Originally posted by DestrosFloyd missed too many guys and it's a shame his fans give him a pass by just saying he would have won anyway. If that's the case, why fight the fights? He should just retire since he's so good that he doesn't have to fight to prove he could actually beat some of these guys.
Yes they were a lot of big fights that Floyd could have taken that would have proven his ability but for whatever reason they never happened.
I find it astonishing, when people can't see the ring intelligence in some fighters just because they have heart and are aggressive and can use brute force.

Floyd's best win is what? Beating Cotto 8 round to 4, a fighter that had suffer two heavy defeats before.
That is Floyd's prove level, but I've seen fantasy fights where people pick Floyd to beat guys like Duran, SRL, Benitez.
Floyd has never proven he is on that level.
If someone feels floyd wins in a fantasy fight it really isn't that big a deal.

counter-punching is attractive, most people just dont realise it is fairly easy with a speed edge
mayweathers real skill lies in his defence, which he is very good at, his offense isn't that special, and his counter-punching is fairly straight foward too if you look past the flashy speed
he's obviously a smart fighter too and smart fighters are always hard to bet against, although to what degree is another story i dont feel like getting into right nowLast edited by SplitSecond; 06-04-2012, 11:59 AM.

He is a ATG BUT he has not gone up against an opponent that he could prove himself against since corrals, and corrales was never a world beater.
I hate to bring up Pacīs name but the prime Pac (cotto/Ricky times)is THE fighter that would have showed us the deeps of his talent.
Sergio is also a fighter that we know is fast we know have one punch knockout power,we know is dangerous and he would also enabled us to gauge have good floyd really is.
Prime paul williams/magarito/kostya are also fighters he diddent fight that would have given us something.
But he chose opponents carefully and he avoided the most dangerous ones so we just dont know have good he really isLast edited by 110110110; 06-04-2012, 12:04 PM.

Floyd has proven he is one of the handful of great fighters to ever fight. He was so good that prime, HOF fighters refuse to fight him for whatever reason. But people like you tend to lie about this or spin it some other way because you don't like floyd.

People overlook great fighters of the past? The last time I checked, the general consensus was that the past fighters were the greatest of all time and the modern generation would not have been able to succeed in their generation.
Why on earth would you reference Bute as a comparison to Floyd Mayweather???
You must have spent quite some time on coming up with this nonsensical thread. All you had to type was ''I think Floyd Mayweather is overrated''.

One fantasy fight Mayweather definitely loses is against Pacquiao. Pacquiao destroys Mayweather. Floyd would have no answer for Pacquiao's jab, jab, straight left. And Floyd would meet the same fate as Ricky Hatton, with the right hook, roll under.

He might be the greatest ever but he has NOT showed us.
Exactly, he can't even claim there weren't the fights around to prove his ability.
