No I don't give Floyd all the credit and is career has been two fold....early on Floyd was the best talent boxing had seen in years.....he also was the most avoided fighters prior to DLH giving him a break...no big names wanted to fight Mayweather because he was to dangerous and didn't generate a ton of cash, but boxing heads had him pound for pound the best fighter for years......simple really ask Mosley he avoided him
People say he avoided Cotto, when he told Arum he would fight him for 10 million, Arum himself did not want Cotto to fight him, he wanted to build up Cotto first and his words make a Hearns vs Leonard type fight...his plan failed
Too much crap goes on behind the scenes in boxing....what Pacfans fail to remember is that Mayweather was a Arum fighter, Arum built him up and put him in favorable matchups and situations....u know kinda like he's doing with Pacman, yet u consider that as great. Mayweather had dominated every fighter put in front of him, that's what I have observed....call them cherry picked or whatever, fact remains he has beat multiple champions and top contenders that's earned my respect.
Pacfans love to bring up Mays weight against Marquez, yet ignore the weight stipulations Pac has put on fighters. It's comical...pacfans are the worst I have seen, from gender comments, racial slurs, degrading people...over what? Two guys not fighting?
Sorry dude, I like several fighters, I'm not stuck on one guy, I love aspects of several fighters, ill never claim to be a true boxing guy, like some on here who are actually involved in the sport and know far more than I do, but I am a fan of boxing and try to watch as many fights as i can
Great post

You ****ed up. Own up to it.
You screwed up the results of the Mosley Mora fight because you didn't watch it, just like you didn't watch Margarito-Garcia, Cotto-Clottey, Cotto-Jennings, Hatton vs. Malignaggi or Lazcano, De La Hoya-Forbes, or Hundreds of Thousands of other Boxing Matches that didn't involve Floyd, Manny or Tyson because you aren't a real boxing fan, because you don't really enjoy this sport like people who have immersed themselves in the sport do, whether it's just watching 1000s of hours worth of tape, or stepping in the ring, or both.
You think all good foot movement has to do with it jumping around.
You wouldn't know what a good jab looked like if it hit you in the face.
You haven't the slightest on how to properly score a fight, knowing only what it looks like when one guy is overwhelmed, and the other isn't, and you stare blankface everytime you watch it, because you dunno what to say, cuz (again) you don't really grasp what your watching.
You don't see contrasting styles in the ring, or strategy. You just see the same thing you see when you look at rock um sock um robots, two objects hitting each other, cuz you have no eye for intricacy, because (again) it's not something you truely and passionately immerse yourself in, or even so much as casually follow.
You care only about Manny Pacquiao, and you only do it because you feel it's what you have to do, like it's some unspoken duty of Honor. Supporting your countryman. Saying how humble he is, even though he has paintings of HIMSELF in his own house, his propensity to drink and cheat on his wife, and has his face plastered on every part of the phillipines that isn't covered in jungle (and probably even some of the places that are).
All you know if Pac-Floyd, cuz that's all you care about.
Feel free to leave the subject of Boxing alone altogether whenever you're ready. Doesn't want you and it doesn't need you.
