But his wins aren't impressive imo
JMM was coming up in weight like 2 divisions
Mosley was past his prime
Oscar was past his prime
Victor Ortiz fight looked rigged
Saul Alvarez is a protected prospect
Ricky Hatton didnt have impressive wins at welterweight
Zab Judah was coming off a loss to baldomir
And...ANOTHER Mayweather hate thread, as if there aren't enough of those flooding the forum. *YAWN*
He's mad about that Kevin Iole article saying why Floyd is fighter of the year. You dont have to be a Floyd fan to admit that Floyd did some lifechanging things in his last fight. That performance against Nelo was enough to make allot of people look at the sport itself differently. 2mil people paid to witness it and half of them are casuals. I bet they didnt even know that boxing could possibly be executed the way Floyd showed in his fight.
Yeah he gets zero props for that...
He dominated him so bad that it left the impression that no matter WHAT weight, Floyd's skillset was just far too much. How is Floyd able to make EVERY single fighter he faces, look foolish and clumsey the way he made JMM look? All of them have completely different styles and he changes his style in order to dominate them without being grazed. Floyd didnt really use his size advantage to bully JMM. He didnt even walk him down he stayed on the outside and humiliated the guy. I think Floyd is the most skilled fighter in the history of the sport. I do think he ducked some guys, but I have no problem with his last several opponents. Cotto was the only one who was washed up and damaged. The other ones were a prime fighters with a variety of styles. Some tall, big, buff, strong, fast, volume punchers. Floyd been doing some legendary stuff and aging backwards!
So taking a "vacation" when the division is the most talented in the world, when you're at the top of your game is an acceptable excuse to ducking the best now?
Have some respect man.
Where did I say that?
I'm very critical of Mayweather's "Vacation" in 2008 and always have been.
Do you agree that Floyd didn't fight against the top welters around 07-08?
He didn't fight in 08 and the only WW he fought in 07 was Hatton which I thought was a good win but to answer your question yeah I agree.
You can do the same thing to most people's resume.
The fact is every fighter you named there was one of the Top 5 ranked fighters in the division being fought in and some of them Top 10 P4P.
The only one that wasn't was Marquez, but was #2 P4P.
