Whatever you or I believe doesn't matter, the history book will reflect that Money won twice in a row against the same opponent and Pac-Man lost his last two in a row.
One hundred years from now, the history book will reflect this.

He has fallen a bit short there, for whatever reason. So while his elite status cannot be denied, he is not the complete embodiment of the sport. This era lacks that final gear.

1. That's a huge insult to Jose Luis who on an even judging field could've arguably won his first fight vs Mayweather.
2. That's a huge insult to Shane Mosley who patiently baited Mayweather twice and socked it to him and almost shook up the world.
Listen Mayweather is a tremendous fighter and talent but his opponents come in so focused on imposing their will on him they fall apart half way through the fight. The people who have had success vs Floyd have exercised patience the fact Mosley landed those two punches and came within a cun-t hair of knocking Mayweather out means it's there to be had. No fighter is unbeatable.

Cotto wasn't ready for a Mayweather fight. They said it themselves. Mayweather tried to fight Mosley. Funny how that just gets swept under the rug.

Originally posted by GRUSTLER View PostNO! It's because Pacquiao should not have walked away AT ALL over what? Random blood tests cut offs? Are you trying to tell me that he really wanted the fight? Should have never been no 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th negotiations. Funny how it's Mayweather's fault that he didn't make more of an effort to fight Pacquiao AFTER he already made the effort to fight Pacquiao but Pacquiao didn't want to fight him? After all of these YEARS it still doesn't make sense how that was Floyd's fault? I don't want to go into it again so I'll leave it at that. Nacho speaks the truth. Mayweather, you can love him or hate him but he is a great boxer/fighter. Technically the best.

The biggest between the words statement I got from that is that Marquez or his trainer want nothing to do with a Floyd rematch , they know they cannot beat Floyd in any capacity , or only with a bat , that is a powerful compliment from such a great HOF trainer .

Originally posted by feroth View PostPeople need to open their eyes...if you wanna hate go ahead and hate, but ur watching history whether u like it or not. 17 years in the game, no losses and it's not even about his record, its about what he does in and out of the ring. He's born and bread to be a boxer, he's the EMBODIMENT of the sport you ppl claim to be a fan of, the fact that you can hate on him seriously reflects your credibility as a fan and your appreciation for the game.
His peers, fellow boxers and trainers, people who themselves are in pound for pound discussion, trainers who have worked with the greatest fighters in history, trainers who are training some of the greatest fighters of all time and active fighters today, reporters and analysts who have seen more fights than you can count and have been around to watch and interview and see the pioneers of our sport train and fight all tell you the same thing....THIS GUY IS DIFFERENT!
Canelo is a good fighter with great intangibles and he's got a chance at beating Floyd like half the other guys he's faced, don't get it mistaken. Nacho jokes about this bat ****, everyone has a chance at this level, but what sets Mayweather apart is his training and his ability to think and make adjustments that put these other dudes out of range.
Appreciate the art and science of boxing and if you're gonna hate then do your thing, but you're gonna look ****** in the end
I really do wish I could like Mayweather. but he is a douche bag of a person/personality.
"he's the EMBODIMENT of the sport you ppl claim to be a fan of" i couldn't agree with you less.
I'm a HUGE boxing fan dude. and I have watched, more pac, marquez, GOTTI , fights RIOS, 80's classics, 70's classics, LUCAS lately , GGG, etc over and over and over and over again and over again. pissing my wife off,, like " you watching that fight again?" kinda ****!
I've probably watched Floyd ,, uhhhmmm live , and drunk i think. and probably because i wanted to see his hood rat ass knocked out.
if he was the embodiment of boxing I'd quite watching boxing. if it weren't for lucas and garcia i would even order the fight.
