      If you speak to someone in who is in their 50s they will tell you ''Sugar Ray Leonard''. Fact of the matter is it has always been a part of the game.

        Golovkin is a better fighter than Chavez jr. This is a ******ed thread.

          Is that right?? I'd agree if Benitez, Duran, Hearns and Hagler were (not) on that resume.

              Yes, it's a business. But those fighters who choose the "business" route have every right to do so. BUT don't go around acting like these guys are untouchable, P4P elite when clearly they don't want to prove it themselves.

                I wouldn't do that because i think it's bad for the sport that it's becoming more of a business but i can't do anything about that...

                I liked what Marquez said when he dismissed meeting Pac for a fifth time and choose the lesser paycheck.

                  That's exactly how I feel about Floyd. If he's the biggest draw and wants to behave like it, good for him. But being the biggest draw does not equate to being the best or pfp king. Wards resume, Mares' resume over the last few years destroys Floyd's.

                    Yes I have heard numerous people in their 50s criticize him for the politics he introduced in the sports, robbing Hagler, being opportunistic with the timing of his fights, stipulations etc.

                      Robbing Hagler?? I think Hagler won, but robbery?? Nah, could have gone either way. He was opportunistic with Hagler, i'll admit, but who else??
