Learn To Love it Floyd Mayweather Jr. is Still No. 1

[tesla_power]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the devil.

Without dipping my toe into the message boards and other fan forums since the final bell of his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez Saturday night/Sunday morning, I can pretty much assume that as a prevailing sentiment.

But you know what?

He's a real-life Satan incarnate who can, ahem... fight like hell.

In pitching an absolute, complete and comprehensive shutout of Marquez – the critics' pre-comeback choice as the world's No. 2 fighter – in his first ring action since 2007, the Pretty Boy now known as "Money" has answered one question with dominant certainty.

He, and not Manny Pacquiao or any other 21-month stand-in, is the world's best fighter.

Don't believe it?

Watch the tape. Or re-watch it, as the case may be.

And over the course of 36 minutes, find me one thing that says otherwise.

One flaw. One error.

One ***** in the armor that truly indicates – regardless of the fact different styles make different fights – Pacquiao will do any better when he gets his chance next year.

But before you do, though, I'll save you all a little time.

Don't bother.

It doesn't exist.

Nowhere in a stretch of 12 rounds did Marquez do one specific thing or take one specific tack that caused the unflappable 32-year-old even a moment's worth of consternation. [details]

I could have sworn this writer is the equivalent to ronnie on pac minus "the philippines national hero". Or he could share that title with Kevin Iole. Totally ignoring the WEIGHT and height advantage, drawing parallels between pbf-dlh and pbf-jmm, no error for the entire fight, etc...

Wow another blanket statement, who is this "rational" group you speak of Einstein? Dan Rafael, Dougie Fischer and Bert Sugar certainly must not be part of this "rational" group you speak of. I mean after all they just write about things for a living, must be a hobby or something all share.

Lol go find some more red k buddy and we can talk then.

Look its not only my opinion. Damn near everyone who is rational thinks so.

LOL. Marvelously ******ed statement.


But you know I'm right.

Beating little guys is ok, beating most at your weight is fine, but I feel that FM can't hardly pass himself off as the "Best" until he starts beating bigger fighters.
I mean, Marquez moved up until he never really made the contracted weight. Paquiao is heading the same way. There is no doubt about the risks and the danger involved with this method, but there is also no doubt about people's satisfaction with these fighters and thier efforts. There is a glory attained, for the fighter that lasts in the collective memory. Take a chance Floyd, and earn some fans. Go for the gold instead of the Lucre. Money is spent and wasted, but glory goes on.
Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Bob Foster, Jose Napoles, Alexis Arguello. The list goes on of men who drowned themselves in glory fighting bigger foes.
I don't remember how much money they had, but I sure remember those wars.

Once again a brilliantly articulated response by Captain Simple Jack. Wow you have a green bar next to your name...awesome.

FYI- You're not even good at dodging questions and seems like your getting killed here for your brilliant commentary, or lack thereof. Keep up the good work Captain.

i guess Lyle Fitzsimmons totally ate that fight up...i'm surprised he had time to put his pom poms down and write his post fight article

lyle fitzsimmons is the american version of ronnie nathanielz.

expect him to start calling leonard ellerbe , the charming and lovely mrs. mayweather.

Say what you want but it still doesnt change the fact that Floyd is the best fighter in the world.

NOT based on the JMM fight, surely you aren't that dumb ?

I could have sworn Mayweather beat a bigger Oscar at 154? I guess it just doesnt count because were talking about Floyd here.

Don't waste your time on Captain Simple Jack.
