    I can't decide who'll end up the better fighter, Chad or Andre?
    I've never thought of Ward as a future Mayweather.

    He's more like Hopkins, IMO.

      I'd love to learn how to shoulder roll...

      Anyhow, in my opinion, Ward isn't as naturally gifted as Floyd. At LW, Floyd was a monster.

      What about Dirrell?

            and all that crap. But the truth is , Floyd Mayweather has been the guy to beat since the 90's. Real boxing fans know this.

            No matter what you say or what Pac does in his career, he can not
            be considered the best until he fights and beats Mayweather. Mayweather is the best.
            Thats why he is favored in all of his fights. He will also be favored against Pacquaio.

            Frazier was the champ, but he wasn't the peoples champ. Ali was the peoples champ and Frazier had to beat him in ordrer to get full recognition as heavyweight champ.

            It's the same thing all over again. Pacquaio is the P4P champ, but Mayweather is the peoples champ. You can call me a ***** or whatever you want, but it is what it is.

            Mayweather has been dominating his entire career. No one would be shocked if Mayweather beat Pacquiao. If Pacquiao was to beat Mayweather, that would be a shock. Pacquiao was out boxed by Morrales and knocked out twice. Had two blood wars with Marquez and has been on the canvas several times. Mayweather has never been beat and his only knock downs were from his glove touching the canvas.

            Mayweather vs Mosley was a master piece by Floyd, but all anyone wants to talk about was the 2nd round. That was the big news. Floyd got hurt.
            We are not suprised when Manny gets hurt because he always gets hurt.
            Floyd is the guy to beat and you know it.


            Hopefully the fight can get made. Will Pacquiao step up to the plate
            and challenge the very best fighter of this era, or will he continue to hold on to this false p4p status that he was given but did not earn?

              No fighter has the natural talent that Floyd has.....BUT IT CAN BE LEARNED.....

              Floyd at LW and SFW was a BEAST.....

              Dirrell to me is nothing special.....he's tall, lanky, decent boxing skills....but lacks the biggest thing....Heart.

              Just my opinion

                  I'm not that high on Dirrell neither, I was just asking.

                      So you just chose to engage with certain posters here....and ignore others?

                      Others also thought 1990s meant the whole boxing universe....not just planet Floyd.
