You have to go all the way back to 2007 Ricky Hatton to find a clear Knock Out for Mayweather. It's difficult for me to put Mayweather above Ali, Lewis, SRL when his style relied on judges to score the bout in his direction.
what is your definition of "DOMINATE" because he "CLEARLY" beats his opponents and all are world champs or p4p boxers..
how much stock do you put into Floyd outpointing guys that are past their prime...not counting the mma guy or the Japanese kickboxer, and bums with belts like Ortiz, guerrero, and Madonna...Guerrero, Madonna 2x, Ortiz, Berto...lets just call these guys what they are...bums with belts
I know, I felt bad for Josie.
Not even allowed a training camp for Christ sake!!
Floyd’s announced his come back, he desperately wants to be relevant.
yep him and killa Kovalev have a lot in common
I just wanna know why Manny was so scared to engage with Floyd, all his other opponents at least tried. Also how could you be so dumb financially? This guy just fought Keith Thurman so he wouldn’t go broke, or did he gamble it all away?
He’s got to be the goat because his haters can’t stop making threads about him years after retirement.
Floyd is the best I’ve seen fight live and you can pick anyone’s resume apart.
You live in fear of a world where nobody beats Floyd and your reality is showing you exactly that. How miserable you all must be.
Why don’t y’all make threads about the guys you consider goat instead boosting Floyd’s status with your hate filled hearts?
why are all these Floyd threads coming lately? dude is out of the picture, get over it guys he beat Josie Harris. no amout of bashing him will change it

Nope, he’s never been the GOAT. Absolutely NOBODY ever mentions him when that list comes up. He’s top 20 for sure though. But he ain’t no top 10, let alone GOAT.
PAC is definitely top 5 though, according to majority of boxing pundits and boxing fans.
He also failed to dominate a few big fights.
Maidana
Castillo
Pacquiao
^All arguably beat him.
If you actually believed Maidana or Pac beat him yourself, you wouldn’t have to use the word ‘arguably’. No way did they.
Everyone knows they didn’t, so don’t try and suggest that they did.
Castillo you could argue, but Floyd beat him easily in the immediate rematch anyway.
Floyd Mayweather didn't dominate any opponents in the last decade?
Are you for real?
Well, fury did what Floyd does against wilder and only got a draw?
So Floyd was only really essentially a knockdown or 2 away from it being considered close or competitve. If baldomir or guerrero, could have knocked Floyd down once or twice who knows?
Who did Floyd fight that was Decrepit?
De La Hoya? Pac fought an older version of him.
Mosley? Canelo fought an older version
Pac? Pac just whooped on an undefeated fighter 5 years after the Mayweather fight.
Nobody considers Floyd beating those guys as prime, all-time great wins on the level as a lot of his peers have. If he did, he'd probably be considered top 10 all time no question.
All of this would be a foregone conclusion with Floyd had he not dragged out fighting the best buys on his resume.
Mayweather dominated many fighters. It's the careful selection of sure wins to fight that hurt his legacy.
He also failed to dominate a few big fights.

This is absolutely true.
That’s why he never gets the ultimate respect from everybody.
You can’t win a fight running the whole time, you have to fight. If any other boxer tried that, he would lose on the scorecards.
But Floyd and Vegas have had it rigged for over a decade now, so he knew he could fight like that and win every time no problem. Boxing is a big time fixed sport.
Haven’t y’all noticed?
There's a boatload of all time great guys, floyds peers, who beat noteworthy guys in their prime. They didn't do like Floyd did and wait until they became decrepit.
