You cant compare toughness that you placing your biased opinion upon it and we KNOW WHICH WAY YOURE BIASED. Floyd is UNDEFEATED and beat over 20 champions AND YOURE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO DISCREDIT HIM so unless youre objective your OPINION WILL ALWAYS BE SLANTED IN A NEGATIVE WAY.
    Floyd can't allow himself to engage in a Leonard/Duran type fight. Not he doesn't allow himself.

    He is physically unable to perform like that. And has no shown anything remotely close to being able to perform like that.

    If that's being biased then that's what it is.

    I'm biased when someone is trying to compare Mayweather to Leonard. Where as I would be biased if someone tried to compare Broner to Mayweather.

    No ones beating me in the head with this nonsense, I'm not buying it.

    The only people buying it are people who feel that Mayweather is their favorite boxer.

    I just give Mayweather credit where credit is due.

    The fact you feel the need to bring up he has "beaten 20 champions" is irrelevant in what we are talking about, in particular.

      He's had his chances to be in those fights & be great, but we all know what he did instead... Even if the opportunity presents it self again he simply won't. I can't wait till he retires & takes his cherry picking trend with him & the old ODH trend of fighting the best to proove your best comes back.

        I agree.......

        I totally agree with you. Floyd is not built for tough fight after tough fight. He wanted to retire again after the Cotto fight. If that's his idea of not wanting to take punishment, what would Leonard have done to him? Duran? Hearns? Is he a great fighter? Yes. BUT, he's no SRL. Leonard is perhaps the greatest fighter to ever lace up gloves. Just a thought. If Floyd had fought Manny when he was supposed to, it would've been the most grueling fight of his career and he KNOWS it! That is the real reason the fight never happened. Manny doesn't care who he fights, Floyd does. My case in point; Floyd is about to fight a style he's encountered for most of his career, Manny is about to fight a dangerous undefeated fighter who he could actually lose to. Although he clearly won the first fight and he will win the rematch because he's pissed off. LoL. Khan would've been the more dangerous opponent, PERIOD. Floyd is a bully and narcissist. Truth is, his decision to never want to face the best, will haunt him when he retires.

          Therefore, quit trying to compare the two.

          One is a "G" and one is a "g....I...r...l."
          Floyd stood in the pocket and walked Canelo down. SRL would not be skilled, strong, or durable enough to do that. No fighter in history can beat 2013 Mayweather. He is too strong, and I always said Hagler would beat Floyd. But 2013 Mayweather would AT LEAST be strong enough to move around the ring and get a win. I think Grandpa Mayweather is the greatest fighter in history based off of skills alone.

            He walked Canelo down? For what, one round? The 8th Round? Because he landed a few shots in the corner? 2013 Mayweather is strong? He hasn't ha. Knockout in 6 years (aside from a cheap shot on Ortiz.)

            You're out of your f.ucking mind man. Whacked out.

              No, Floyd has never had to face a true alpha with the tools, athleticism nor the intelligence of a Duran or a Leonard. After much exploration I'm confident he's a clear rung beneath the likes of those two maybe more.

                Just love your defensive pitter patter puncher and stop trying to compare the two (comparing him to Leonard.)
                This statement won't be true after May 5th. And laced up is right in his comment below the OP.

                  You really believe Mayweather is going to slug it out with Maidana?

                    That's around the time Floyd was calling them out. When Floyd became the cash cow , then they were looking to fight him.
