    The article is a weak attempt to discredit Floyd's opponents, when in many cases, his opponents were percieved as legitimate threats and opponents who could defeat him, until he clearly outclassed them.

    I rememberat least half the people on this board picked Oscar to beat, if not KO Floyd, but after FLoyd beat him, it was just a SD win against an old, out of his prime fighter.
    I remember how Ricky Hatton was the guy who had the style and skill to beat Floyd Mayweather, until Floyd knocked him out, and he was just a small jr welter who Floyd was supposed to dispose of.
    The hypocricy is just pathetic.
    Half the board really?

    DLH 33 % vs. Mayweather 65%



    Hatton 36% vs. Mayweather 63%



    i dont know why you guys continue to claim this bull****. you even do it with Baldomir, "everyone picked Baldomir to KO floyd". no matter how many times people post the actual TRUTH, you guys continue to say that Floyd is always the underdog.

    the fact is, the majority of the people who overrate Floyd's opponents are Floyd's own fans because they know Floyd at that point wasn't facing the deepest opposition. so lets stop this little game of Floyd "The Victim" can we?

        47 votes is not a legit sample for DLH and the Hatton poll is more legit but 36% is a large group of people who thought Hatton would win, is it not?

        The odds on both these fights were closer then Cotto-Marg is currently, now you will prolly say odds makers don't make odds to predict fights but it tells you about how people are betting i.e. who they think is going to win.

          He's right about Mayweather being top 20 for sure and maybe top 10. Don't know why all the Floyd haters are celebrating in this thread when it clearly says Mayweather is top 10-20 all time.

            The best is when Floyd got all bent out of shape when Larry asked him about the fans booing and walking out of the Baldomir fight. Floyd said "u just a commentator, stick to commentating" Larry then responded with "But that's exactly what im doing" LMAO.

              The Oscar poll before the fight was 50/50. 50% of this board picked Oscar. You forget that people go back and vote after the fact.

                  Mayweather will be back

                  Mayweather was terrific and a top 20 all-time fighter, maybe even top 10, but not No. 1. He was undefeated, won titles in five weight divisions, dominated lots of quality opponents and was worthy of his pound-for-pound mantle.
                  There it is. I have always said Mayweather was top 10 with the potential to be top 3.

                    Manny on Floyd after the Hatton fight.


                    "That's what I thought would happen. He would either look his best or lose." WTF?lol.
