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
i learned childlike spanish by accident.
it's easy as piss, especialyl if you've studied english, german, but especially french, italian, and portuguese.
my dude paulF told me this, and it makes perfect sense now that he's said it:
french has about 1/3 the words that english does. if you're writing a novel, academic paper, it's going to be a b#tch to have to use such a limited language. for the rest of us, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to pick the thing up.
Lots of language in europe have similarities.
Its like malaysian and filipino language/dialect
hectari, who was that girl, was that his girlfriend ? why do the crazy one's always get the hot one's :nonono::pat::thinking:
if u stopped taking boxing seriously hot girls will give their soul to you
damn that was a good post. makes a lot of sense. I grew up around pinoys and shiiieet just came full circle lol. and yea spaniards dont give two fuks about pinoys which why its kind of funny/pathetic when they try so hard to claim they are spaniard. last time I checked the spaniards named a candy bar "filipinos" and ate them lol
did you also read about some black dominicans who dont considered themselves black?
this has something to do with the european colonizers
