Floyd you have a gift. I truly believe that Floyd puts a boxing clinic on James Kirkland no matter how monster he is. I truly believe that Floyd puts Maidana back to a C level fighter once he's in there with the master.
The only fighter that I know he can't school is Manny Pacquiao. They are both truly gifted fighters. They are in a level of boxing that's beyond every fighter today. They are truly legendary of the sport of boxing.
I honestly love Floyd. But Floyd has to remember that respect is what you get when you do respectful things. Fighting skinny boy no chin Amir Khan is a very disrespectful thing to do for the sport of boxing. Fighting and beating either Marcos Maidana or Manny Pacquiao or James Kirkland to me puts you in the Muhammad Ali level or far beyond.
I've always believe in you Floyd. You have a gift. Show the world that you are The Best Ever. Fight the fights that will cement your legacy as the greatest fighter that ever live. Put a boxing clinic on Sergio Martinez. End the GGG hype. Put the Pacquiao debate to an end. I know you can do it Floyd. Don't doubt yourself.

I thought TBE stood for the buttplug expert
Not another one... :pat::pat:

One of the best skilled but I feel we could have seen something even more special. If Floyd fought tough opponents he would be forced to fight and we may see some of the best displays ever seen. Floyd's reluctant to fight live opponents I think will unfortunately make us miss his greatness.
Here we go again.
How soon you guys forget, huh?
You suddenly forget that before Floyd fights whomever, the comments are he's: "gonna knock him out!"... "Gonna take his "O"... Gonna retire him for good... " Yada, yada, blah, blah, smirk, smirk.
AFTER Floyd comes back from almost 2 years of inactivity, beats them, and snatches their title belts easily, everyone who lost the bet be like:
So and so "...was a cherry pick... cheated ... weight drained ... bleh, bleh... boo hoo..."
That's why Floyd calls his own shots and kills it at the box office and remains the highest paid boxer on the planet.
Time to get with the program.

I truly hope Floyd fights everyone deemed a risk. Because he has to make up ground for taking years and years off, and going AWOL and when fighting only fighting once every 18months if his fans were lucky.
Floyd has fooled the world. When he was a no name he was happy to fight bums regularly. But when he became a somebody in boxing, someone important he went AWOL.
When you become a name you have to fight better fighters you see, its expected and Floyd cant handle that as he isn't as good as believed. He can only fight once in a while with superb preparation.
"I'm a big Floyd fan" and literally his entire post history is hating on Floyd in one way or another. :lol1:
Yea, because Floyd is known for taking the hardest challenges
Floyd doesn't fight for you or me or even his own legacy...he fights strictly for the dollars....the easiest fight for the most money is the path he will always choose unfortunately.
He fights for the "0". We know this because he's avoided bigger pay days before.
I've been watching boxing since the 80s. There are very few fights that didn't get made that should have. Floyd has just as many in his career than the entire boxing world does in three decades. He brings the criticism upon himself with claims of being the best ever while refusing to fight the best possible opposition.
I've been watching the sport since the 70s, not that it matters but I worked in the sport for 30 years. I've seen first hand how fearful Bowe was of Lewis, the biggest fight of the 90s outside of Tyson/Holyfield never got made. I saw Leonard not fight Pryor and Hagler sitting comfortably in the middleweight division when there were plenty of calls for him to move up to light heavy. He flat out refused to do so.
None of this is being said to dispute the legacy of other fighters or to put them on the same level as Mayweather. What Mayweather has done is repeatedly miss out on some of the best fights out there, I recognise that but to hate him the way many do here is not to fully recognise just what he HAS done. He gave Mosley an absolute hiding in their fight, a Mosley fresh off beating Margarito. Yes it wasn't a prime Mosley but was anyone expecting such a one sided contest? He has beaten tough men such as Castillo, Hernandez and Corrales, physically damaging some of them in the process.
Mayweather isn't the greatest but he doesn't always deserved to be ridiculed as he so often is.
Sure Floyd is a great boxer. Nobody is questioning his skills
BUT he has constantly avoided the best opposition or has fought the fights that would've cemented his legacy further BUT once again he has fought those fights after they truly meant anything.
Cotto and Mosley for example. :nono:

:luvbed:
He's alright... (just trolling)
I still think if Floyd beats Manny then beats Sergio for the middleweight crown after he wrecks Cotto then he will be considered an ATG. Not even close to the best ever but definitely by far this generations greatest and maybe a top 10 ATG...skills wise there's no doubt but he missed out on way to many fights against guys in their primes to give him the nod right now. IMO of course..
Very good post

I believe Mayweather is coming under serious attack here. He is the most gifted defensive fighter of his generation and has a list of names he has beaten that many would die for. Yes, many of those fights may have an asterix but so do many other fighters. I understand he isn't everyone's cup of tea and I certainly would not rank him as the best of his generation but he is a great fighter. We can't, as fans, always have everything. It's important to fight the best and Mayweather is limited in that regard but so was Tyson and Vitali...and Roy Jones and Vitali Klitschko and the list can go on.
Maybe it is the young Mayweather's claims that he is the best that get so many riled up, I don't know but I often feel he is treated quite harshly.

I agree. Taking this route you cannot be the greatest ever.
He is treated harshly simply because he is avoiding the fight we all want to see. He's got fans that are so desperate to join the money team that they come out in every forum willing to get on their knees and get busy.
He's not fighting Manny Pacquiao because of Bob Arum. Hmmm...okk after all the drug testing demands he will pull out the Bob Arum excuse. Okk I can let that slide.
But then you hear him talking about how Pacquiao is 1-2 in his last fight so he won't fight but then picks a skinny guy name Amir Khan who has no ppv record, no belt, no chin, no nothing and then call himself TBE.
I truly believe he needs to retire if he's not fighting the best fights out there.
Roy Jones Jr., Vitali Klitchko and everyone else fought every best fighter that they could.
I understand what you are saying and I am a life long advocate of the "best fighting the best", which is rare in the modern age of boxing. I, like many fans my age, probably still dream of the days of Ali and Leonard, that age will probably never come again.
Having said that, neither Jones nor Vitali fought all the best available opponents, it is established knowledge in boxing. In fact, in Roy's heyday, when I will still covering the sport professionally, one of the major talking points was why had he not fought fighter A or fighter B and what would happen when he did.
