        Mayweather is undefeated because he hasn't faced any excellent pressure fighters. Fighters that come to mind are Margarito, Williams, and Pacquiao. They come non-stop, have good chins, and threw 1000+ punches per fight in their primes.

          arum is the reason mayweather-pacquiao has never been made.

          pacquiao for the most part fought guys handpicked for him to look good against. he is still in his prime too, just fighting more fresh and technical opponents.

          vitali has slipped more than ppl realize, it has just been hidden through clever matchmaking. if he fights haye at this point he probably gets knocked out.

          antonio tarver is severly underrated, he is one of the best light heavyweights in history and one of the best fighters of his generation p4p.

          hopkins beat calzaghe comfortably, who then blatantly ducked dawson to fight a shell of a man in jones.

          kessler is the most overrated fighter of his generation and froch clearly beat him both times they fought.

          sugar ray leonard and carlos monzon were great fighters, but complete douchebags outside the ring.

          dawson is one of the best fighters of his generation, but doesnt get enough credit for his level of competition.

          broner clearly beat both malignaggi and ponce de leon (havent seen the quintero fight).

          teddy atlas isnt an idiot, just a lunatic.

          amir khans chin isnt all that bad, his brain is the real issue.

          gennady golovkin is the best technician in the MW division and sturm is second.

          danny garcia will become a legend. angel garcia is one of the best trainers in boxing.

          zab judah is awesome.

          most boxing fans are idiots and dont deserve any better that what the sport has become.

          adrien broner isnt a bad guy, just a child trapped in a mans body.

          juan manuel marquez is better than morales, barrera and pacquiao (might not be so unpopular now but ive been saying it for years).

          carl froch is the best british super middleweight ever and michael watson is second.

          keith thurman is all hype.

          deontay wilders career is moving at the right pace and he shouldnt have stepped up his level of competition earlier.

Consequently, I disfavour all boxers that run. Rios wins over Alvarado, the Russian over Bradley, Rios over Abril, Trinidad over De Lahoya...and the only wins Floyd gets are his KO's!
              Go and check out Willie Pastrano-Harold Johnson which was in 1963.

                I agree, but a lot of people consider what Ali did "running." In fact, many people think you're running if you don't stand toe-to-toe and trade. You seem to be a little harsh in your definition of running as well. Floyd doesn't run. He sits in the pocket and picks you off like a surgeon. Abril didn't run against Rios. Some people want to say he held too much, but I've never heard "he ran." I'll agree that Oscar ran in the last few rounds versus Tito. It cost him a fight he was clearly winning.

                  Neither Klitschko is ATG
                  Broner most overrated fighter since Edwin Valero
                  David Haye best athlete in Boxing right now
                  Rigondeaux is exciting to watch
                  Prime Ali would easily outbox prime Tyson
                  Malignaggi sucks as a commentator, so does Ward
                  Jim Lampley is the best blow by blow commentator ever
                  Howard Cosell was overrated
