      What these lumps fail to realize is, May would have retired undefeated if he had Pac's line up and he would get criticized for fighting so many shot fighters.

      Strange how hypocritical Pac fans (RIP) are.,

        He is the Richest Fighter this sport has ever seen and I legit think he does take more Pride is that Rather than getting Praise for his Skills in the ring. I think that is one of the reasons why he does get hate because he doesn't care and people in Main Stream Media really hated that no matter what they said about him it was no way they could tear him down or take him down because he did not have a Boss or a Main Stream Endorsement to "Keep Him In Line"

        He truly did it all HIS WAY and I do respect that on top of being one the greatest fighters I've ever witness in the ring. People wasted A Decade hating this man and have ZERO to show for it while after retiring he is enjoying life and haven't gone "Broke" yet as people wished and prayed for during his career.
        Arum was laughing his ass off...''Go ahead and see if you can promote yourself ''

        And he did !

          Yep manny’s run of Vargas-Horn-Lucas-Broner and losing to one of them would be beneath Floyd

          manny took 4 tuneups in a row. When was the last time a modern great did that

              Floyd will get the shine he deserves. He will sit somewhere around 20-30 maybe, its hard to call. Alot of you dont remember Pretty Boy Floyd, had he been able to continue in that vain. Well he would have sat at the top with the true greats, his hands didnt want the smoke though.

              Ill give him credit though, he adjusted and became the bad guy and made hundreds of millions. Floyd, for all his faults was built for milking dumb mfers for cash.

              Anyone who thinks he belongs anywhere near the top ten knows nothing about boxing.

                Someone is supposed to be so good, he's ranked #3 ATG
                If that guy is #3 ATG, May has to be God Level.

                  That doesn't make sense to me, the guys Floyd fought later were better fighters than he fought as PBF, the only difference was PBF was knocking out guys which you pardoned for his brittle hands as he moved up,,,,,, so you're saying you cant clearly outbox better guys its only KOs against lessor guys that count in the big picture,,,,, nothing in you post is congruent.

                    Well, am supposed to believe my eyes or someone Ive never heard of ranking fighters? SRL would have beat Floyd from pillar to post, Tommy Hearns would have made him speak in cursive, Roberto Duran would ground him into sand. He is a great fighter, he is not the best of this generation nor is he even close to the greatest of all time. You can love him all you want. Im almost 50 years into this game and Ill say this, fck your feelings. It doesnt change the fact he would have been smoked by the great fighters of this game.

                      Imho, NO ONE below MW ''batters'' May. Especially anyone from below WW.
                      Not saying SRL or Hearns wouldn't have beaten him (more so SRL). Just saying that shlt would not be easy.
                      Also imho, SRL gets too much love for beating
                      Hagler (barely and in Haglers last fight. When fighters are usually at their worst).
                      Hearns, who lost to Hagler. That Hagler smashes SRL. That's why SRL said ''I will never fight that man (until I'm sure he's done)''
                      1-1 with Duran (who also gets too much credit.
                      And finally, Super Hyped Benitez. Ran up a win streak against some sorry looking opponents
                      Once Benitez reached a certain level, he got exposed.

                      ''One win vs Hearns = 100 May wins !!!!''

                      Ok, ''One win vs ''Green'' Nelo = 100 #3 ATG wins !!!'' if that's the formula.

                      PBF/May schools Duran almost as badly as Hearns did. The Hearns that demolished Duran would get schooled vs PBF. No way do those telegraphed rights land

                      If ''that guy'' is universally considered #3 ATG, May must be God Level.

                      And yes, FCK FEELINGS
