        Im sorry but there was NEVER a fighter with the skills and mindset of Floyd...tactical fighters like willie pep couldnt fight ugly fights, and they threw him off his game...Floyd handled hatton well

          He is one of the more complete fighters ever. He doesn't rely on simply one aspect, you can't take 1 thing from him and make him an inferior fighter. He's a master of all trades, and a jack of none.

                BJ Penn wishes he was half as good as James Toney.

                  Toney had led feet. That was a huge flaw.

                    Very true, he had really good offense to defense and vice versa, but it's clear he needed more than just that.

                      Mayweather is not the most "Anything Ever", you silly goop, along with all the other immature silly goops. There are literally dozens of fighters in the past who could eat him raw, and swallow him whole. As has been mentioned before, in the 1920's 30's and 40's there were twice as many boxers registered in New York City as there are now in the whole world.

                      And, considering that there were only 8 weight classes with same day weigh-in, a fighter who would hold the title for 2-3-4-5-6 years or more, and would have had over 100 fights doing it, would have to have been one hell of a fighter. Nowadays, in "Mayweather time" if a fighter pulls a muscle or strains an ankle, the fight is postoned. Then they fought through it and had 15-20 rd title fights.
