    Fantasy Fight titles May will never win

    Little do they know they are actually contradicting themselves and complementing May at the same time.

    No one cares about #3ATG

    Straight up refused to make a similar thread for Pac

Mayweather's example in my opinion has given rise to the top guys rarely fighting each other and worrying more about money than legacy or seeking out the toughest challenges. Activity is considerably lower, and the financial focus has made it easier for corruption to flourish. I don't fault people for wanting to make money at their chosen sport, but I don't think it's good for the sport to have that come at the expense of having the best wanting to face each other, and the Money Mayweather mentality has certainly killed a lot of the best fights.

      ​​​​​​And in any case, the question wasn't about greatness, per se, but about who would rank where on the admittedly fantasy all time pound for pound list. If weights etc were equal, and you put them in the ring in their primes, who wins?
      Floyd is not responsible for the best not fighting the best. The issue today is multiple promotional outfits and belts. You used have one champ per weight class and fighters had to eliminate each other to get the number one contender spot for a title shot. That's not the case anymore. Different promotional outfits have different belts and mostly stage in-houses fights protect those belts.

      It is only when there is too much money to pass up then they're ready to make cross-promotional fights.

        Not as much as who they beat and when they beat them, that's why the majority always gives Floyd no chance against a Srl.

            I don't start these threads I just post in them like everybody else.

            As many times as this type of thread has been made, you cry babies should be cool with the majority choosing guys like Srl over him for obvious reasons.

            I keep telling you if Floyd would have just beat the best guys in their prime he would have more favorable outcomes in these type threads.

              .
              Your Pac vs Actual Legends thread would get destroyed, if you had the nerve to make one

              ''May hasn't beaten anyone''
              ''May paid for his W's''
              ''May won't leave LV.''

              YET......

                Yes he is.. He is P4P no 1 on boxingscene which must count for something

                Who is the greater fighter Marco Antonio Barrera or Pacquiao

                OR Desert storm head Timothy Bradley or Pacquiao

                OR Naseem Hamed and Pacquiao

                sweet pea or Pacquiao who was the greater boxer if Pacquiao wins atLeast 3 of these match ups I will grudgingly move him up to 68th place in greatest 100 fighters. If he just wins 1/2 match ups he stays in 98th place

                  YET,
                  There are more May threads, BY FAR, than Pac threads
                  And in those threads, it's usually May vs ATG/HOFers

                  Go figure

                    Pac had as many WW+ fights as May, YET, no one wants to match Pac with WW greats

                    And I don't want to hear about how Pac ''USED TO BE a puny guy'' bullshlt.

                    He wasn't a puny guy when he beat Sometime, was he

                      Hold up (I didn't read this bit the 1st time)

                      Pac was not p4p #1 when he and May were both active.

                      May was
