Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time: Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[rrayvez]

If u gonna say that, go mention the guys Floyd fought and WHEN coz u can name ZERO guy he fought at their best, them going to HoF is irrelevant when they didnt fought at their best

you can say they weren’t at their absolute best but Marquez, Cotto, Pac, Canelo, all went on to win world titles in big fights after Floyd beat them. The same goes for non hall of famers he beat with undefeated records like Corrales and Hatton. So it’s not like he was fighting a ghost version of these names like some like to pretend.

Appreciate the kind words. I'm not even the best writer on this site, much less a generation, but who doesn't love a good compliment.

How can a ''cherrypicker'' ALWAYS be mentioned when it comes to greatness ?

Every ATG/HOFer is matched against him (NOT him in his prime, though).
He is even mentioned in the lounge with Serena Williams.

While being the ''best'' to ever do it is impossible to prove, he is definitely in the conversation.
''Purists'' mention some old timey fighters who were sloppy AF
Less rules and more fixed fights...padded stats galore.

5 fights a month MFers

''Step right up and get your boxing license....all you need is a pen.....''

He certainly was the best in his time and since.

Bottomline is Margarito was a duck, so you have to take that into account when comparing to fighters like Usyk.

Prime Margarito at 147 was a nightmare for everyone, certainly at the time, plaster or not. The difference between Mosley and Floyd is thats Floyd does not have that power to scare Margarito, Maidana has proved this.

Also Shane beat Margarito, but Margarito wasn't mentally there that night because of the upheaval. So did he beat the best version of Margarito ??? Clearly not.

riiiiiiiiiight


so, Floyd ducked that plodder Margarito..... but then he fought the guy who nearly killed Margarito.....


and he moved up in weight, to 154..... to fight guys who are LEVELS above that plodder Margarito, like Hoya and Canelo


and yet..... for some reason, you NEEEEEEED call that a duck


you are, another silly pacfan..... aren't you ?






1) how the fk could Plodderito beat Mayweather ? LMAO


2) the guys that Floyd beat at 154, Hoya and Canelo..... would have smashed Plodderito..... just like Mosley did
