    Just look at what u just Wrote:

    You just named probably one of the 20 greatest fighters of all time as the only person who could beat Floyd who is Floyd's own size...
    enough though I disagree


    What does that tell you..?


    Why cant you name anybody today or in Floyd's era that is Floyd's own size who can beat him...?

    It is because he has an Perception that he is so gifted that no fighter his own size can beat him. Thats why he must move up in weight to find a challenge
    That my friend is an "aura of invincibility"
    No it's not an Aura is an illusion meaning IT'S NOT REAL! if you had to describe Floyd Mayweather it would not be aura of inviciblity. Supremely Talented are words that come to mind and one of the best of our era and he's in my top 20 of all time. He doesn't have an Aura of invicibility though because that would mean that all the fighter I have above him would have an aura of invicibility. Which they don't. Mayweather would be favoured to beat almost every 135 pounder out there but that's what it is a favourable guess. Fighters with auras of invicibility are aften ones who have fallen from grace because that aura has been shattered. I'm not knocking your theory but the choice of words isn't the greatest.

      It is just like saying a kid who is in college at the age of 11. Is not a genius because he is not the smartest person in his college class... Although he is only 11.

      Just Think about if he was in school with kids his own age. Would he not be consider a genius among his peers?


      Now apply that scenario to Floyd's Situation,

      If Floyd fought at 130,135, or at 140 at his whole Career would he not have even have a greater status that he has now.?

      and even a higher since of Aura of invincibility


      A "Aura of invincibility" is a belief that you can not be beat in normal circumstances. and it will take something special to beat you.

        No his aura of invincibility isnt high at all. Mike Tyson in his primes aura was higher and more menacing. And that is just one boxer im naming. I could go on.

          which is dumb..because he never cared about that division.and still he was the best in the division.

          The point is that Mayweather has to be in a handicap fight in order to even come close to losing....What does that tell you about Mayweather

          It tells you he has an Aura of invincibility amoung fighters his own size...which can not be said about alot of fighters in boxing history.

          But Mayweather is one of them
          it's been that way for years now horus, i agree. but what else can we say to these cats?

            Name 1 fighter 140 and below that Floyd wouldn't KNOCK OUT...!!!
            Not beat, But Knock Out/ or Stop.

            You guys are judging him on One division, a division which is his 4th division, and a division where he is the smallest fighter in the division...


            Once again:


            It is just like saying a kid who is in college at the age of 11. Is not a genius because he is not the smartest person in his college class... Although he is only 11.

              Addmitedly, I wanted Cotto to win so we could see Cotto-Mayweather. so Mayweather was still a part of it.

              Mine was more or less the same. I was around friends and family shouting: "¡Que cojones!"

              After the moment passed, I realized that it was an entertaining fight none the less with great two-way action.

                I think Castillo smashed that aura years ago.

                  Ok you make a good point but there alot of fighter that moved out of there own weight class like the previously mentioned Duran and fighters like Leonard, Robinson, Hearns, RJJ etc. I even at there natural weight they don't have an aura of invicibility. Robinson at MW was almost as good as his WW version and one of the top 5 MW's of all time. Could the same be said for Mayweather when he moved up?

                  Robinson moved up to chase Lamotta btw not because he was struggling to make weight he decided to stay up there when he won.

                    Once Again:

                    Look who you are Comparing Floyd too?

                    The greatest fighter of all time!

                    What does that tell you about Floyd?
                    What does that tell you about a fighter who can legitimately be compare to the greatest fighter of all time.?

                    Who in Floyd's generation could beat Floyd at 130,135, and @ 140.


                    See what people dont take into consideration is that the only way to have a balance when comparing Floyd to other fighters....Is that you can only compare Floyd to All time great fighters...

                    So what does that tell you about Floyd...?

                      LoL Floyd "ducked" Margarito Cintron and Williams to fight DLH @ 154, Judah and HATTON. Please don't make me laugh..the Hatton and DLH wins alone are worth more than Cintron/Williams and Margarito's entire careers and resumes COMBINED.

                      I guess haters are just jealous and ***** hurt that Floyd is the best as usual.
