Comments Thread For: Mayweather on His Place in History, Fighting Khan

[dynomyte1444]

Floyd loves to throw that "I offered Manny $40M", which is all BS, smoke and mirrors. He never sent a signed contract to Manny, so you have no deal. Nobody knows how serious you are till you put it in writing. Had Manny said he'd take the $40m, there would have been never ending demands from Floyd, that's how he operates. As for Khan, he wanted to fight Khan rather than Maidana, but since he got so much negative backlash for even considering him, he chose the right guy who had earned the right to fight. Now Floyd polishes up his image control in this article telling Khan, if you want to fight me, earn it. Really? Why were you even considering Khan then deadbeat, but to gravy train an easy payday off his UK fan base. Then the flip side of it, he says all this talk about how Maidana earned the opportunity, which begs the question, "Floyd why didn't you just come out and call Maidana out then?" Just a phony phukk.

He did get on the phone with pac which is documented and said that he would transfer 20 mill out of his own bank account and get the rest to him.

Now in the history of floyd when has he ever done with anyone. Pac is not afraid of any man but him and arum are the cowards in that situation.

the excuses that have come out of that group is crazy and arum being caught in lie after lie is crazy

Agree what floyd says that fighters today are better and stronger, both technically and physically. Tbh, most of the opponents the champions of the past fought were complete bums by today's standards.

Also a comment on Mayweather's place among the all time greats: Lets go back to the 1970's and 1980's: Fighters better than Mayweather: Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Pryor, Arguello, Sanchez just to name a few. Mayweather needs to fight Manny Paquiao and beat him to be mentioned in the same breath as the above fighters.

Comparing fighters, or athletes from different eras is fun. But attempting to rank them is borderline impossible and IMO ******. Almost as ****** as the notion that Manny Pacquiao holds the key to Floyd's historical greatness. Very solid argument can be made that Pac isn't even #2 in the era. Because if none of them ever fought again. How can you say Pac was better than JMM. At one time, Floyd and Pac were clearly #1 and #2 in the era and that was the intrigue. But as it stands right now. The #1 v #2 match-up happeen when Floyd fought JMM. And we know what happen there.

That's just because the guys were more active back then. Top guys now make a million bucks fighting in a half empty arena. So financially, they don't have to fight as much now. Plus, all the bull**** that goes along with putting a fight together now didn't exist back then. Folks today like to act as if these greats of yesteryear were fighting superfights every out and that's just not the case. Scroll some of these cats' records and you'll see that between their notable fights. They were fighting some guys that would have a hard time getting a commission to sign off on nowadays. So you're right in that respect.

[buckfangs]

you have to think about these fighters in their respective era's, yeah fighters are stronger and faster today, but that because our diet has changed and people are healthier and live longer and take better care of themselves, but that's the playing field of today and Floyd has those same exact attributes to compete, when SRR was fighting he was on the same playing field as the guys he was fighting and he was more dominate the Floyd could ever dream of being, its almost like the concept of the p4p list, where you rank them on how good the fighters are in their weight classes, when you're ranking fighters through history you should do it based on how good they were in their era, not if they could beat some fighter who has a entire team Dr.s and coaches working to make them the best fighter possible like fighters today have, thats not fair

Lmao u mad? face red?

[thack]

It won't happen but wouldn't it be great if Maidana knocked this piss taker out and stopped this nonsense, because it sounds like if ole' glass jaw can stay off the the canvass long enough he will get his date with the bank manager! A fight that Floyd tried and failed to get away with on this occasion could happen.When the showtime deal was first announced I thought great...I now can't wait till it's over....NOT a fan of Floyd the person!

??? Floyd fought Marquez after he lost to Pacquiao
How does that make them #1 and #2?
