I mean let’s be honest with ourselves. His resume is absolutely garbage. All his big wins are over big names who were old and on their way out the door. Oscar, Mosley, Cotto, Pacquaio were all shells of themselves. 0 credit there. He fought Judah coming off a loss rather than the guy who beat Judah. Made Canelo fight 16 pounds below his current weight. He lost twice clearly, Madaina 1 and Castillo 1. He ducked prime Margarito, Williams, Winky, Pac. His best wins are Hatton and Corrales. He made Hatton jump up a weight class. Corrales spent training camp knowing he was going to prison after the fight. Mentally he had to be off. You just can’t compare mayweather to the all time greats. People who fought legitimate threats, and weren’t always sure of victory.
Floyd IS the greatest of all times.
UNDEFEATED across 20+ years in the pro game,
champion across 5 different weight classes,
people don't realize that Floyd was ducked by all the big guys when they were on top,
it wasn't until they fell off & Floyd came up that people wanted to fight him.
Shane had a tooth issue & a vacation planned,
Cotto was too green according to Arum,
Tszyu was injured then lost to Hatton & Floyd then whooped Hatton's ass,
Floyd called out everybody by name including Casamayor, Freitas, Hatton, De La Hoya etc
he fought Judah because we all know Judah was the bigger fight,
Judah lost a tactical bout,
style wise he was still the more difficult fight to take due to his mix of speed & power.
Chico was at the height of his career, he was as good as he ever was,
You can look, search, scavenge, pillage & keep hunting for ways to knock him but it wont work.
Floyd was a POWER PUNCHER in his natural weight,
he was 18-0, 15 KO's when he beat Chicanito.
Chicanito was the only one who gave Floyd a shot
all these guys you claiming Floyd ducked didn't want to fight Pretty Boy Floyd,
but they lined up for Money Mayweather.
Floyd offered Pacquiao 50-50 before Pacquiao fought Clottey & before Floyd fought Shane,
he said take it now because 50-50 is no longer being offered to you if my fight sells more than yours does.
it did.
therefore, the 50-50 was out, hence the negotiation war began & Konckz/Arum sabotaged the whole deal.
he didn't duck no damn Plastercheato lol you are out of your mind?
Boxing isn't about giving gifts, you gotta beat the big names to get the big names,
he was on the radar once he attempted that murder on Cotto,
he was bounced right back off the radar once Shane handled that, simple.
Kyvelos, Santos & Cintron ain't gonna get you Floyd lmao,
Cotto would've gotten him a Floyd fight had he not gotten destroyed by Mosley right afterwards.
Williams got his head boxed off by Carlos Quintana stop it,
Winky is a solid name but a career 154lb'er who was naturally way bigger, 2 different trajectories.
truth is De La Hoya still had one left against Floyd & he showed it.
You diminish fighters so easily it's crazy to me.
this sport is unforgiving,
look at guys like Gerald McClellan, Magomed Abdusalamov & Prichard Colon,
that could've been Floyd,
but no,
this kid not only avoided that fate he remained unblemished for over 20 years,
also changed the sport for the better in how the politics are conducted,
fighters are paid way more nowadays by taking the Mayweather approach.
He serves as a blue print for all fighters in all stages of their careers,
you can look at Floyd & see an example of things being done the right way,
from the hungry up & comer to the retired exhibitions,
he's an instruction manual for fighters on how to do things right when it comes to the sport of Boxing as a whole,
an impact I have yet to see ANYONE mimic with such success.
He's even defeated more different past or present world champions than SRR did despite all of those fights SRR had
he's an anomaly to the sport,
if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.Comment

So what made Cotto not shot because he didn't skip breakfast? Maybe thats why the asterisk is there?
Oh I know why because Floyd fought him after Manny, so if you said he was shot Cotto, you would be admitting he was shot when Floyd fought him, but we already know he was shopworn when Floyd fought him. Thats a big reason why Floyd is overrated.Last edited by djtmal; 09-14-2022, 01:04 PM.Comment
