    I rest my case.
    You're right, that's a revelation for TS.

    Robinson, The Goat of his time and of all time fought so many times because he had to, because the paycheck wasn't as big and more frequent fighting was required, imagine that. What? SRL wasn't just a pure warrior who wanted to fight the best every month of the year regardless of money. Shocking!!!

          He ruins boxing because he dont just sign the dotted line and fight. The amount of talking he has to do before agreeing to a fight ruins boxing. Its such a commotion just to decide who he is going to fight and so much drama attached to it.
          Im sure things used to be simpler.

He has stated that he doesn't give a **** arse about legacy, and all he is interested in is money. We now get boxers like Tim Bradley and Amir Khan going the same way. These people won't fight the best guys out there and Don't care about their fans. Money talks and it is not good for boxing. Miguel Cotto is the truth in boxing as he will fight anybody. Just my opinion.
            Sorry but this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It doesn't count as an opinion cause it is so blatanly false. And I'm not even a ***** or whatever other dumb names there are. I mean to say he has ruined boxing? I love this sport, I read up on it everyday, watch a lot of fights every week, read books, I love the sport, but even I can admit that if boxing is ruined its because ofcrooked promoters and tons of belts and all that **** is what "ruined" boxing.

                Floyd has been at 147 for five years now. The best boxers at the weight over that time have been: Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, Paul Williams, Collazo and more recently Pacman. How many of those names does Floyd have on his resume in five years? Yes 1 in a 38 year old Mosley. I'm sorry but if you call yourself the greatest of all time? Floyd's Resume stinks at 147. Retired while the others fight each other. Then come back to fight a midget in Marquez? an old man in Mosley? Sorry to disappoint you but that is a ****ty resume at 147. Floyd thinks he is the G.O.A.T. Sorry but he is nowhere near the top 20 of all time.

                      Yeah, Mayweather is surely the first guy to care more about money than his legacy.

                      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.
