The Floyd Mayweather Appreciation Thread.

Reading is key my friend BARA...

I said best offensive- defensive minded fighter... what that means is like other poster suggested...

He is by his thinking a defensive first fighter like a Whitaker... but has a very good offense as well... Tszyu was an offensive fighter... Freitas was too even though he cared for his defensive... Casamayor was a slick fighter who had defensive skill but I haven't seen him do all the offensive stuff that Mayweather did at times (not 147 anymore though)

you havent seen cas do better offensively?.....compare their kos vs common opponent, corrales.....how many rounds did it take for floyd to stop em?....lol

[jrosales13]

well in my opinion no....how many round did it take for floyd to stop corraless.....it took casa and jlc less than floyd did...freitas beat cassa clearly which i doubt floyd culc' 've done the same.....judah vs tzu.....so offensively i dont agree....

Freitas did not clearly beat Casa.... That was close... And, both Casa and Castillo KO'd Corrales early after Chico had that amazing fight with Castillo... And, lets not forget that Castillo also did not make weight... I don't know what the point of Judah vs Tszyu is? Judah won the first round and got KO'd in the 2nd.,.. Kostya was not showing the best defense in that fight...

Casa is the only one that really comes close to mixing offense and defense but he did not do it as good as Floyd did...

Oscar was a top guy in the division when Floyd fought him.

Really Chicano... You telling ranked #1? Karmazin #2? And, Ouma #3? Where was Dzinziruk and Forrest ranked at the time?

Oscar was not the top guy in the division... He was the biggest name in the division... The biggest money fight in the division... But, not the #1 guy...

No one said he was Number 1. He was Top 3. At worst Top4. He was one of the 4 Champs.

corrales was stopped by casamayor due to a cut in his mouth. casamayor vs freitas could have gone to casamayor.

floyd embarrassed corrales for ten rounds, that was a **** example.

Show me where Oscar was top 3 at 154 at the time...
I am not you means that I don't act like is greater than what it really is when it comes to my favorite... It was not amazing there was nothing amazing about it... it was not a great win... Stop overrating that version of Oscar...

People hate Floyd so much they forget that. He was coming of great KO vs. Mayorga.

He was also WBC Champion.

First I can't believe you going to go with Chicano when it comes to Oscar...

And, really was that a great KO over Mayorga? I mean how great was it? What fight was Mayorga coming off from? And, again you told me Forbes was a year after Floyd... So I am going to ask this wasn't Mayorga a year before Floyd? You completely biased... If Pac would of done this **** you would of called the win for what it really was...

You did not read Chicano saying he was the top guy of the division? What does top guy mean?
