Malignaggi: Floyd Mayweather is best ever

Floyd himself said he cherry pick fights that's easy to win where it makes him look good. F10m0s: Floyd is the greatest. and you believed him? lol WOW, epic fail on your parents.

Benard Hopkins says Floyd is top 3 ATG, Paulie says he's the Greatest, BOB ARUM said Floyd was better than Ali............Some guy sitting behind his computer Says he knows better than ACTUAL BOXING CHAMPIONS AND A LEGENDARY BOXING PROMOTER. Wow who should i believe?:slap: Floyd himself said he cherry pick fights that's easy to win where it makes him look good. F10m0s: Floyd is the greatest.

The best ever after just beating a flat footed weight drained Canelo who thought he can try and stand still and counter Floyd? Mayweather is not the best ever, not even close, he hasn't fought guys in their prime, he ducked Pacquiao in his prime. please just stop. There are guys who are better than him, Floyd has skills yes but he is not the best ever, idiots buying into Floyds snake oil routine, got people believing his self hype and promotion. Also that style floyd uses will be easy for those old school guys, Paulie needs to learn about why Floyd is hard to fight today because NOBODY teaches that style he uses, so boxers today have no clue on how to fight that old school style, but that style was a dime a dozen in the 1940s. That shoulder roll style fighters saw that every day in the gyms and knew how to face it. The type of fighters who would give those old school fighters fits are the super aggressive, athletic unorthodox, fast guys. Please, maybe in 2009 some people thought this but this is not the reality anymore. Most EVERYONE now understands why the fight wasn't ever made and looking beyond the fact that Pac has NEVER submitted to blood testing, Bob Arum played a major role in why that fight never happened. This is common knowledge. Stop trying to re-write history. lol If you wanted to talk about ducking at least say Floyd ducked the #2 WW in Margartio to fight the #1 WW in Baldo because Bob Arum wouldn't pay him the amount of money he wanted. Let alone not allowing him to fight Hoya, Cotto, Hatton etc. In which he ended up doing once he left Bob while also making millions on top of millions more than Bob Arum would have ever paid him. and why is everyone mad at Pauli? He's just giving HIS professional opinion. I have a sneaking suspicion if he had said Manny Pac, most every fanboy in here crying like a b*tch would agree with him and say Pauli knows his boxing... It's just Pauli, it's not like SRL Hearns etc type fighter saying it.

Paulie is a haymond fighter now of course he will say that bull****

Mayweather is the best boxer I've ever seen but I hate the idea of anyone saying he is the best ever. I think he's a truly gifted as a boxer and would be successful in any era. In my mind the best boxer is not only successful but has faced adversity in the ring and still finds ways to win. I'm not sure if Mayweather could take the punishment Ali did against Foreman and pull out a victory. I'm not sure Mayweather could survive the onslaught Hagler did against Hearns, tough it out with blood pouring down his face, and still find a way to win. There are many examples of great boxers facing adversity and still winning. Mayweather has been so good at winning, no one has really tested him. If Mayweather ever wins a match, where he has to pick himself off the floor, fight through a broken jaw, or something to that effect, the idea of saying he is the best would be much easier for boxing fans to swallow. Without such a signature win, I can only I agree he's the best fighter in this era, but not sure he is the best ever.

Floyd has always faired well in fantasy fights, mainly with fantasy fights with his peers like if he was to fight Pac, or Margarito or Sergio Martinez, or against DLH or SSM if they were in their prime. That is now extended to guys like SRL, Duran, etc etc now. Problem is he doesn't fight, greats in their primes, only green fighters who are weight drained and style wise good match ups. When he fights pressure fighters, the refs protect him.

the guy is damn good no doubt about it ... as long as he stayed clear of tommy hearns he'd give anybody a run for their money

Floyd's the real deal,, no doubt but i cant have him #1 all-time,, he is top 20 for sure but guys that rank ahead of him srr ali srl armstrong louis greb langford i would have floyd ranked higher than hopkins jones argeullo zarate benitez hagler lennox dempsey ross evander mcclarin monzon foreman chavez he is right around duran and hearns and of course manny lol

Everybody saying floyd is the best ever is from the current era, while all the fighters from previous eras disagree. So basically none of it means anything. The only person that can reliably say whether or not Floyd is as good as guys like SRL,duran,blahblah is somebody who has fought both in their primes. I dont think theres anybody out there like that so all of this GOAT talk doesnt mean ****. Bhop is not from this era, hes from the last era but still going Arum is from many eras ago and said hes better than the other greats. Arum is full of lies but I happen to agree with him

Wow who should i believe?:slap: You should believe what YOU think. Unless you need a boxer or a promoter to tell you what to think.

Malignaggi trolling, that's all.

Dude. Paulie is trolling. If anyone knows trolling, its you.

If paulie had said manny or wlad all these guys would be:bukkake: this is old anyway guys, you haven't gotten over it yet. Dude. Paulie is trolling.

http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/boxing/post/_/id/4758/malignaggi-floyd-mayweather-is-best-ever Paul Malignaggi sat ringside Sunday morning in Las Vegas, watching Floyd Mayweather turn in another virtuoso performance, rendering Canelo Alvarez -- a top-grade boxer who is a favorite probably to beat everyone other than Mayweather at 154 pounds -- an ordinary athlete. Malignaggi helped call the action on the Showtime pay-per-view offering, with Mauro Ranallo and Al Bernstein, and left the building mightily impressed with "Money" and his skill set. How impressed, Paulie? "I think Floyd beats everyone in history, and anyone who doesn't realize that by now is stubborn, blind, stupid, or all three," he told NYFightblog. "He is the best ever." Yes, you read that right. The best ever, no one better, not Ali, Joe Louis, the Sugar Rays ... "Me and Floyd are not friends, I don't need to say this if I truly don't believe it," continued the 32-year-old Bensonhurst-bred welterweight, who held crowns at 140 and 147 pounds. "I'm saying it because it is simply the truth. I respect the guy but I don't know him well, I don't owe him any favors, so when I say he's the best ever it's because that's truly what I feel." And, I wondered, did he think Floyd was THE BEST all-time before doing what he did to Canelo, or did Mayweather's classic at the MGM convince him? "I leaned that way before the Canelo fight, but this kind of convinced me fully," said Malignaggi in closing. Readers, weigh in. Is Malignaggi right? Where do you rate Mayweather all-time? Is he above Sugar Ray Robinson, who exited the ring with a 175-19 record? Or is the jury still out on Floyd's status in the pantheon of the ultra-greats? Paulie, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray leonard, Muhammad Ali Joe Louis Sugar Ray Robinson would all disagree with you

He is on showtimes payroll. Nuff said. The best ever after just beating a flat footed weight drained Canelo who thought he can try and stand still and counter Floyd? Mayweather is not the best ever, not even close, he hasn't fought guys in their prime, he ducked Pacquiao in his prime. please just stop.

If paulie had said manny or wlad all these guys would be:bukkake: this is old anyway guys, you haven't gotten over it yet.

This is a legit argument. The issue most people have is his resume, not how he would fare head to head. Ya i understand that myself but we have to except that no one will duplicate SRR because this is a different time
