Mayweather easily, in the past few years Mayweather has been in some really entertaining fights. Cotto, Guererro and Maidana are all fights i watched more than once.
On the other hand i haven't watched a Wlad fight in years, and i'm not really interested in doing so.
Ouch...actually i'm sure Gaona didn't even feel that.
Lemieux has incredible potential but he needs to get some rounds under his belt. Even his trainer spent the whole time yelling at him to take his time, didn't really listen though.
Mayweather vs Gatti, i was at a pub with my uncle and some friends. Everybody was rooting for Gatti including me but unlike them i knew Mayweather was something else.
It was a brutal beatdown.
George Foreman
Mike Tyson
Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
Lennox Lewis
Riddick ''Mr one night only'' Bowe
Vitali Klitschko - Personally I feel Wladimir dismantles him. Too fast all round.
Larry Holmes
Evander Holyfield (prime)
Out of the ones you mentioned i kept those who i think could most likely beat Wlad.
What stands out the most for me in your list if Vitali. Personally i think he would take his younger brother to school. But that fight will never happen and i don't really mind, it's understandable that brothers would not want to fight each other for money.
In the past 2-3 years or so he really went down as a commentator. I don't know if he drinks on the job or he's a little senile but some of the comments he makes have me go ''WTF?''.
So i guess i won't really miss him. He used to be a pretty good commentator but it's time to move on.
I agree with this list.
And i still think floyd is one of the best defensive fighter still fighting along with Hopkins.
But Floyd just can't compare cause he doesnt even want to fight the people who might give him problems. His goal is to get rich and retire...Can't hate on that but he is still acting like a child playing a grown man's game.
If Arum and Floyd ever come to an agreement(they wont) and Mayweather fights Pacquiao i might start liking Money May again.
Watch my post get deleted like the last 2 times i posted in this section. :(
floyd just needs a hug. pity he cries himself to sleep.
He is the most talented boxer on the planet but i'm pretty sure he acts the way he acts to have nasty sex with women who only bang rich people like the amazingly hot black lady that barely wanted to kiss him on camera in the last 24/7.
When i saw that stuff i was like "I bet Ellerbe doesn't like that girl one bit. :)"
In reality i beleive Floyd is a nice guy, but he is a prize fighter so all he does, he does it for money. And what he did against Ortiz was low no matter how many times i try to see things from his hustler perspectitive.
So yeah i sure hope he keeps getting booed, atleast if he ever fight Pacquiao he won't underestimate him. Cause i still think he'll get knocked out or atleast badly tested. But sorry folks, the fight won't happen. Too many "Yes men" around both Mayweather and Pacquiao. :(
Personally i don't even blame floyd, yes he did something dirty but Joe Cortez was the ****ty refferee who let it all happen, he stopped paying attention to what was happening.
Plus Victor tried to headbutt him more than once, and mayweather was using his Elbow.
They need to have a rematch with another referee that actually understands the importance of a big fight like that.
Cause say what you will, but before all the crap it was an insanely entertaining fight. :boxing:
No order:
Sergio Martinez
Lucian Bute
Juan Manuel Marquez
Miguel Cotto
Victor Ortiz
James Kirkland
Manny Pacquiao
Vitali Klitschko
Devon Alexander
Yuriorkis Gamboa
If thats what it takes to make the fight happen so be it. But 200 mils is retarded.
Won't happen anyway, like Arum and Mayweather could stop hating eachother for just a second, hah.
I'm really happy for him, he has been working his ass off for a long time, got robbed some and never got the respect and the money he deserved.
I hope he makes some dough in the super 6 cause he deserves it.
yea right!!!! look at maglifaggi he doesnt have any muscles thats why his punches are so weak same thing with amir con artist!!! now look at manny "manila ice" and iron mike tyson they both have great muscles thats why they knock out so many peoples!!!!!!!!
What...how, i dont even...
:nonono::nonono::nonono:
Skill wise, i agree that Mayweather is the best boxer(Boxer, not fighter.) in the world. From a technical stand point he can do things most boxers can only dream of doing.
HOWEVER, he's wasting his potential ducking the best and fighting subpar opposition, since he left 135 he has done more talking than anything else.
Other guys in the sport are fighting the top competition all the time while Floyd has been cherry picking for the past few years. Say what you want but if you don't fight the best you can't be the best.
Why didn't Mayweather fight Cotto, or Margarito? Instead he retired...and then came back to fight a 126 pounder.
So yeah, best boxer in the world that has a good chance to beat anybody, but he'd rather talk about how great he is than prove it.
It's just sad, cause he's an amazingly talented indivudual.
WOW just look at how much of a beat Pacquiao is in this pic!!!

Yeah it's crazy, people who actually fight get hurt a little from time to time.
Unlike Mayweather who just talks **** all day long and still gets his nuts ridden buy tons of people,Pacquiao actually fights and tends to look impressive most of the time. While i don't think Mosley was the best choice of opponent for Pacquiao it sure as hell beats not fighting and talking crap.
Just watch Pacuqiao-Clottey, he couldn't get through that 1 dimensional defense of Clottey's, do you think he will get through the worlds best defensive fighter? He couldn't knockout Clottey.
Bad example, cause the only thing Clottey did was cover up. So he wailed on his arms for 12 rounds and won a 1 sided decision.
You can't win a fight with defense only.
Tyson easily...........he sold out stadiums and did million plus on PPV fighting tomato cans........biggest draw ever if he hadn't lost years in jail........
What the **** do pvp buys have to do with how exciting a fighter is? Mayweather is the supposed ppv king, while he is an incredibly talented fighter, his fights in recent years have been boring as hell.
On topic. As much as i would like to vote Tyson. I have to go with Pacquiao. The reason is, when Tyson fought guys, you though he would beat the shit out of him, when he first lost to Douglas it came as a surprise.
For Pacquiao, when he fought Cotto i didn't know what would happen. To me that is much more exciting than having a pretty good idea of who is going to win.
Same thing with Pacquiao vs Mayweather, i'm rooting for Pacquiao, but i honestly have no idea who is going to win.
I live in montreal myself and i don't see any reason why they would make the fight happen in montreal. Sure it would be cool cause i could see it live but lets be realistic, it will probably be in vegas.
Man James Toney is just so damn skilled, relaxed, accurate.
Makes you wonder how much greater he could have been if he was disciplined and didn't love fast food so much.
