Is Mayweather the most well-rounded fighter ever?

christ
you literally have to read one line of some of these posts to tell who is a complete idiot
we ought to start making you guys wear scarlet "I's"


you do not know boxing.
even worse, you go at it with a sense of entitlement

You do know Robinson avoided Burley though.....

[Brother Jay]

no he didnt

you dont know what the hell you are talking about, again
please watch tommy hearns fight at 154 and 160
still a monster


how you guys can even open your mouths when such ****** stuff comes out?

Oh but in *****ville having offense is BAD. Everything is turned on it's head and the Red Queen has proclaimed night day and day night.

Because all they know is Floyd and Floyd is all.....welcome to the Lewis Carroll world of abject nuthuggery.

it's a bizarre place and i'm not sure how much longer i can stand it

i wish the history section wasn't so barren for these slow days at work,


this thread is so much more harmful than good

All these replies and the best any of you can bring up concerning the sweet science is "nuthuggery"?

And you call yourself fans?

Its called "boxingscene" not "insultscene".

If all you have to offer when discussing boxing is insulting people and not backing up a SINGLE THING YOU WRITE, then you're a peasant and a troll.

Peasant = bankrupt of the mind

Troll = pushing an agenda through sheer disruption and childish antics(i.e. emoticons, gifs, insults, strawman arguments)

And I love larry Holmes.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but I don't think Floyd has slowed down at all. He has just employed a different fighting plan in order to be more crowd pleasing. He hasn't lost any foot/hand speed or coordination at all. In fact, one could argue that he is at his best right now.

Roy at his best was better than Floyd at everything and didn't basically lose to a B+ fighter like Castillo in his prime.

You're still confusing athleticism with ring generalship. Manny Pacquiao boxed the shit out of a stiff like David Diaz and Margarito because his athleticism allowed it. It doesn't make him a ring general or a pure boxer.

...and whats this about employing a more crowd pleasing fight plan? Mayweather has gotten more defensive as he has gotten older and moved up in weight, he no longer fights like he used to.

Yes he did.

Compare the times he was hurt., and KTFO to when he was fighting the smaller welterweights, please.

Make Hearns the same size as Ray Leonard and Leonard would have smoked him. Ray Leonard is a great example of a well-rounded fighter.

you know that robinson revolutionized "fighting for the money?"


if you think burley was avoided simply on the merits that he's a better fighter than ray robinson you are sorely mistaken

Spinning away again in Deep Throat Floydville. Dude. You can try and change definitions into their antipodes, you can try and redefine flaws as virtues, but the only thing you're doing is engaging the spin cycle. It's typical nuthugger behavior: You can see it with the Klitlickers, you can see it with the *******s. And you can see it when *****s like yourself try to same damn BS you ***** about your rival nuthuggers doing. Spare the spin for someone who doesn't know any better.

Hearns was knocked out three times in his career. One was at Welterweight and two were at Middleweight. That's hardly a huge difference from one to the other. Jesus Christ people.

Then why would Ray say "I'm too pretty for him to fight me"

And hurt many more times compared to when he was fighting the small welters.
