    Mayweather's skills inside the ropes cannot be questioned. I do think however that he hasn't faced the best fighters he could over the last few years. But thats another story.

      Please find a Post where I have Once questioned Floyds boxing ability.

      You must have me confused with somebody else.
      The only thing I have questioned about Floyd is his Competition and his claim to be an all time great.
      There is nothing to like about Floyd as a man.
      He behaves like a child , tries to imitate gangsters and has little respect for his peers.
      His history of violence outside the ring is akin to a bully & a coward.
      He throws money on the floor like it is worthless in turn he is saying those who pick that money up is worthless.
      So far in his career at 140 and above he has a lot more to prove.
      Yes he has ability and skills , but what is the point in having them if you are unwilling to showcase them against ALL the contenders?

        Ok moofo, now you're taking this arguement to a new direction. You don't like floyd as a person, that's fine. Mike Tyson attacked old ladies and people still like him and some don't. Most of them love to see him in the ring knocking people out. Pure boxing fans appriciate Floyd's in ring abilities. He isn't as strong as he was at super-feather so we're not gonna see as many knockouts from him as we used to.

        He has fought the linear, recognized and WBC champ in Baldomir. He moved up without any tune-up's and fought the best guy at 154 in Delahoya, unless you considered Cory Spnks a better fighter at that time.

        He is back down to Welter to fight a undefeated top 10 p4p fighter in Hatton wh is the recognized jr.welterweight champion. After that I AM 100% SURE THAT HE WILL FIGHT THE MOSLEY/COTTO WINNER. I BET ON THAT. Give him a few months and you will see he will fight the winner.

        Also if fighting the Cotto/Mosley winner isn't good enough for you then nobody can help you.

          If Floyd keeps fighting Top opposition and beating them in style I will become a believer.
          I already said a thousand times my problem with him is he hasn't fought the best opposition and so cannot claim to be the best.
          He certainly has no right to declare himself the Greatest that ever lived.
          What part of my Opinion can't you understand?

          One thing is for sure I will never like him as a man.

          And I can't understand how his fan's believe that he has achieved anywhere near all time great status at 140 147 or 154.
          If he had unified those divisions or beaten the best then I would hold my hand up.
          BUT HE HASN'T!!!

              The best fighters over the past few years at 147/154 are Oscar and Shane. Floyd fought Oscar and Shane declined a fight.

              The best fighter at 140 over the past few years is Ricky Hatton. Floyd is fighting him in seven weeks.

                YES.
                And even worse they were/are professional boxers so should have the discipline not to do it.
                Do you think it is OK to hit women???
                Does being a boxer exclude you from it being wrong?
                Where are you coming from here???
                Am I going to be struck by lightning for committing Boxing Blasphemy?

                If you hit women you are scum no matter who you are or what you have done in life.

                      Moofo, he was the best 154 fighter at that time skill wise unless you think Spinks was better then him. Floyd fought delahoya at 154 without any tune-up's. His first fight at 154.

                      You said you don't like floyd. Ok but don't let that influence your judgement of him as a fighter. Also if you hate his style of fighting and call it running-hidiing-***** or whatever else people come up on here then nobody can help you.

                      Floyd is not a brawler........we know this. If he beats the best competition then he will beat them by boxing.

                      Are you one of the people who dislike his fighting style????
