    Tank was built by Mayweather and his followers. His biggest fight was with a Golden Boy fighter who brought the numbers and buyers with his social media influence.

    Canelo was 22 and weight drained. Floyd insisted that Tank at 25 was too young for Loma and that "he will be 40 eventually" when aske if they would fight him.

    You are easily led by your bias and ignorance. It's easy to see why.
    They were both undefeated and ranked as one of the 10 best in the sport.

    Ok. Tank sold out arenas before Ryan. He is the 2nd biggest non hwt draw in America.

    Ok. Canelo was on Floyd’s undercards. That is how In part he was built. The other is you pivoting to something that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

    Everything I posted was a fact that isnt changed or altered by any bias I may have.

      Not sure, his early career was before my time. But he definitely didn’t fight everyone he could have. Froch would have beaten him toward the end for suree

        Undefeated doesn’t mean much if you are untested or weight drained.

        You’re a shameless fanboy of promoters and managers. It’s an odd fetish but not surprising on here.

          That is what good promoters do- they promote the fight to maximize viewers and ppv purchases. Youre mad that his team did their jobs welll?

          Oh yeah- I forgot. Its Haymon and his staff. We all know why this makes you upset.
          Those guys were good at cherrypicking the least amount of risk for the highest reward. 30 percent risk or less was the battle cry apparently

            This is you lying as usual. Corrales was elite and top 5 pound for pound at the time.

              Corrales fought almost three more years in the same division and won another belt there against Joel Casamayor. So that's another lie from you.

                The big fight Saturday night was excellent for the sport. Hats off to both men. This is what boxing is supposed to be about. But I should mention one thing about Floyd. His “TBE” moniker was always about marketing. I don’t know if he ever believed it himself, but he used wisely it to promote himself. You may not like him as a fighter, but the hundreds of millions he’s worth prove his business acumen.
                No question. Floyd is one of the ATG’s in my view, not “the best ever”, but he is without a doubt the best businessman in boxing history. There may be better boxers in the past (Ali), may be better now or in the future. None will likely surpass his business savvy and wealth.

                  Buisness savy lmao

                  he literally came back from retirement because a con man named three coma joe, told him he could make 15 million dollars into a billion, and impressed Floyd because he rented rolxes and hookers to trick him

                  Floyd is a well known certified dumbass. Like close to ******ed. But a great fighter who was obsessed with only picking opponents only when he knew he could beat them, at least for the latter part of his career

                  Also Floyd aint an ATG

                    So you really need to research that man's resume. It's a who's who of top tier champions.

                    Arguably the only one who I felt beat him was B-Hop, and the Manfredo stoppage was BS. Other than that, Calslappy dispatched the TOP guys he was confronted with - and Froch was not on that list at that time.

                      Great fighter, better businessman. I was never a Floyd fan, per se, but I always recognized his ability. Anyone who doesn’t is a straight hater. But in recent times I’ve come to respect Mayweather even more as an indomitable force that deserves to be emulated in many ways. “Hard work and dedication” is not just a slogan with him. He lives it. More of us can learn from that.
