Floyd Mayweather may well be the best fighter to ever lace up a pair of gloves

[Hands of Stone]

Why i love Floyd??he is flawless,impeccable and an artist..he reminds me of what i could have been,talent with no ceiling,dedication with no slack,100 percent given at all times.This man lets nothing stand in the way of what he loves and anyone who follows this damn sport HAS to respect that..THE SPORT COMES BEFORE ANYTHING AT ALL TIMES!!!!! Thats why he does not lose..TELL ME IN YOUR LIFE WHAT DO YOU GIVE 100 PERCENT FOR??? ANYTHING POSITIVE PLEASE TELL ME!!!

It does sound and looks like you literally really, really want to make love to the man. I don't think he would like that too much.

[The Big Dunn]

His mental aspect is unmatched,whatever mistake he makes once he does not make again.The man is like a computer in the ring he calculates everything and whatever you think you are having success with he takes away. Add in to that he is down right tough,when you actually hit him he is disgusted with himself and wants to punish you,there is no fighter alive that can defeat him,NONE!!!.Floyd is the best and even at 36 is to fast,to crafty and to smart.He works harder then any fighter and on top of that he studies you,he knows your style better then you know your own style.Sure this thread will get a lot of criticism and haterit but who cares? You can not beat this man....HE IS BOXING AND DEFINES EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR

You make some very valid points. I may not agree with you, but floyd is IMO the best of his generation. I think what makes him unique is he has been both the "high risk, little reward" fighter that prime ODH, cotto, manny, shane and others avoided and then worked hard and became the top earner in the history of the sport, a ww making more than Tyson did at his peak?

Even posters that despise him know that you have to be great to do that.

[Kuyukut]

how can you consider a fighter the best when he ducked all the fights that make sense? instead took the easiest fights to preserve an undefeated record.

the last time i check the history of ATGs, undefeated record is almost non-existent.

[Rip Chudd]

100 percent sober thats my honest opinion and he motivates me,when i go to the gym late night i think"THE ONLY PEOPLE UP ARE ME AND FLOYD" His dedication to his sport or anything should inspire people to dedicate themselves to something positive..im done with drugs and getting hi for your info..i am happy being me and living life

Larry, you're my boy and all but the bold sounded mad **** son. Now I understand where you're coming from appreciating his skill and all, cause I don't like that fool but I can put that aside and appreciate that he's one of the best boxers I've ever seen. But c'mon son, read that back to yourself and tell me that didn't sound gay.

[IronMike86]

He has all the talent in the world to validate that statement in the OP, but he really needs to step up his competition and list of opposition with these last 5 fights. Canelo's a great start..Provided he wins, add Bradley, Matthysse, perhaps Broner/Pacquiao to the list, and he's definitely in the conversation.

[THE REED]

He reminds you of what you could have been? lol

sounds a little gayish to me.

[brick wall]

if only he was able to measure up his skills and talents against better opponents, we could have a better perspective of how good floyd really is.

let's say he went through the same quality of opposition as ray leonard had, would he be as successful? i bet most people would think he won't be. and if he can't would people still have the same opinion as they have right now? probably not.

floyd as a fighter creates some sort of twisted impression on some people because of his unbeaten record. they ignore the fact that when it comes to quality of opposition, floyd is lagging behind compared to all-time great fighters.

[junior gong]

It so rare that Larry makes this kind of thread. I'm staggered.

Take your tongue out of floyd's rectum ffs, larry you weird fanboy fruitcake.
