Whocared about Floyd Jr. prior to the Gatti fight?

Manny vs Floyd. Who wins? 130 pounds

Prime for prime? Basing on the level of competition and manner of victory.

The real deal always wins against the fake.

Everyday people come on here and ask the same questions, bring up the same issues and harp on the same problems all concerning floyd, which means he must be doing something right.

Wrong, you must be blind not to see basic common sense.

Some of you guys overrate the ****ing hell out of him though.

Why do you think he's better than Wink? ****ing beats me. I read all what you type when you compare the two and nothing yet has changed my perception of Wright being the best fighter on the planet right now.

Look who he toys with. It's crazy, he's on another level than everyone.

Wright is more debatable as the top p4p guy and is open for discussion as it is undeniable that he has a pretty good resume to be shown at.

PBF is a fake.

I agree,theres countless threads about this and the same arguments,I guess thats what a forum is for.

answer to the question in the title.

boxing fans,

in fact it almost form definition, those who did not care for mayweather run at 130-135 were not boxing fans at the time.

I have been a Mayweather fan since his the Phillip N'dou fight.He was a genious in that fight.Showing speed, power, and incredible defence.That is probably my favorite PBF fight.

Same here, i watched that on Sky sports and was like, 'oh this guy is the ****', i heard he was good before that, i follow boxing a bit more now tho.

If you seriously didn't pay any attention to Floyd before the Arturo Gatti fight... wow. I'm going to have to seriously question your knowledge of the sweet science. Why would the Gatti fight even turn your head anyway? Gatti was shot then, and even in his prime wouldn't have stood a chance. The very latest Floyd was really relevant was 2001 when he dominated Chico, but any real, knowledgeable fan knew he was at least someone to watch out for even before that.

There you go everyone, anyone who didnt rate Mayweather pre 2001 is not a real fan of boxing.

lol.

Well, that was harshly worded, but you know what I mean. That was his first win over another top fighter and cemented his position as a contender.
