Why PBF can never be a ATG!!!!!

[hugh grant]

go up tp 154 to beat De La Hoya and gain 6th world championship

have the highset selling boxing PPV in history

knock out Ricky Hatton while he was undefeated

come back after a two year layoff and dominate the #2 p4p guy

and have the first PPV to do a million PPV buys in 2009

But he beat the undefeated hatton at 147, with home advantage and having a good talk to the referee before the fight to tell the ref to make sure he protects him from hatton. Hatton was basically fighting in Germany against Floyd.
Picture hatton trying to beat Sven Ottke! PBF will not get any credit for beating Hatton. He put all the advantages in his favour to get the victory. But i still picked Hatton but i knew it was going to be really hard to overcome PBF with all the advantages he had. I underestimated PBF at the time.

Both fighter are now being considered cream of the crop why would you think PBF will not become ATG?.

They will be the Leonard/Duran/Hearns/Hagler of this era...

Actually i dont think PBF will be a high ATG like Pac. I do think he is an ATG. Read my first post in this thread.

Yes a guy who has been a Top 8 P4P fighter 12 out of the 14 years hes been a pro is NOT an ATG.

Gotcha.

[Vasyl’s dad]

you sound kinda silly to be completely honest.

Floyd and Manny are about to fight EACH OTHER, what's the fuss?

lol. Morons like this guy actually believed that Floyd really wanted to fight Manny.

Now, they're more interested in blood tests, than an actual fight.

But its more smoke and mirrors. He did well to get his name established, and then he lived off of his name. He didnt fight often, (therefore didnt lose) and just automatically stayed there. Just like his recent comeback from retirement, he has been no2 without doing anything. But hes quite right been taking off now.

Just like fedor been champ for 1o years. He only stretched that out that long cos he went years without actually fighting hardly.

Youve bumped this thread up again. I think you realize i dont make many threads so am not a troll or fanboy.

Yes because Fedor sucks and was never actually dominant.

['Sugar' Freddi]

Of course he's an ATG but not ranked higher than Pac, at least until now. Still not over.

Ofcourse you didnt say " that manny really wanted to fight Floyd".

He waited for quite some time for somebody to mention his name but to no avail. So, Ms. Gayweather got tired of waiting took upon himself to proclaim without blinking an eye that he's an ATG.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned his way into Canastota before he even went to 140. If you look at his hit list at 130 and 135, he didn't avoid anyone and took on every challenge, save for Joel Casamayor and Acelino Freitas.

I think some of his trepidation may have come about after he fought DeMarcus Corley and was stunned in his first fight at 140 and realized, "Hey, these bigger guys hit hard."

His career hasn't been as fulfilling as some would hope, but he still proved that he was at least the second best of his generation (and best if he fights Pacquiao and wins).
