Maybe 20-30 years ago Floyd would be appreciated but...

[joartcc5]

Gatekeepr? Man, keep that shyt moving. Floyd showed he is damn good. He would've been a beast in any era. I believe he has the skills to prove this. I don't think anyone decapitates Floyd, he's just too good. The boxers you named would've had a good chance of beating him but destroying him, man that shyt is straight ridiculous.

Proving against whom?

Baldomir? Judah? JMM at 144 then proceeds to not make weight?

Are your brains properly functioning dude.

Seriously.

We are talking about Pryor, Arguello, SRR and Hearns here to name a few.

Were not talking about cowards and ducks here.

Or maybe you wanna see Gayweather fight Calderon at a catchweight of 160 next?

[joartcc5]

He became more selective of his opposition after the Castillo fights, before that though he was fighting top 10 guys in his division on a regular basis.

That.

But then again for someone to claim he's better than Ali and he's posing a resume of Baldomirs, Judahs and bloated JMM's...

That's quite... what would be the term...

IGNORANT and WISHFUL THINKING

[-GR -]

I love the hate. Floyd beats the lineal champs at every weight class except 140 because Kostya denied him and Hatton turned him down twice. When hatton finally accepts (Hatton is normally bigger than floyd) people use the fact it was at ww to discredit him.

Of course floyd would be better appreciated years ago. This is the internet generation where everyone has the attention span of a mouse.

Hopkins fought a bloated Winky and people claim he's one of the best of all time. In fact most of B-Hops best wins are all smaller guys in Tito, DLH and Pavlik.

At 147 duran and hearns wouldn't touch floyd

Yes it is. Recognize his skill set. Would I like for him to take more chances, yea. Does he fight under his ability most of the time, yes. What I'm saying is he has the skills. I don't think Floyd would ever get ran over by any fighter. He wouldn't be able to throw a couple of punches here and there and get away with that against those ATG's you stated. He would forced to let his hands go. Floyd fights smart. He breaks the opponents body down. I'm just saying from what I've seen from Floyd he would've been good in any era.
Pryor just happens to be my favorite fighter and he wouldn't run through him in my opinion, but I will be honest. I think Pryor takes the decision.

I recognize skillsets against proper opposition.

Get some common sense.

Greats beat greats.

Gayweather's resume is full of crap.

And lets get this straight, you're giving credit to Gayweather for fighting a guy 2-3 classes below him, add the fact that he didnt make weight and bloated to as much as 160.

Your brains must not be functioning dude.

Get off the gas mayne. Common sense is not an opinion. i don't base my opinion on this one fight. I base it on his career as a whole. He's that good you need to realize that. I do agree you with about his opposition. He reminds me of Roy Jones Jr. He's that damn good, but he doesn't go after all challengers as a SRL would.

160, probably not. Maybe 152-5 but 160? He isn't Cotto. Or how about 170 for Clottey? Floyd's been outweighed by 10lbs or more in the ring before, ie De la Hoya, Castillo just to name a few. Size wouldn't have mattered in the outcome anyway. His defense and speed were too great.

It's not that Mayweather's skills are not appreciated, most fans just don't appreciate the way he picks his fights. I mean Whitaker is very appreciated today and in his time because of his skills and because he fought and beat the best there was, that was during the Tyson craze.

But Whitaker never had and Mayweather probably never will have the rabid fan following that a guy like Pacquiao has because of their styles.

Those of us that liked Pea enjoyed the run and were proud to be fans and that is enough. Floyd is every ****ing bit as good as he says he is and if that much skill don't bring fans than there is no answer.

There is an answer, fight the best fighters there are to fight. I guarantee that the amount of people who talk negatively about him will decrease if he does that and his amount of fans will go up.
