    That's odd. Why does Roger Mayweather talk so much **** about Eddie Futch? For Floyd, Sr. most of his talk is just playing around. But Roger really hates Eddie Futch.

        I was rather disappointed at Roger's bashing of Futch. The man isn't even around to defend himself. Very classless.

          What do you all make of that?

          I never saw any of the Norton fights or the Spinx fight.
          just fight hype don't take him serious man.

            I don't understand it myself. Futch was one of the best trainers in history.

              Floyd is my dude, but Ali would beat the **** out of floyd...And Ali fought much more dangerous opponents than floyd...folks talk all that these new fighters are better than the ones from the past, but forget these guys came out fighting 15 - 20 up to 100 round fights... Tell me who can do that these dasy besides Floyd, but can Floyd move like Ali? Can Floyd take teh punishment Ali took? Nope... and for the record Sugar Ray Leonard, Robinson and Hagler woudl have murdered Mayweather...That's my dude but when you start speaking on Ali, you are stepping way out of your lane...

                Why? Because he is a heavyweight? It seems like being an unbeaten 5-division champion should be better than being an occasionally beaten 1-division champion. Heavyweights always seem to get treated differently though, and most people's P4P greatest lists seem to have an unreasonable number of heavyweights listed (probably because it has historically been the most famous and glamorous division).

                  I agree that Ali did overcome more adversity, but it isn't Floyd's fault that there is nobody out there that the people think will beat him.

                    Ali came back from a three and a half year layoff and fought a top five heavyweight.Mayweather came back from a year and a half layoff to fight a lightweight at a catchweight that he didn't even have the decency to honor.

                      No,because he beat every worthy contender of his era....something Mayweather has failed to do.
