The truth about Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[larryx]

That was 3-4 years ago. jmm was 2 years ago. big difference that 8-10

not a big differance..you are just a miserable floyd hater and need help..you said pacman wants big money fights and is fight stiff comp to get it...his only big money fights are floyds left overs hatton,oscar...so dont contradict yourself now

[Walt Liquor]

in the scope of Floyd's whole career, I think it's reasonable to say Floyd has fought the best for the most part. His run at 147 is a microscopic part of his career afterall. The icing on the cake essentially.

I think you are out of your mind. That statement is total bull**** and nowhere near reasonable. The argument cannot be made. He fought Bruseles, Corley and Gatti at 140.

How are you gonna say that **** about "take the 147 out of that sentence". WTF is that???? If you take to 10 out of Peter Manfredo's loss column he is undefeated and maybe the greatest fighter in our generation.

I like all of your excuse words like "for the most part". too bad he doesn't have enough balls like a morales, mosley, leonard, duran or many other fighters who are icons who can say without hesitation or excuse "I fought the best fighters of my generation".

Uh, Actually Oscar is Shane, Felix Sturms, and BHops leftovers, not Floyds. Pac fighting Hatton is a much bigger step up than Floyd fighting Hatton, if you can't see that you need to remove Floyd's balls from your eyelids.

may i refer you to this post right here:

All I'm saying is, 140lbs+ is a minor part of Floyd's career, yet, funnily enough, it's the only part that his detractors seem to care about.

And it's not the same as discounting losses, as his run up there does boost his legacy. Just not to the extent his run at the lower weight classes does.

He still managed to fight and beat an on-point Zab Judah, Baldomir at the height of his career, and undefeated, multiple division champion, Ricky Hatton. And the De La Hoya fight is a decent win also, especially when taking into consideration that he moved up yet another weight class for it.

Pac fighting Hatton is a much bigger step up than Floyd fighting Hatton, if you can't see that you need to remove Floyd's balls from your eyelids.

Floyd ruined Hatton. He's a shadow of his former self now. Any perception of invincibility is long gone

and De La Hoya slipped considerably since the Floyd fight also... And he moved down and weight drained himself for the Pacman fight

floyd haters are a joke all they mention is his 7 fights over 140...and those 7 aint even bad fights......some people just need to get a gun and shoot themselves maybe then theyll be happy

"No question, no doubt, it is what it is. You can't hate on what's in front of your face. Bottom line is, pound for pound god, of 2007, of my era, or our era, is Pretty Boy Floyd."

- Bernard Hopkins

"He's a great fighter. He is the pound for pound king of 2007 - of this era."

- Shane Mosley

"The best pound for pound champion in the world, no doubt about it, Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather."

- Oscar De La Hoya

"He's an amazing fighter. He's one of the few fighters I've ever seen, like Muhammad Ali - he watches every move his opponent makes, and capitalizes on those mistakes. That's a gift. You can't teach that. Floyd's number one of this era. He's fought the best of this era."

- Sugar Ray Leonard

The truth is he's simply the best fighter alive today. All you haters can hate all you want, but you are simply blinded by the truth. And the truth hurts. Even the best know Mayweather is the best. As Hopkins said, it is what it is. Don't hate on what's in front of your face.

I'm sure anyone with a brain bigger than the size of a peanut knows Floyd is the best.

My uncle, a devout fan of boxing, is great friends with an up and comin prospect in the welterweight division. Said el Harrack. He spars with pros form time to time while developing his pro career and zab judahs pops was watching him spar and has seen mayweather spar recently and said mayweather isnt lookin too hot...said Said would rough him up and is probably going to spar with him soon.

Now i know sparring isnt that great of a tool to judge wether or not someone is ready but it still has to hold some weight...i wanna see floyd do well..cant wait to see if hes sitll got something left in the tank
