Floyd Mayweather Jr. DOES NOT QUALIFY for Legendary Status

[Mrmza]

Agree 100%. Floyd ain't nothing but a ducker. Who takes a year off from fights he's won convincingly? I can't remember anybody else doing that in boxing!

[jaestix1]

hold on.....didn't floyd just beat the **** outta shane mosley? and people are still complaining about his opponet selection? do people really think floyd was afaid of miguel cotto? floyd as already reached legendary status.....top 40 atg and a hof'er.....nobody now from 154 to 140 would beat him.

Well in my opinion there isn't. Go and watch floyds fights and compare them with his contemporaries in Leonard and Whitaker. Whitaker is a real "metal" fighter, whereas Mayweather is a cheap "plastic" rip off in comparison.

Forgot to say,

Whitaker and Leonard aren't Floyd's contemporaries, FWIW. They are fighters from previous eras/generations.


I'm a huge Whitaker fan, so I don't need to school myself in his body of work. Whitaker and Leonard's career trajectories and fight catalogues are utterly unalike, too, LOL.

Each man has forged their own distinct Legend, with Floyd continuing to do so for as long as he remains active.

floyd's ability to duck fights by retiring is legendary

Well Whitaker is a similar fighter, thats the better word to use I think. I just put him in my post to show that floyd currently, does not match up to him.

I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me who and how anybody 140-154 willbeat a bumlike Floyd Mayweather inquiring minds would like to know.

That was not my argument. The context was the greatness of whitaker, in relation to the thread topic. Floyd's a cheap "plastic" rip off in comparison.

We can make a separate thread about fantasy matches.
