    Ring magazine on Mayweather fans angry about Pac being fighter of 2000's.............

    Read how ****** this article is. Some of these guys are so ****ing ****** that its not even funny. And these guys are ment to be historical writers?


    Stay updated with exclusive boxing news, fighter rankings, match analysis, and upcoming fight schedules. Your trusted source for professional boxing since 1922



    Look at this quote made by a 'boxing historian',

    “Let’s just look at the two fights against Hatton,” said Mike Silver, an historian and author of The Arc of Boxing. “Mayweather calls Hatton ‘the toughest fighter I ever faced’ and Pacquiao utterly destroyed him. C’mon, if Mayweather has the skills he professes to have, he should’ve dominated a club fighter like Hatton.


    This is one of ths ******est things ive read in my life. So because Pac ko'd Hatton in 2 rounds, and because it took Floyd 10, that makes Pac a greater fighter than Floyd?

    WTF???????????????????????????????????????



    So these so called boxing historians must have forgotten how hard it is for fighters to come back from a knockout defeat. Floyd inflicted Hatton his first loss and first KO. If Floyd beat Hatton by decision, then there could be an argument, but Floyd TKO'd him!



    These writers are so negetive towards Floyd, no wonder he says he doesnt read **** thats written about him.


    I mean the reason Michael Rosenthal gave for Floyd being 2nd to Manny was that Manny fought the best fighters, in reference to Oscar and Hatton.

    Then i ask myself, what was a harder fight Pac vs Oscar at 147 where Oscar looked like someone close to his death bed, or Oscar-Mayweather at 154?

    People shouldnt forget, Floyd already beat Oscar and ko'd Hatton before Pac did.

    And this ent a hate thread on Pac, because the guys one of my favourite fighters and i root for him in all his fights. Ive been a fan ever since the Morales fight, so dont think im hating.

    I thought Floyd said Augustus was the toughest fight he ever had?

    I think he was just praising Hatton rite after the fight.

      People just like and respect Pac more than Mr boat buyer in general, thus find it easier to give him props.

        IMO, if PBF had played a likable personality rather than a villain, even with his fighting style, he would have been selected.

          Its not just The Ring, you're going to find this in most boxing media. You guys will make it out to be some sort of anti Floyd conspiracy and make Floyd out to be Boxing's biggest victim.

          Pacquiao is this generation's best. The funny thing is, he did what Floyd was supposed to do by doing the same thing Floyd did.

            They shouldnt make these sort of articles when the year hasnt even finished yet. I mean the author clearly doesnt want to give the title to Floyd hence why he's made it so early in the year.

            The winner out of Floyd-Pac should be crowned fighter of the decade.

              Not really, Rings started this **** off and now all the other websites are gonna follow.


              And the author is clearly anti-Floyd. Read the article, the guy justification for giving Manny the title is because he's more exciting? What the ****s that all about?

              Is this some sort of popularity contest?


              They should have waited for the winner of Floyd-Pac before deciding.

                  Well I say wait till they fight before giving one of them that claim. Thereason it took Floyd ten rounds is because him and pacman are two different kinds of fighters so I see no reason to give one the crown that way. This is kinda funny to me.

                    yeah this is true. and it's whatever really... i just avoid reading articles like this

                    would be nice if more professionalism and objectivity was shown by guys of this stature though
