    Floyd haters are widely known for exaggerating.. Quotes like, "he's the most overrated fighter in boxing history", "he's a coward", or "all of his decisions were gift decisions", can be disregarded as hyperbole..

      I totally disagree with that.

      Floyd won that fight 116-112 and the photos of Oscar are fake.

        ^^I've noticed that Mayweather fans/supporters are obviously among the most rational and objective posters involved with this site.

            I kinda disagree with you on that one, to be honest.

              It's boxing.. not knock outs. First and foremost. Second of all, he HAS KNOCKOUT POWER. You all talk about him as if this is his natural weight division. It's not. Remember a young Floyd, when all he did was knock people out/down? He won 20 or so of his first 25 fights, by knockout, when he was at 130.. Which was closest to the weight he could KILL people in, (130-135)He actually moved up to avoid doing the one thing people claim he does all the time, which is duck challenges. He wanted the bigger/better fights. So, he chased them. He just happens to be talented enough to get away with being, at most, a averaged-sized/blown up welterweight. BY the way, out of his last 15 fights, he has 7 stoppages, including Mitchell, Gatti, Corrales, Chavez, and the Phillip N'Dou fight. Past their primes, not that great, regardless, most of those fighters have strong performances to their credits, and got stopped by Floyd. So, there's that.. I'm NOT ON FLOYDS NUTS, by the way. I just want to create a little factual balance.

              Furthermore, in order to get off the canvas and win by KO, you have to be put on your ass. You blame Floyd for that?
              First, I will concede that Floyd is not featherfisted. Floyd has respectable power, but NOT knockout power. You're reading way too much into those post 130 fights to come up with that, C. (IMO) That should be restated for factual balance.

              Second, I do not agree that he moved up to chase them. He moved up to take the biggest money fights he could at the time for the least amount of risk. Floyd's quote: "If it makes money, it makes cents," should tell you all you need to know.

                Disagree with this post, but agree with your previous post. People go way overboard calling him a coward and overrated and all this other bull****, but others think he's an invinvible god, and truth is he's somewhere in between, closer to invincible than a coward but you see what i'm saying, he's not unbeatable and has made some bad choices.

                    I would say Floyd has the type of power Hopkins had... a strong guy, who had decent power in both hands... but didn't produce the one-punch KOs... he always wore his opponents down first if he was able to KO them.

                    By the way, the quote should be "If it makes money, it makes sense"

                    It makes a bit more sense that way.

                      I wont deny that he wants big money fights too, but so does.. Lemme check. 99.9% of all the other boxers out there. As far as the risk, Corrales was a risk for him, going into it, (both were undefeated), De La Hoya was a risk, Hatton is a risk. He's also made it public in calling out Hamed, Mosley and Tszyu. All risks. I don't liek to assume what he was thinking. I only KNOW he called them out.

                      NOTE: Just got a memo, the other .1% of the boxers have decided they want big money fights, too.
