40 years from now, what floyd jr fights would you recommend to your grandchildren?

Mayweather-Corrales Mayeather-Jesus Chavez Mayweather-Ndou Maywaether-Gatti Mayweather-Canelo Mayweather-Manfredy Mayweather-Hatton

Thats terrible to let your grands watch that coward. I would only make them if they were being punished or something. Like for burning down the house or something! After a thousands reruns of Pacquiao's career, the question of how to beat Marquez decisively will pop up. It's at that time you will have to show them footage of Mayweather putting on a lecture for the world to see.

for boxing clinics.....Baldomir, Marquez, Canelo Wars or exciting......AUgustus, Jesus Chavez, Hatton, beat down.....Gatti, Corrales, Genaro Hernandez

You can count on one hand the boxing fans who actually give a damn about boxing matches from 40 years ago. I know you are only concerned about and only want to talk about Floyd's fights at 147 from the age of 32 to 38. Historians, however, will care about his entire career, and not just the fights that clowns on message boards like to point out when they take cheap shots at him. So, from that perspective, 40 years from now, boxing historians will look back on Floyd's fights at 130 with Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Justin Juuko, Emmanuel Augustus, Diego Corrales, Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez as classic examples of a great boxer displaying his superior skill against high-quality opponents, some of whom went on to win world championships after Mayweather beat them. Historians will look back on Floyd's FIRST fight at 135 against the best fighter in the division, Jose Luis Castille, and use it as an example of a great fighter overcoming adversity. They will look back at his fight with Arturo Gatti and view it as Floyd's willingness to engage in a toe-to-toe slugfest against a fellow champion. They will look back at his fight with Zab Judah and say that it demonstrated that he was capable of defeating a high-quality fighter with the same type of hand speed that Floyd had. They will look back at his fight with Carlos Baldomir and say that he was willing to fight a bigger opponent that some boxing observers (Jim Lampley and Larrry Merchant) thought would be able to bully Floyd and hand him his first loss. They will look back at his fight with Oscar De La Hoya and use it as an example of how a superior fighter fighting at a disadvantage (fighting at De La Hoya's preferred weight and having De La Hoya pick his gloves for him) can still win. Historians will look back at his fight with Alvarez and wonder with awe how a man who is 37 and seven years past his prime can school a 23 year-old world champion in his prime. Historians will also look back on his career and remember, unlike the clowns who post these idiotic threads on this site, that three fighters that he went on to fight after he became the number one attraction in the world (Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton) actually turned down fights with him when he was in his prime at lower weight classes. What historians will not remember is all the useless posts like this one posted on boxing message boards that, 40 years from now, no one will give a damn about. his 135 lb fights are pretty good

Carlos Baldomir fight so they can sleep right away and then i go and proceed to bang the young baby sitter. WIN! Good luck because they gonna wake up crying in a bit from having nightmares from watching Floyd vs Baldo. I can see Frddie Couger working with Floyd. You get them to sleep and I'll take care of the rest.

specially if theyre interested in watching boxing classics Forget 40 years from now! My qeustion is, 40 minutes from now, will anyone give a rat's a......ss about this thread?

Even flowmos agree Floyd's best win was Chico. TBE because of Corrales, for real.

Are you dumb or what....DON'TTTT ever show any of Floyd Mayweather fights to your grandchildren because something that boring can give them nightmares. You can damage your TV or computer just playing Floyd Mayweather fights.

specially if theyre interested in watching boxing classics Probably would go with the Chaves fight. To me it pretty much summed up what Mayweather was capable at his normal weight range. Chaves isn't a great but he foughts great and did a solid job. I believe he lost his first fight or something and than won 30 straight before Mayweather. Mayweather started off slugging with him... than boxed beautiful and tired him out - and than went for the kill and actually stopped him. He took some punches, he showed great defense, he showed great ring generalship and as we know it is always tough to stop a game mexican. Also of course the Corrales fight - I mean ppl tend to forget that Mayweather wasn't such a favorite against Corrales. He was a mean punching machine. And Mayweather dominated him beautifully, knocked him down many times and just put up a clinic. The Cotto fight. I mean Cotto really brought it to Mayweather and was competive almost every round and Floyd really accepted the challenge and I thought he almost won every round even though Cotto was in every round. It sounds crazy but Floyd in almost every round was just a tad better. Great display in the art called prizeboxing by both of them. The Gatti fight not because it was competive - it wasn't. But it was a big step for Floyd in his career. He actually was still very hungry and probably one of his finest performance in putting together combinations and defense - he really gave it to the gutsy but skill wise inferior Gatti. A few other fights come to mind as well - but probably a good start to get an overall feel for Mayweather

Doesn't matter....each one was a fine example of the sweet science.

"Grandfather, I can't sleep. Can you put that fight Baldomir vs Floyd again. It works every time" :lol1: :lol1:

corralles, gatti, marquez and oscar

"Grandfather, I can't sleep. Can you put that fight Baldomir vs Floyd again. It works every time"

Mayweather Marquez Mayweather corrales Mayweather Corley Mayweather vs Augustus Those were all good fights he had some others of course but those are my favs. Fights I wouldn't wanna show them Floyd baldo Floyd de la Hoya Floyd canelo - as masterful as it was it bored the **** outta me people prbly say the same about the Marquez fight but I enjoy watching Marquez look like a child great fighter can't take that away from him but god he's a whinny little ***** sometimes. -_-

Not paying attention to whatever this thread ended up being, going to answer seriously. Corrales, Chavez, Burton, Castillo 1, Gatti, Judah, Hatton, Mosley, Cotto, Maidana 1. If the ginger ends up making a career for himself, you'll have to list that fight as well.

Floyd's greatest victory vs Pac: Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4 Oh wait.

specially if theyre interested in watching boxing classics Floyd v castillo 1, Floyd v Ortiz for the jokes, Floyd v Hatton for the ruggedness

Can't expect any positive thread about Floyd to be taken seriously lol. On topic Corrales Cotto Hatton Corley Augustus DLH Mosley Judah

Show them Mayweather-Baldomir to get them tired. Then top it off with Marquez-Pac 4 to show them proper sleeping technique. Face down in the pillow, arms underneath body. Someone is a bit upset aabout this thread :haha:
