Attention Mayweather fans.......

[Brandish]

This is the biggest line of bull**** I have seen on this site in a long time. A boxer/football player/basketball player/wrestler or any other athlete cannot truly be considered an "all time great" until AFTER they have finished their career. This is another example of a Mayweather hater taking cheap shots. The facts are that Mosley has turned Mayweather down three times. Hatton has turned Mayweather down three times prior to now. Mayweather beat the best at 130, 135, 147 and 154. The only reason he didn't beat the best at 140 is because the best (Hatton) refused to fight him. Although he cannot be considered an all time great yet, he is DEFINIELY the "all time greatest of the last 10 years". None of those guys you mentioned, Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, and definitely not Paul Williams are in the same league as Mayweather, so he will prove nothing by beating them. Those guys are simply battling for number 2. At this point in his career, Mayweather is in it ONLY for the money.

great post. This guy doesn't know what the **** he is talking about. just another hater.

AHAHAHA! I love this guy! Can I keep him as a pet?

are you sure youre ready to have a pet rat????

That's a fine statement. Water tight.

DWiens is one of the more intelligent and respectful people to join in recent memory.

I figure I can take good care of him, I'll just put his little ass in my laundry hamper. Maybe show him a 30 second Mayweather clip everyday if he's really good. I'd definitely have to leash him up though, he's liable to attack white people since we're all racist, might gnaw off a leg.

Uh oh, he's attacking Mexicans now. Watch out bro, kid is fierce.

Don't worry Hyperion, I disciplined him for you by stealing his lowly 1,000 points. That's what he gets for calling me racist. A white guy who just so happens to have a banner with 3 black fighters in it.

Most of my friends watch boxing and have been since they were kids. None of them find Mayweather entertaining....i dont know anyone who could call his fights exciting. Yes he rolls and slips punches and counters, but that gets boring after 5 minutes.

i want to see guts, determination, skill, power, aggression....not just shoulder rolls and 12 rounds of boredom.

you and your friends obviously have not seen all or even a majority of floyd's fights..
try watching him against hernandez, chavez, n'dou, corley, gatti, judah, etc..

Mayweather was extremely exciting to watch at 130lbs. He's still exciting but just lacks the KO power, which is expected of any normal 130lbs guy fighting guys at 147-154.

don't care about his past fights, he should be entertaining in his current fights and he's not.

agreed, this is one of the best threads in the recent memory of nsb

No it isnt and ill tell you why. In reality, this post is just a retread of an argument that will never end until mayweather loses or people just get tired of talking about him. How many times do we have to argue his resume, who ducked him, who he ducked, who didint fight him, who is overrated on his resume, who is underated. This thread really isnt different than **** we have been reading for YEARS that hes been at the top.

Regardless, what annoys is me is pretty much the fact that alot of these people keep talking about how they respect his skill but his opposition isnt good enough. Pretty much the ONLY reason YOU DO respect his skill is through the opposition hes faced. Looking good against competition that matters in title fights that matter are how a fighter is rated skillwise. I could tell you that i think Berto's skills make him an alltime great, but you would tell me i was a ****ing moron because his competition hasnt warranted enough for me to say that.

If i told you a great NCAA football player is an alltime great in college because of his skill, youd only say that due to the top competition that player faced to make him that skillwise. There are lots of guys with speed, ko power, and fast hands, but what have we seen them against to make us think all of that is worthwhile?

You cant sit here and say someones SKILLS exclusively make someone an alltime great, or someone has the potential to be an alltime great exclusively because of skill, but the only reason you say that is due to the nature of the competition they have faced. No one, and i dont care what your damn opinion is, no one can say mayweathers competition hasnt been against top opposition, unless of course your plan is to spout bull**** about how Oscar really isnt an alltime great, when he obviously is. Or your plan is to take away the fact that he fought both undisputed champions at 147, or your plan is to underrate mayweathers resume at 130 and 135, which your entitled to do, but your not saying or doing anything different than what we have all read and heard before.

This thread isnt some godsend of humility and intelligence, its just the same thread remixed and repackaged and re-done, and basically any mayweather thread until the Hatton fight ends is going to be in this category.
