  • Paulie thinks Mayweather is the GOAT

    BT: Well I've kept you on forever, bro. I don't want to hold you up, but before you get out of here, let me get your thoughts on Floyd Mayweather's performance against Robert Guerrero since you were front and center for all the action.

    PM: I thought it was stellar. To be right on the ring and just see what's he's doing that close to the ring, it gives you much more appreciation. You know what it is, man. People, boxing fans and boxing media, are so one-track minded. They're just looking for 1 or 2 things, like power or this...there's so many subtle things that Floyd Mayweather does that if people would actually just relax and watch the fight instead of looking for something to criticize, if they would relax and watch the fight, you'd see the greatness in front of you, you know what I'm saying. I'm a grown ass man and I'm not trying to kiss nobody's ass, but that's the best fighter that ever lived, man. I mean, you can tell me anything you want, but he would disarm Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, and those are great fighters, but he would disarm them all. That's what he does. He disarms you. First he kind of gauges you and then he completely disarms you, and once he disarms you, you're through.

    BT: You can almost see the moment when fighters quit against him.

    PM: Yeah! Because he disarms you. It's to the point where he's reacting to everything you're doing. It's to the point where you don't even want to throw a punch. I mean, it got to the point where everything Guerrero threw, Mayweather had an answer for it. You're not just missing anymore; now you're missing and paying every single time...every single time. Virtually you don't want to throw any punches, you know what I'm saying. It's kind of crazy. Having said that, you gotta give Miguel Cotto some respect for that, man. I knew that was the best fighter I ever fought in my career, but he's a rough customer for making Floyd have to dig in a little bit, but again, Floyd showed his greatness because that's the thing about Floyd. He's not just talent, he's character too. I always tell people, at this level, it's hard work, it's talent, but it's character. It's all those things. You have to have a combination of all three things and Floyd has them all. It's just the talent is so in your face that people only see that and they complain like, "Oh, he's just running," because part of the talent is that speed in his legs, that speed in his hands, but it's the talent is just blowing at you in your face to the point where it's like, wow, there's so much talent that you actually forget to look for the subtle things. That's why you have to pay attention, you know what I'm saying. He does so many things well and he's got character. Right now, nobody is gonna match him. I couldn't even tell you a fighter that would even give him a good fight. I saw Canelo April 20th, I called the fight, and I saw Mayweather May 4th, I called the fight. I saw them both right up on the ring the past 2 weeks apart. I thought Canelo had a better chance before I saw these past couple of weeks. What I saw these past couple weeks, I'm like, yo, don't put Canelo anywhere near Floyd. Not right now, dude. Don't do it to him. I like Canelo. Don't do it to him. I'm telling you, it won't be close.

    While I don't consider Floyd to be the GOAT I do agree with most of what Paulie says here.

      I've seen it on various video's or maybe I saw the same video various times. lol Mayweather very well could be. If he was a great guy and everyone loved him, he'd easily be voted the greatest of all time.

        Head-to-Head Mayweather is in the Top 20 All-Time in my opinion. Based on career and resume, I put him around Top 30 though.

          If floyd had on his resume
          casamoyer, freitas, or spadafora in 2003
          Kosta in 2005
          mosley in 2006
          Cotto or margarito in 2008
          manny in 2010-2012
          Canelo- now

          he would be top 3 all time
          maybe even the GOAT

              Paulie is a moron. He said Mayweather is the Goat? Mayweather and Pacquaio will both get kayoed by Tommy Hearns. Hearns was a beast of a man. A REAL beast. He will hurt lil floyd and pacquaio. It's funny because Floyd said he is the best back in 2000 and 1999. why didn't he fight mike tyson?

                    I agree with you,but Floyd has beaten the man in Corrales who stopped Freitas and got a win over Cassamayor-(tbh-a Floyd/Cassamayor fight would have been extremely dull...glad it never happened from an entertainment stand point).

                    He beat the man in Hatton who beat Kostya-

                    He beat the man who ko'd Pac

                    and he moved up in weight and beat Cotto

                    These were not shot versions of fighters-still very valid versions. I agree however that I would have liked to see the same fights-no doubt.
