      "Mayweather is the ONLY fighter that they say should move up in weight, just to prove himself." Ugh, Oscar did it. Leonard did it. Duran did it...just to name a few.

        Floyd had his chance to be the GOAT, just like Roy jones did. Jones never pursued the big fights when he waqs on top.

        Floyd has done a great job and is the best p4p of his era. He is an ATG but not the GOAT

        A few fights on his resume and he might have been. If he had maybe three of these fights on resume he would be up there
        Prince naseem-2001 Absolutely ducked Floyd after Floyd called him out (watch Corrales post fight interview) and then lost to MAB
        Freitas, Casamoyer, spadafora, stevie johnson @lightweight Floyd called out the winner of Casamayor-Frietas and guess what? They ducked him!
        Kosta tzysu at 140 in 2005 Lost to Ricky Hatton, if he had won that bout then Mayweather would have been next.
        Margarito in 2006 when offered 9 million, took Baldomir (the unified WW champion instead) Left Bob Arum(NEVER FOUGHT A TOP RANK FIGHTER AGAIN), I GUARANTEE YOU if he took Marg instead of Baldomir they would have called it a duck
        Sugar Shane in 2007 after oscar fight Fought Ricky Hatton after Oscar (which was a SUPER FIGHT) in 2007 plus when he called out Shane Shane said he needed a vacation
        Cotto or Margarito or Williams in 2008 The only one I will give anyone is Cotto. I think Floyd should have fought Cotto instead of the DLH rematch before he went into retirement. That's the one bout that still grinds my gears.
        Manny 2009-2012 Do we have to go through that again?
        Canelo-present
        Broner-future

        If he had just a few of these fights, say casamoyer, kosta, cotto in 08 he would def be conisdered the much higher in GOAT rankings
        I just had to refute a few of those to say this, not everything is on Floyd, it takes two to tango.

          Read my post directly after my first one, and i made that same point. It does take 2 to tango

          I also explained that since the oscar fight floyd has been the money man in the sport and can pick and can make any fight he wants to.

          So any fights that he hasnt made since then are kinda Floyd's fault.

          Arum I think would have done a manny-floyd fight and given floyd anything he wanted, Arum didnt want to do business with golden boy. He wanted to be the sole promoter and get all the credit for the fight.
          And dont say Arum wouldnt sacrifice manny, because bob has a long history of making big fights, namely Oscar vs Tito who was with don king

              lmao @ this crap. Mayweather wipes out Robert Guerrero AS EXPECTED and it's reaffirmed he's Jesus Christ. Somebody give Frank Warren a cup of G**** Kool-Aid.

                Uhhh...no. They tried that and it failed. Plus Floyd only had what...5 fights since Oscar.

                Cotto
                Ortiz
                Guerrero
                Notice one thing.......none of them were TR fighters at the time the bout was made.

                  No he wouldnt you live in a fantasy world, A lot of guys in their prime at 147 would ice him! Leonard, hearns, mosley, delahoya, trinidad, robinson, armstrong, duran, probably even pacquio, the list goes on and on! Hes never fought anyone at 147 even close to those guys in their prime. Hell even a shot washed up mosley practically kod him and he had nothing left.

                    Yeah FLoyd could have ditched Golden boy at anytime CUZ HE IS HIS OWN BOSS
                    Told Top RANK
                    1. I WANT A CO_PROMOTION WITH MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS
                    2. IN VEGAS @ MGM
                    3. Olympic Drug testing
                    4. I want 75% of money
                    5. And I want no string attached.

                    Arum and top rank would have gladly done that just to say that Top Rank made manny-floyd...

                    Floyd could have beaten him and gone seperate ways. Arum would have Still made money, and manny would still be a draw. HEll manny got ko'd by marquez and is still a draw

                      I think all those guys would say Floyd would not be an easy challenge~

                      So getting stung is practically getting knocked out now?

                      I also didn't say he would beat everyone just give them a tough fight which is what Floyd's style revolves around, so that isn't even saying much.

                      Why are you still talking to me though? I don't care what you think nor do I ever talk to you unless you talk to me first, so I will offer you some free advice if you think I am full of shit why pay me any mind~
