Mayweather gets too much stick

[The Wire]

OK. I've got to finally admit it. Floyd is the ****. And he gets too much stick. I've been a disbeliever for so long, but tonight - well it's like an epiphany. I'm sat here watching him against Corley - not his best performance you say? Well that is certainly true. But the boy can fight, he's never in any trouble, he's always a step ahead - that's the same in every fight. Zab Judah is a good fighter and after four rounds he wasnt in the fight. Coralles is a great fighter and he was never there against Floyd - personal problems or no that is still impressive. Castillo? Well I think he lost the first fight, but in the rematch he just completely shut Castillo down - who else has done that? Arturo Gatti? A good fighter who was completely outclassed and shut down by Mayweather? Angel Mafredy? Carlos Baldomir? Victoriano Sosa? Forget about it. Floyd shut them down. He is always a class above whoever is in front of him. There is no doubt that he will beat DLH for me. He would beat Hatton, although I have always said that. I do still think Hatton will give him a fight, though.

Ring magazine fighter of the year at 21, undisputed welterweight champ who started at super feather...the guy deserves my respect and my - to be honest i'm cringing as i'm writing it - my belief.

The GOAT?

Not yet, but who knows?.

You're right.

I remember seeing Floyd on MTV cribs, and some people I was with were like:

"who is this clown?.."

They were not boxing fans and had never seen him before..


There's something about Floyd people are just naturally inclined to disrespect.


But the kid is a ****ing dynamo with unlimited mastery and control.

My favorites in terms of him showcasing his **** are Corrales and N'dou.

Yeah I forgot about the Ndou fight. Those three right hands he threw to finish him off were sick. The speed and the accuracy needed to land all three is crazy.

Thats one thing I also like about Floyd, hes a very accurate puncher...

I think ppl will appreciate Floyd more once hes retired,we rarely get people with the skills that Floyds got

Where will he rank on the all time lists? Up with Ali/Robinson/Leonard/Duran? Or around the second tier? Or will he even be remembered as an all time great? I think he should be around the second tier, although a dominant victory against DLH would maybe - MAYBE - put him up at the first

I think he wil be a ATG,i dont know about the same rank as Robinson,but Leonard i think he could,people compare them alot,Floyd could have beaten alot of great fighters from the past

True.

I just hope that he doesn't retire win or loose againt Oscar. There are a lot of good fights that he could do in the future...
