Comments Thread For: Crawford Has No Plans on Trying To Beat Mayweather's 50-0 Record: 'He Can Have That'

[Roadblock]

No version of Floyd Mayweather beats Willie Pep or Sugar Ray Robinson. Hell, I don't think he beats Sugar Ray Leonard or Thomas Hearns, either.

I think people forget what "all time" means...

Wille Pep god dam, go and count the loses of his opponents it adds up to more than the wins, you realise there is a truck load and I mean majority of guys like Harold McKeever , 16 win , 13 loses 1 draw, Tony Tibbs 45 wins 43 loses 3 draws. when people talk this BS its nothing more than name-dropping, many had lost there last 5 or more fights going into Pep, actually go and really go through the resume.

That record is pure non-sense, and it's hyped up by all the Mayweather groupies. I'm not going to punish fighters for going undefeated with way more wins than Mayweather because they decided to continue fighting instead of retiring. Jimmy Wilde went 93-0, Chavez went 89-0, McFarland 70-0, Pep 62-0, Jimmy Berry 59-0, Ricardo Lopez 51-0 ect ect. Way more impressive....

None of them retired undefeated or without a blemish. That's the point of the record.

Yet, Pep was fight every two weeks.. and came.back to fight after being in a plane crash..

Floyd is great, one of the greatest. But when someone says Floyd is THE greatest, it shows their lack of historical understanding.

I see you only chose to mention one of the four fighters I said would beat Floyd.

It's not name dropping; it's respecting the greats that came before Floyd.

You can only fight trash every two weeks remember that it's impossible to fight great fighters more than two times a year that's just the law of the jungle, anybody that has 100s of pro fights fought a vast majority of ordinary guys.

I don't believe there is a greatest of all time that's fan BS, I believe there is a group of ATGs that are so close to each other in their own unique way that if they were all the same weight any could beat the others on their night and that's why I don't think one is the best as that's an insult to all the other greats, it's an Island the greats are on in a very large Ocean of competitors, instead of ass kissing one by trying to deflate another I praise them all, I love boxing and hate haters.

Nobody who steps on the ring is "trash". They may be "F" class, but trash? I mean, not everyone can be a world beater.

I do agree that no one is the G.O.A.T; it's not possible to measure. It is possible to measure an era, an Floyd was the greatest of his era, for sure. But even then, you have fighters in other divisions who were dominate who don't get mentioned because of Floyd's accomplishments.

It's a beautiful, hideous sport, and each competitor deserve respect for participating.
