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

[Brassangel]

lol @ all the butthurt responses

floyd = #1 p4p, wheter you want to admit it or not

Whether you like it or not, you are dumb.

And Mayweather is still #2.

Unless Mayweather agrees to go down to 140 or 135, the fight with Pac will be the same as JMM and Hatton. Not because Floyd is some kind of amazing, but because of size.

"2 inches and 4 pounds" he says, but it's all about the frame and how they carry it. Mayweather's been carrying 147 around for years. He also bulked up quite nicely at that weight (as he was painfully larger than JMM in the ring). These two aren't used to carrying that weight around and shouldn't have to.

Pac is the better, more exciting fighter, but he would lose a fight to Mayweather for the above stated reasons.

Mayweather needs to be fighting Cotto and Mosley. If he fights them both, win or lose (or gets into a trilogy with one of them), I would have more respect for him than if he fights Pacquaio. What people will scream for is not necessarily the best thing for the sport and the legacies of the sport's champions.

Sure he is. He's like Roger Clemens going back to the minors for rehap. Only thing Mayweather has had so much fun playing with minor league competition that he rathers stay there and be king than move up and get stinged.

WOW this was the most fair and accurate assessment I've seen in a while on this site I'm glad there is at least one writer at boxingscene who is a fan of the Sport and not a Fighter. Great work

A fan of the sport, yet he doesn't want to see fmm v ssm?

Doesn't sound like a fan of the sport to me.

What do you want me to say Sharmba Mitchell and Baldomir? There you go.

Still doesnt change the fact that hes the best fighter in the world. Lol your wasting your time.

Now I see why you have a bag over your head.

Most talented boxer in the world. Pretend we all stipulate that he is the best boxer in the world. List what he has done currently in the division he calls home? Don't go all the way back to lightweight. I'm talking about recently...

Still havent answered my question.....

Thats your whole argument? List what he has done currently in the division he fights in? We all know what he has and hasnt done at WW. We all know what we want to see him do. Like somewhere along the line he just stopped being the best in your mind because he didnt fight who you wanted in the last fight. Thats fine to think that if you want but it still doesnt change the fact that he is still the best boxer in the world.

Seriously,Pac has a very good chance of KOing Floyd.I noticed a ***** in Floyd's style during the JMM fight.Pac has the speed,footwork,power,and reflexes to evade alot of Floyd's punches and catch Floyd coming in with that leaping left hook he likes to throw.Anytime PBF opens up to throw a punch he's gonna be in danger of getting hurt.Thats the perfect set-up for a str8 left from Pac which would most likely knock PBF on his ass.Hell,JMM countered that leaping hook a few times and he isn't near as fast or powerful as Pac.Floyd didn't look as fast as he was against Hatton and thats gonna get him hurt trying to be pretty.The key is gonna be PBF's awesome defense,slightly slower speed,and counterpunching vs Pac's awesome speed,power,and counterpunching.IMO,Pac's KO of Hatton was a better example of counterpunching than any of PBF's KOs.Pac is still #1 and will go down in history more glorious than Floyd due to the level of competition and willingness to fight the best.

Just like it doesn't matter that the Cavaliers are the best basketball team in the world,

even though they couldn't beat the Orlando Magics.

Cavs lost to the Magic. Floyd didnt lose a fight. I get what you were trying to say but its a bad analogy since it didnt happen.

You're like a kid on Ritalin, you talk in circles. I think he is the most talented boxer in the world, not the best boxer in the world, understand the distinction?

One thing is to be blessed with tremendous talent, it's an entirely different thing when you simply refuse to test that talent against the best in your division. You rate him as the best boxer in the world, according to your own prior comments, because let's see....he beat Zab Judah (who was giving him a tough time for the first 3-4 rounds of that fight) we all know how Judah turned out, he beat Hatton (a career Jr. Welterweight), he beat De La Hoya on a split decision (a part time boxer/promoter who fought once a year and still did well enough for the first half of there fight), before that he took on a murderers row in the form of future HOF'er Sharmbe Mitchell and who could forget the golden child Henry Bruseles. Please whatever your smoking puff, puff and pass.

It doesnt matter who he fights. haters like you will ALWAYS downplay EVERYONE he beats.

Still waiting on that answer....
