    Darchinian, he is a beast, he beat Arce, Mijares, pacheco and I see him winning against Mares in a close desicion. But in flyweigh was his best version

      For the record i think Floyd against those fighters people talked about would have won but the point is he never even took the chance.
      Sorry, I don't think I made your point because your point was basically : "when has Mayweather fought when the odds were against him?", not did he fight everyone he should have.

      The odds haven't been against him for a long, long time. You can't level that at someone for being too good, or like I said, level the same on at Wlad. I'm not going to get into the great "ducking" debate as it's been done to death and back. Did you read one of my previous posts?

      I basically stated the point that history is full of boxers with a massive win their careers? Some that can be judged as bigger than any in Mayweather's career. But how many have performed so consistantly well at Mayweather's level? Even if it isn't always at the level WE want, it is still pretty high. If anyone could do it, surely more would.

      So again, does one massive win make a career and does the lack of one (but traded for very good ones) break a career? What exactly is the point trying to be made here?

        I don't think Floyd has. Most of his fans don't think so either.

        That's why after Pac-Marquez 4 many came on here as if it was a Floyd victory. Same with Martinez-Williams 2 when they said "so this is the guy you wanted floyd to fight" (there was demand at the time for a Floyd fight with Williams). We could go on and on. Only fans who are insecure about a fighter's record would do that.

        I'm not hating on Floyd. I truly believe Floyd would have beaten Pac, Williams (at 147 which Williams offered), Cotto at that time, Margarito (though that would have been the hardest test). Even now I think he beats Canelo in a fight I'm sure will eventually happen.

        But I can't credit him with those wins as he didn't get in the ring to beat them at the relevant moments in time. I can credit Rigo though for schooling a highly regarded Donaire. So I give this one to Rigo.

          It's not even close.
          I respect your opinion, but I think that Donaire is better boxer than Castillo and Corrales.

              I happen to think that Mike Tyson and Don Curry are better boxers than Nonito Donaire. Lloyd Honeyghan and James Douglas beat them. What do you make of that in relation to Guillermo Rigondeaux (who I happen to rate pretty highly)?

Which Floyd turned out bigger than by about 2 weight classes.
                    you are such a hater so salty. haha

                      Imagine, you guys are saying that Floyd had to leave TR to get a fight going with Oscar BUT Manny fought Oscar ......

                      Floyd could have fought whoever he wanted. He just didn't want it as much as his fans are pretending that he did.
