    I don't want to wait until he's retired to say he's had and will continue to have a profound impact on the sport. I get why some people don't like him, I really do but when I drill down into that I see more than just opinions about a boxer, I see a lot of racial slurs and stereotypes being used. So sometimes I wonder if there's a barrier of some kind between Mayweather and the people that watch him. It really feels like this because nothing he does is good enough, everything is picked apart to take away from the man.

    Dunno, something feels really wrong with that.

      Do you understand that Floyd's specifically involved in polls with ATGs and legends? No one's putting up Floyd vs. tomato can x threads.

      People specifically pick polls where it's as tough a challenge for Floyd there is. It wouldn't be fun if it was, Floyd vs. Butterbean, who's the better technician in the ring?

      For example. There was a poll with Manny/Duran, and who's resume is better. The Pac stan in me would be mad that most people were picking against Pac, but the non biased side in me, picked Duran, because that's what I truly felt.

      I didn't think that was a Manny bash thread. So, you shouldn't think this is a Floyd bash thread. Look at the poll for God's sake. Whitaker's up by 1 vote.
      Clearly I was being exaggerative to illustrate a point. I'm not going at the votes, more so the reasoning behind it. I personally picked Floyd, but If someone picked Floyd because of his reflexes than obviously he's a little crazy. Although I may agree with the vote, his reasoning is the issue.

          Floyd had better footwork but Pernell didn't need it; his upper body movement even when shot was above average.

            Oh, so you're not still not admitting that you're a Floyd slurper, and anything that even remotely seems like a slight on Floyd gets your panties in a bunch?

            Yeah, you're not my cup of tea, buddy. I've seen a lot of your posts, and I've laughed at them, because of your username.

            You need thicker skin. Manny gets trashed more than any fighter on this site, and I literally don't give a crap anymore.

              Yeah, I wish some of the guys on here would admit they hate Mayweather for shallow reasons instead of repeating the same arguments that are easily checked and debunked.

                      Who's the better fighter? Manny or Drake?

                      Flowmo: "You can tell by Drake's bars that he's more inclined to pot shot his way to a UD."
