Everyone prior to Morales 1, Rios, Clottey, Algieri, Broner, Vargas, Margarito*, Mosley, Cotto*, DLH*, Lucas, HORN, Bradley 3 TIMES......

Some ripe cherries right there

Don't leave out that he progressed to beating Thurman and is taking on Spence, while Floyd digressed to fighting Japanese kickboxers and Youtube novices.

It’s just you.

Example: Everything everyone said before they started making excuses for Mayweather when he disappointed.

Maybe it's just me, but any cruiserweight-sized young athlete should be able to last eight rounds with a 44 year old ex-champ that weighs 155 lbs soaking wet, and not in top condition. Honestly Paul should have been able to hurt Floyd and keep him in trouble wth such large size, weight, and reach advantages. Add in the youth vs age factor and it becomes a mystery why Paul was not able to do significantly more ...

So credit to Mayweather that he pretty much carried the fight ... even with all those disadvantages. Pretty impressive punching a cruiserweight around and forcing him to clinch for much of the fight.

Hopefully this will be the final exhibition by Floyd against big, young guys who should be able to take his head off. As per Logan Paul, if he were in with a current boxer anywhere near his size I think he would be in great trouble. He should have been able to hurt Floyd and trouble him. It's very troubling that he mostly could not.

He didn’t fight a 190-poind professional boxer.

He fought some kid off the street.

Mayweather’s hands are brittle and they reinjure literally in every fight.

The only time Floyd has been able to KD or KO a fighter at 147 or above is only when he fights an opponent similar in size to him. If the welters are coming in at 158-164lbs, Floyd won’t stand a chance of KD’ing them. 190lbs? Come on Arum, you underestimate Floyd one day and then overestimate his capabilities another day. As long as the shoe fits. In this case Arum would like to go with the narrative that the fight was fixed. What better way to back your opinion by overestimating what Floyd is capable of?

[ShaneMosleySr]

We’re complimenting Mayweather for being able to push a random kid off the streets around a bit in a boxing ring.

My how low our standards are.

I was surprised Floyd could push him around at times he is a dam big young bull you would think he could just throw May around like a rag doll, wasn't the case Floyd is very strong for how small he is.

If you can knock out Ricky Hatton, you can knock out a 200 pound random person.

Floyd hasn't had a legit KO since Ricky Hatton in 2007! He was NOT knocking out a 200lb. man!

[ShaneMosleySr]

Floyd Mayweather is a professional boxer and Logan Paul isn’t even a professional athlete.

he's saying this because people percieved floyd's inability to finish paul as a weakness of the sport. in reality floyd coulnd't stop guys of his own size when he was in his prime. he's just not that kind of fighter. this was to be expected, i can't see why one would expect anything else. i thought logan would tire out, i didn't think floyd would detonate him like a rocky movie. paul is 6'2" and walks around well over 200 lbs and he's in shape. floyd topped out at about 150 lbs as a pro. had a hall of fame career at 130 and 135. that's 50 lbs and he was never a puncher to begin with.

If he could have, he would have.

May is retired.

He's always retired or on vacation when there's some dudes who can really fight are on the horizon.
Thats the built in Floyd Boy excuse.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Mayweather has knocked out 27 professional boxers.

Logan Paul is a rando.

Exactly. Floyd was maybe the best defensive points boxer IN HIS WEIGHT DIVISIONS in history. He was never a KO artist against guys his size as you said, but he mastered the game of not getting hit and landing scoring shots efficiently. Before the exhibition I said there is no way he hurts a 200 pound in shape man and it will be a decision...unless Logan totally gassed in the late rounds and couldn't defend himself and ref stopped it. I was mildly interested to see if the size difference presented any problems to Floyd at 44 and retired for years. It didn't. He has slipped some with age and ring rust as expected, but performed just fine.
