Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Floyd is Not Credited Enough For Carrying Boxing

[ModernTalking]

Ellerbe is right....Fighter Of The Decade Floyd Mayeather .

Floyd carried Boxing???? ******. Floyd, like Roy Jones Jr, showed Boxing how you find the safest route to the bank, with the least amount of risk in the ring. It finally backfired on Roy when he guessed wrong, "hand picking" Antonio Tarver. The same will happen to Floyd JUNIOR. Oscar dela Hoya & Manny Pacquaio carried Boxing with their Super Fights, fighting the Best of the Best IN THEIR PRIMES.... just as those did from the Golden Era of the 80's. Floyd carried Boxing fighting who? Gatti? Victor Ortiz? Oscar fought Mosley (2x), Juan Vargas (2x), Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr (2x), Pernell Whitaker, Hector Camacho, Felix Trinidad, Ike Quartey, Bernard Hopkins, Manny Pacquiao at the end of his career. Manny Pacquiao took the torch and fought everyone they put in front of him. Barrera (2x), Morales (3x), Marquez (4x), Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Mosley, Hatton..... These two guys have fought many Hall of Famers and did more for carrying Boxing in an honorable and credible manner, than gangster, strip club extraordinaire Floyd JUNIOR ever did.

How do you name those Pac fighters that Floyd fought before Pac but give Pac credit and Floyd none.

Just bc he carried "you" Leonard, doesn't mean he carried Boxing. Can't carry boxing fighting once a year.

They're not giving Floyd enough credit, they never give him credit. They gave Manny Pacquiao all the credit and had none left over to spare for Floyd.
Floyd deserves all the credit and no other fighters, not even Broner.

This is hilarious. Let's think about this, where would u rank his fight with RG compared to other fights this year??? How is he carrying boxing when his fights are some of the least entertaining??? Yeah, he's the best, he gets crazy attention and makes crazy money but is that what carries boxing???

ellerbe is freakin' dead wrong. floyd gets all the credit for perfecting the process of cherry picking his opponents.

he gets all the credit for incorporating cherry picking as part of the so called sweet science.

PAC was killing everybody he fought (not named Marquez). People love the knockout artist. They would rather see that then watch floyd school dudes for 12 rounds.
