Gone are the days of arguing who's The man of this era of boxing. Mayweather is the last man standing. He has always been the best. Only a few delusional pac fans thought different.
Now Floyd has ducked the guy he just fought. Brilliant!
He's most likely referring to the Cotto of 2008,not the obviously shopworn version he fought four years later
Floyd has shown he is a league above all the other greats in his generation; De La Hoya, Mosley, Pacquiao, Marquez, Roy, and Hopkins. The guy is truly a boxing virtuoso and we may never see a talent like that in our lifetimes, appreciate him people!
It's hard to appreciate a fighter who has 6 fights in 5 years.

He's a chump!! Fights every blue moon and picks fights he knows 100% he wins. Got no respect for that.
Didn't know Floyd was a psychic, and could pick his fights like that, i always just thought he was more skilled then everyone else... oh ya he is thus he is the P4P king with out a doubt!!!
Floyd the so called coward beat Marquez who knocked Pacquiao out!
Are all flowmos this dumb and predictable?
Floyd be always be remembered as a duck. I've been watching this sport for 15 years now and everyone whos been along for the ride for these 15 years also recognize Floyd for ducking the top challenges opting for a easy way out to keep his "0" intact. You do the math.
Also inside those 15 years Ive never seen such a pathetic low life fan base as the flowmos, not even a grain of class, just like their coward idol.
Yea, he sits alone by not fighting Pacman.
Dude is a coward, I have more respect for people like Marquez who have the balls despite having a L to their name.
Great ATG fighters have never ducked or dodged anyone, Floyd build his name on ducking.
Give me a 5loss fighter over a cherrypicker who fights once every 3 years anyday
He could have been the one to beat Manny, if he had, his all time great status would be very different from where it will be now. Yeah, he's the best of his era but he permanently screwed up his all time rankings.
An inactive boxer don't deserve that slot. Inactivity is tantamount to ducking, avoiding fights, taking less risks, fear of losing, protecting zero, you name it. Don't even know why people are duped into awarding that slot. Even Mayweather would wonder why.
Mayweather will go down as the guy who fights lacked drama. Not one fight on Mayweather's resume is legendary.
But to Mayweather's credit his skill level is so great...... he takes the drama out of the fight by making it look easy.
Pacquiao has been in some legendary battles with morales,marquez,
Floyd is the best technical boxer of his generation. Whether that is boring or non-crowd pleasing is irrelevant, people still buy his fights. Yesterday proved nothing, Manny was the one who changed his approach and got nailed for it. He wanted a decisive knockout and unfortunately was too aggresive. Andre Ward for me at present is P4P no1 but only becuase he has fought the best in his division and won convincingly. I think Floyd is #2 and Marquez is #3 with manny being #4. I think yesterday proved that boxing isnt all about Floyd and Manny. This whole Floyd vs Manny thing has left fighters like ward,marquez and martinez out of the spotlight, whereas Marquez proved last night he is up there with the best. Still think that if Marquez hadnt landed that shot then Pac would have stopped him in the next 2 rounds. Marquez was blowing in round 5 let alone in the later rounds.
He's way better than to be ranked with Calzaghe and Ottke but the rest of the post is spot-on. Last night was the defining fight of this era - and Floyd was probably somewhere finalising a fight with Robert Guerrero.
How was last night the defining fight of this era?
