I know it hurts you deeply, I know you cry at night thinking about it and wake up to nightmares of the day Floyd pounded your mom and wouldn't call you daddy like you asked him to but let it go. Deal with his legendary status because there is NOTHING you can do to change it.
    Legends do legendary things and don't make excuses about why he can't fight this guy or that guy.

    Floyd is not a legend. A highly skilled fighter with a carefully crafted career, but hes not legendary. You save that for fighters who do extraordinary things even in the face of adversity.

    Floyd does his best to avoid the adversity at all costs.

      If you look at all the legendary fighters throughout boxing, they all have a lot of things in common with each other that differentiates them from floyd. They all have that aura, glow, & excitement whenever they step in the ring. They have losses because they took on other great legendary fighters unlike Floyd jr. They captivate, move, & excite fans for what they do INSIDE the ring. They are respected, feared, loved, revered, & NOT HATED like floyd jr.


      Lets take a look at Floyd jr.;


      Has he faced a true great legendary fighter in their prime?

      NO. He hasnt faced a great legendary fighter period.

      Has he had a legendary exciting fight?

      NO.


      How legendary is he when he's headlining a card people are booing his ass before, during & after the fight & have people walking out of the arena before the fight is even over.

      There's a reason why Floyd jr. has a international & universal reputation as a cherry picking ducker who is scared to lose his undefeated record & only fights non threatening opponents instead of threatening opponents the fight fans want to see.



      So what has he done to qualify for legendary status?
      What has manny pacsteroid has doen to get legendary status beat past prime fighters?

            It's an absurdity for someone to question someone's legedendary status when they break ppv records and dominate their opposition the way Mayweather has.

            I know some tool will start bitching about me mentioning ppv records but the fact of the matter is when you talk about the excitement a fighter brings to the sport, the best way to measure that is the consistent numbers they bring in.
            I suggest that he may "stand out in 20 years" more like Sven Ottke rather than like Ray Leonard.........

              exactly.


              You have to do something legendary, face a legendary boxer, or do something legendary in the ring.

              Floyd has done none of those things but because he's a loud american who claims he's so great he must be.


              Notice how *****s use the ppv records as legendary. Brittney Spears has sold millions of records. Does that make her a legendary musician?

                      When Mayweather messed up both his hands against Carlos Hernandez, did he not face adversity? When both Corley and Mosley had him hurt, didn't he face adversity? What about when he rematched JLC? You're so fucking ****** man.
