Since we all know Floyd is overrated, the question is

[joepal]

I thikn even if Floyd fought Hatton, Willians, Margarito and Cinton the same time, 4 vs.1 .. haters would still find someone he'd fear ...

No, I dont think the hate is irrational. If Floyd had fought Casa, Tszyu and Hatton before he wouldve been undisputed p4p king.

For me alot of people over rate him by saying he's THE BEST EVER! And **** like that but i do think he's 1of the best fighters ive ever seen and im glad i got the chance to see him but he aint unbeatable, id back Cotto over him for starters and theres other fighters out there that have a good shot

[joepal]

i dont know what you mean by this ,what are u getting at ?

Well, usually, hype machines or propaganda favors a certain group of people.

[Dynamite Kid]

Whats up with this Wlad **** riding ? I mean, whats so awesome about a guy dominating the heavyweight divison? The heavyweight divison SUCKS! Larry Merchant can gain some weight and own them, **** the heavyweight divison

i agree who actually gives a toss who the Heavyweight Champion is these days, i dont even download heavyweight fights anymoe the only ones i do are True legends like Holy,Tyson, Lewis

the only Heavyweight fights i have on my hard drive is Klitschko v Byrd 2 dont ask me why i just saw a chance to grab so i did ,the fight is not very impressive either IMO

He lost to an unfocused Castillo what, he was focused and PBF was hurt and he still won. And everyone has fillers on their resume and those names are not bad as such. He also beat some very good fighters in Chavez, Corrales, and a prime Geno after only 17 fights. With wins over Hatton and the COtto/Mosley winner he has to be considered an all time great. Remember his last fights are against much bigger men and Floyd could easily make 140 yet he is fighting DLH at 154. The haters will hate but name one other fighter that has done that. PEace

An unfocused Corrales nor a shot Genaro does not a great resume make.

I have said it time and again Castillo won the first fight. But even with that loss, he still is the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world. And i think the thread starter should show a bit more respect to Floyd who has dedicated his entire life to the sport and is reaping rewards for all the hard work. How can the greatest defensive fighter of all time be over rated? if you ask ali, or sugar ray they will tell you Floyd has the best defence ever. He may not be as good as them in attack but with such a good defence you don't need to be. So start respecting him.

Greatest defensive fighter of all time? WTF?

[KESSLER]

First of all the judges scored for floyd, so let this bull **** with he losed too castillo, then everybody fought bums, that's ****** too just pick some names, i can't say cotto just foughts some bums like corley, maussa, branco, but that ain't true so stop hating. floyd fought other decent fighter like corrales, castillo twice, gatti ( wasn't so bad at junior welterweight so give him more respect), dela hoya, judah, hernandez, jesus chavez...

so stop hating on mayweather.

PS : at junoior welter everyone wanted him to fight Hatton, now he fights him at welterweight, and now everybody is like, yeah he fears williams, cinton or margarito...

An unfocused Corrales nor a shot Genaro does not a great resume make.

It ain't Floyds fault Corrales was unfocused, he just did what he had to do and beat him

I was not faulting Floyd for it, I was faulting those who thought the Corrales win made for a great resume.

Geno had one lose at the time and its was Floyds 17th fight you make no sense.

Genaro was on the downside of his career. And so what if it was Floyd's 17th fight?
