on ignore but he/she has been making me laugh throughout this thread.
I was actually thinking this. While reading this thread it seemed like it was just 1 person with two account.
What He does in his personal life is his business. Bottom line is that I'm a boxing fan and I love to see the guy dominating his opponents with pure skill.
I like Mayweather because he's the boss in the ring. I have watched his fights again and again and seen him do stuff which other boxers don't. Like someone says earlier on in the thread, he is the blueprint for young fighters. After the fight you don't see him battered or bruised much because he barely gets hit.
Boxing is an art and I consider Floyd to be an artist who is right on top of his game.
Floyd is a dumb **** outside the ring, but a pure technician in the ring. The way he adapts to different styles is a beauty. I still wish he challenged himself alot more several years back and not play the retirement game with us. Overall, I have no problem with him inside the ring, outside, like I said before..he is a dumb **** and if some ppl want to hate him for that, then thats on them!
DOnt know how Pacquiao made it into this topic but I Love watching Pacquiao too. No problems here with the Pacman.
I dont know how some ppl feel they need to take a side and bash the other. Both are great fighters and the best in this era.

oh I see, you go for 'shock' posts..
Yea chavez is garbage, he can't fight from the outside, his foot work is terrible, he does fight decent on the inside despite his height and is a solid body puncher. But he does have heart.
None of the guys mentioned we're shot.. If you wanna label Mosley past it, Pacquiao fought Mosley after he got his ass whooped by floyd and after a draw against Sergio Mora.
Your idol makes a living off of fighting has beens
Why can't we all agree we like different fighters. We like different styles of boxing. I like mayweather style. I don't really like pac style. Is there a problem?
Pac Boy is a BOSS and his own boss. And he is showing it in this thread. He is owning 4 people at the same time by himself with facts. lol damn. :lol1: You should be embarassed and the people who are trying to gang up on a beast.
Pacboy my respect to you and I tip my hat to you, smart, composed and killer. They can't mess with the posse. Too strong. :beerchug:

oh man... Vinny. How could i not bring him up! Hell yeah another fighter that fought with the heart of a warrior. You would never get that from JCCjr Joe Calzaghe Floyd type. They care more about a unblemished record or losing.
The more you post, the more you show your lack of boxing.
This thread isn't about any of those guys, obviously you don't like Floyd, so why come to this thread? To troll????
Hell, you don't have to like the guy but you can't deny his skill level and dedication and hard work ethic, but you probably wouldn't know about that because your world revolves around Pacquiao 24/7.
Chavez Jr is garbage, but he does have heart. He certainly inherited that from his father.
You probably wouldn't know because you don't watch Mayweather fights, but he has plenty of heart too. Check his fights against Genaro Hernandez, Demarcus Corley, Jesus Chavez, Phillip N'Dou, Mosley, etc.
The guy has fought with numerous injuries, and when he has been buzzed he always responded, the guy can flat out fight.
Thats all you can do...thats correct . beccause you sure cant argue facts with me...all you have is a dream!
Do you know pac personally? Seriously take a break Mayweather didn't do anything 2 you nor is pac paying you.
What can't he do in the ring? He's extremely versatile, very relaxed in the ring, most entertaining fighter to watch right now. Used to feel the same way about Hopkins but now he's a lot older.
