    He is definitely the first guy that hasn't faced all the opponents that he should have.

    Boxing's first mega superstar, Jack Dempsey, fought ALL of the top guys at heavyweight.

    Boxing was suddenly ruined in the 2000s by Mayweather. Can you imagine if Sugar Ray Robinson said that boxing was a business for him, and that he didn't enjoy it, but fought for the money? Can you imagine if he was a prima donna in negotiations? What if he priced himself out of a fight and proclaimed himself "too pretty" to fight that opponent? No way would that happen. Or if Sugar Ray Leonard was a prima donna in negotiations?
    Floyd is ruining boxing by doing things that no one else has ever done before.

      I agree, some people are just gullible, blind to the fact that a great fighter has to have genuine principles, like a great knight should be.

        I got green karma from the thread starter, which means that my sarcasm was not obvious enough. Or the thread starter himself was being sarcastic.
