No one really whooped Hopkins except for Roy Jones Jr. 21 yrs. ago.
i thought the taylor fights were close. same with welsh god zaghe.
definitely not whoopins, doe.
The only thing Floyd Dominated was his wife's face after the beating he gave her. A man who dominated the sport? Let me think
Muhammed Ali
Iron Mike Tyson
Naseem Hamed
RJJ
George Foreman
And certain other fights were running the game in their prime years
Floyds just chatting sh1t out of his quacker n no one really cares. I'd go as far as saying 90% of people that watch Floyd fight only do so to see him get KTFO but with his careful selection that won't happen.
Imagine if Kobe Bryant could pick what teams he'd play against in the playoffs.
He'd have something like 15 or 16 rings by now.
If mandatory fights weren't a joke in Boxing, Floyd would've had to fight much tougher competition than what he's been choosing for the past 10 years or so of his career.
Sugar Ray Robinson did for 21 & went on a 91 fight win streak in the midst of his dominance.
That's a 91-0 record in an 8 year span. Why do in 18 what you could double in less than half the time?
Any more questions?
Great response!
Why Floyd Mayweather is not the best fighter pound for pound
by PAUL MERCKE on APRIL 15, 2014 · in BOXING
Professional BoxingNow that Manny Pacquiao has “officially” defeated Tim Bradley, talks come to life again about the Megamillion fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather. But first, we have to establish who’s number one.
According to pundits, Mayweather is the anointed one. In my books, he is NOT. Definitely NOT. Why?
When you define the word best in its purest form, it is the top of the heap, the cream of the crop. And in order to be on top, you should have defeated all your opponents that’s at least in the top 5. Conclusion, Floyd is a good fighter but not the best. When you keep on ducking opponents that can beat you, you cannot even be considered a ‘fighter’. Look at the UFC for instance; these guys are fighters in its purest form. They fight whoever is in their cards and lay it all on the line whoever they’re fighting with. How can you prove you’re the best when you haven’t been fighting with the best of the best. Now, nobody can argue that Pacquiao is one of the best. He has defeated all of the best fighters in the divisions he has been involved. He will not back down on any opponent and gives his all on every fight. Except for Floyd , who has time and again found every reason on the the book to chicken out . What can make him fight Pacquiao? If he is a ‘real’ fighter, he will accept even a 50/50 share of the purse to prove to us all boxing aficionados that he can ‘really’ fight. Unbeaten means nothing if you’re beating has beens and unproven boxers. I hope he gains enough willpower and enough mojo to see the big picture and be regarded as really a brave champion. Unbeaten means nothing if in the back of your mind, you did not fight against a champion of the caliber of Pacquiao. But to be realistic and truthful, Floyd and Pacquiao may never materialize because a chicken is always a chicken. Take your pick.
Pretty sure it's not as easy to duck/dodge/cherry pick in other sports, also team sports have a number of variables for why they cannot go on a long winning streak.
Australian Squash player Heather McKay didn't lose a single match from 1962 until she retired in 1981 and didn't duck all the best players along the way.
That's 452 straight wins.
aussie, aussie, aussie, I hate that chant btw, oi, oi, oi.
p4p it makes her better then mayweather lmao.
