    Haney was just telling the truth and everyone who's a boxing fan would agree.

      he trained like a machine, he promoted his fights into huge events and earned ridiculous fight purses and people try crap on his resume but with wins over Pacquiao, Canelo and Cotto at 154 they look like dumbasses because his wins top anyones currently active in boxing most of Floyds opponents are HoF hatton jmm oscar etc
      Yeah, this is what I don't get. You can throw Oscar in there with Canelo and Cotto who he moved up to fight.

      His resume poops on any currently in boxing. Who didn't Floyd fight that he should have? Margarito? Paul Williams? Winky? Sergio Martinez?

      A proposed November 12th bout between Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather fell apart as the two met at the Beverly Hills Hotel.


      A good read on the Winky fight. Keep in mind this would have taken place right after his fight with Gatti. Floyd hadn't even fought at welter yet.

        Been saying this for years. Floyd ruined this era of boxing. The "0" is more important than titles and legacy. Just look at Tank and the Charlos.

          That is the biggest myth I've ever heard. Floyd fought almost everyone good in or around all of the weight classes he has ever fought or campaigned in. He took several risks outside of the ring.

          So let's give honor where honor is due. The man was just a once in lifetime great fighter. However, back to Haney's point; He is right. Everyone is protecting their 0. So they can someday be like a Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

          Mayweather, was nothing like Canelo Alvarez though; Who is both a coward and bully. All of his opponents are cherrypicked, weaker, limited and overmatched.

          Today's fighters doesn't like to take risks outside of the ring for fear of losing their titles or undefeated records. So that is why they don't give us boxing fans the fights that we want to see.​

            Let me share something with you. If our roles were reversed. I would t give a fook about your opinion and wouldn’t pursue you.
            You don't have keep showing how ****** you are, go back to the start of you talking to me and see where I asked you to explain what excuses you are talking about that's how fkn simple it was and look where you took it with the insults, there was absolutely no need to even go there but you found a need and now you still avoid it and still cry, you are a fake because a real stand up guy would not do it.

            Everybody in this forum would know by now I have zero tolerance for fckwits that mouth off and run.

              Give us a break lol, he has more titles than anyone and beat the best in his era and more WCs and HOFs than anyone else in his era , his resume is not congruent with what you spin.

                  I’m not the one who is pursuing this conversation. I don’t care if you can’t understand. That’s not my
                  problem. It’s yours.

                    Floyd ruined boxing the way Jordan ruined basketball. The bulk of you are reading into it wrong.
