Never A Fan Of Floyd, But…

[djtmal]

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'm aware that Floyd was careful in choosing opponents later in his boxing life. Like I said, the fans may not have liked it, but I totally understand. I think he avoided Manny for five years, until he felt Pacquiao lost a step. But to say he chose opponents he could've half trained for is not only an exaggeration, it's also irrelevant. Mayweather was insanely committed to his training, his craft. That's the only point I'm trying to make. I don't believe for a second he slacked on anyone.

He could have half trained and beat:

Berto
Madonna 2x
Guerrero
Ortiz
Lightweight Marquez
38 year old Shane
Raked through the coals Cotto and Manny

He can say he is tbe, but nobody in their right mind is gonna put him no higher than top 25 all time because they understand the level of cherry-picking he was doing

The TBE tag is basically a marketing idea. Floyd may indeed believe it, but few hardcore fans agree. I don’t really care. As for half-training to beat the men you mentioned: I think it’s not only mistaken to say, but disrespectful to both Mayweather and his opponents. Anyone fighting on their level requires serious preparation. And I have zero doubts Floyd wasn’t about to give anyone the slightest chance to beat him — no matter what he actually thought of them as fighters.

- - Without Bayliss to protect l'l floydy, he got BTFU stem to stern, pillar to post by Utuber Logan Paul.

More embarrassing than Vander showing up vs Belfort. At least Belfort was a fighter!
