How do you become a 10+ time world champion across 5 different weight classes, 4 of those Weight Classes Lineal Champion, whilst beating ten fighters ranked #1 in the division being fought in and 7 of which in the P4P Top 10 list, whilst ducking every legit fighter?
Make that make sense.
one name antonio margarito
Chances are May would not be as rich as he is without being a boxer.
He's not an actor, writer, inventor, social media mogul....
We can say 99.99999% of his earnings came from him being a very successful boxer.
Michael Jordan the librarian does not get a Nike deal.
Okay I think he would have been successful in anything he wanted to do. Anyone who reached the highest level of boxing must be able to do it anywhere else too.
This is what's wrong about these young ass mutha****as today. No respect. Foo you are talking to an elder who was probably into Boxing when you were still swimming in your daddy's balls.
Floyd wasn't the most exciting fighter and many people can agree with that. But he's faced and beaten the best opponents that were available to him at the time and guy maintained his squeaky clean record since 96'.. How crazy is that.
i guess you didn't learn shit that whole time old nigguh!
He was the absolute greatest when it comes to business and making money in boxing.
There are other fighters in history who rank higher in legacy.. challenging themselves at the highest levels.
finally someone who knows his boxing. But yah i'd rather be a mayweather who absolutely business mogged the game then be a legendary fighter challenging himself at the highest level.
Youre an idiot that has no clue what youre talking about, get off the fanboy pills and go learn boxing.
lol how much more boxing do i got to learn my boi?
Theres nothing hes shown to tell me that. Then u have Davis whos been duckin Loma for damn near 9 years. AND he basically blew off Haney instead of fighting him cause his boss said no.
This isnthe social media fight of the year.
chit i didn't know any of that
See that is how immature you are, I just said youre an idiot that doesn't understand boxing, you convert that to being on Floyds nuts.
Go away and grow up because youre acting like a fool.
it's a free forum my dude; I won't go away until the mods ban me, which will probably be soon. But, you really don't think mayweather ducked a lot of dudes? Do you troll on the internet a lot bro?
Had these 2 been the best in their respective divisions then fcuk the belts, but they arent. So yeah, they do matter
you don't think ryan sleeps haney and loma?
- - I like the Ring p4p comparisons of TBE TUE vs Manny, ie Manny with most p4p wins, KOs, Fights, weight classes, and consecutive years p4p ranked than any Ring p4per that started with young Mike Tyson as the first #1 p4p fighter in Ring history ca late 1989 some 33 yrs ago that likely lasts until the sun explodes.
Spaddy was mentioned as he diced up TBE TUE in sparring footage, so when he was approaching 49-0 before TBE TUE, Spaddy solicited the fight, so guess who turned him down?
Anyone ever see another fighter quit a fight in the middle of a round to go squallin' fer his daddy like TBE TUE? That might well be a solo record of ONE...only in boxing, folks!!!
we're talking about 130 spaddy, of course mayweather splatters him in his old age, but at that time floyd was too scared. Idk wtf tbe tuesday shit is though
You could say Margarito was a miss but Floyd got a better deal to face Baldomir from what I remember. It was a business decision. Sht you cant fight everybody! Margarito might have got his shot down the line but a faded Mosley and Pacman whooped his ass so who cares lol.
Let me bring another name down here for you: Paul Spadafora!
Typical teenager, if you want to troll go ahead it's what teenagers do.
strawman argument and i'm way past my teens bro. Go back into mayweather resume and you'll see a lot of missing fighters. It's ok bro; floyd made billions.
I wouldn't admit youre older than teenager because you don't reflect that.
Go into any resume from anyone anytime in history and I will point out many fighters they could have fought that some pea brain fan will say was a duck, you understand a fighter cannot fight everybody, for every top guy they do fight there are 9 other top 10 guys they didnt fight are they all ducks lol, the maths are not to hard for you figure out are they.
ok bro don't go saying mayweather is tbe if he didn't beat all these dudes.
Yes, very smart ducking 147 and "retiring" when it got hot there for a little around 2008-2010. I understand why since he nearly lost to Maidana who Devon Alexander shutout with no trouble at all. TBE? sure at making money and dodging but fighting? nah
yes tbe was definitely a marketing term for the less intelligent boxing fan to cling onto mayweather. But, damn bro a billion dollars networth is nothing to scoff at. Money May definitely beat the game of boxing.
Sonny Liston was pretty surly\
Young George Forman was pretty bad too
Yea, but that was like hundred million years ago. I'm talking about recent fighters, like in the last 20 years or so. They all seem to be well socialized n shit. I can't think of a fighter in the last 50 years that became legendary who wasn't good on camera, charimastic, etc etc.
Do you mean they can do an interview well or they they look like trash despite being a great fighter?
I'm just talking social skills in general, like being good with the media, fans, etc etc. But were really good in the arena fighting wise.
Just bring back the 15 round fights and you'll be good to go. Make sure there are no even rounds, so there will always be a clear winner. It'll make the guys fight harder, leading to more enjoyable fights.
Practice makes perfect. A lot of these athletes start off kinda shy, but then they become better in front of the mic. Go look at Mayweather's post fight interviews in his first few fights.
Yea, I guess that's true.
Garcia size has nothing to do with anything
He doesnt have the defensive skills to hang with tank.
size matters a lot my dude, that's why tank is scared
You don’t know?
Garcia is limited to 146 pounds day of the fight weight. He won’t be bigger he’s going to be dehydrated, shrunken down and weak as a kitten
damn tank is unconfident, the fight is scuffed now. But I'm sure garcia doesn't need to balloon up in weight that much. I still look forward to the fight.
