Mayweather's legacy in boxing

[Holywarrior]

One of the best and most successful boxers to ever put on gloves. It is good for the sport. It teaches young guys how to market, how to be humble post fight, etc.

This isn't the 60s anymore. PPV/Marketing is a big thing. This is lost on a lot of fans.

-larger than life person, cash cow
-great technical and defensive boxer
-a HOFer
-a ducker
-a low life racist, classless thug
-PED accuser

It won't be a world of shoulder rolling because guys would just end up doing Berto and getting the sheeeeeet beat out of em.

Berto

Was almost dying laughing watching his Mayweather attempt.

It is about hitting and not getting hit (clean). He does make for an entertaining fight for about 6 rounds then you get the picture. I would like to see him with more athletic boxers of his weight class. How often do we see him fight ANY boxer of HIGH caliber that isn't old? Only guy that I'll give him credit for is Zab, but everyone knows that he has no abilities to adjust and Mayweather new that.

There's not many of that sort around today pal.

Floyd's a great talent, but it's not like he's the first fighter with a defensive style. He'll be known more for the rights he didn't take. But hey, he makes that cash don't he?

On a side note, was there really a need for another Floyd legacy thread?

[Pacquiao'd]

Good call, Larry... before Floyd came along, fighters were saying "I'll try and get repeatedly hit in the face with my guard down". Only Mayweather put a different idea into their heads.

Great post... more please!

what a dumbass. the hit and dont get style is super popular amoungst new boxers today. when has it ever been this popular previous to now?

It has, but people who used it never made 40 million dollars a fight before.
