Let's not forget Floyd purposely missed making weight so he could insure he was much larger than Marquez on fight night. Let's also remember, Marquez had no drug testing for his fights with Pacquiao & Alvarado, and was noticeably larger and broke out in acne. When drug testing was in place, Marquez looked smaller and slower against Bradley hence losing the fight. So the point is each fight each opponent was a different scenario, as it relates to your boy Floyd, he gets hit way more now than ever before in his career. And as Roy Jones found out with all his flash and speed, you eventually slow, get hit more, then one night you stay hit and don't recover. Your boy Floyd is going to get stretched out if he chooses the wrong opponent.Comment

there's no point of comparing sugar ray and chickenfloyd...sugar ray fought the best fighters in his prime...chickenfloyd has not fought the likes of hearns, duran, hagler, benitez, kalule to name a few...Comment

Floyd is past his prime and its starting to show in his performances in the ring. There's no shame in that. He has been the p4p best for a very long time. He has had a great career, so no matter what happens in his next 2 fights, it can not be held against him. He is undefeated in his prime. But in saying all of that, Leonard and Robinson would be undefeated and would have continued fighting well in their 40's with Floyd's resume. The eras are too different to compare. Believe me, if Floyd had to fight Hearns 2 times, Duran 3 times and an all time great middleweight champion in Hagler,and plus a young beast like Terry Norris, his career would have been done a long time ago and he would not be undefeated.Comment

JMM wants no rematch with Floyd and has said he cant beat him , if he had a major problem after the Manny KO he would be screaming for a rematch but no , both him and his trainer dont want another embarrassing loss to Floyd , Much larger is in your dream that fight was pure boxing not a clinch in the fight it had nothing to do with weight or size how can it when there is no wrestling at all , you need to learn boxing kid you talk numbers but have no clue of the real meaning , Jmm weighed the same on fight night that he was KOing Manny .Let's not forget Floyd purposely missed making weight so he could insure he was much larger than Marquez on fight night.

If you ever tried this sport you will realize after 2 yrs out that your weight can change a little , Floyd thought he will make it and would not of known until right at the end and said fck it , he weighed in at 146 .Comment

You have to understand what these fighters accomplished and against who. "Sugar" Ray Robinson had one of the most decorated resumes in the history of boxing, constantly challenging himself against not only hall of famers but a deep group of competition, sometimes fighting on weeks rest. What would Floyd look like after 100+ fights with a resume like Ray Robinson? Leonard fought Benitez, Duran 3x, Hearns 2x, Hagler and won championships at 147,154,160,168,175 by the time he retired, nuff said. No these guys weren't as viable as Floyd at 37 or 38 but they already forged their legacy."Sugar" Ray Robinson, after the age of 37, went on to lose 13 fights. "Sugar" Ray Leonard, by the time he was 37, was two years into his retirement, having lost his last fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr, at the age of 37, is not only still boxing's biggest star and top fighter, there honestly isn't a single fighter 147-154 that the general boxing fan would push as a favorite over Floyd.Comment

Sugar Ray Robinson started his career 121-1 (86 KO), SRL fought Benitez, Hearns & Duran by age 25. Floyd & Pacman are 1st ballot hall of famers but the 2 sugars are all time greats with Ray Robinson maybe the best that ever lived.Comment

You read to many romantic novels , there are tapes of Robinson to see with your own eyes , Floyd would box his ears of if they both weighed the same , Floyd at 135 was near on unbeatable , show me a link to tape of Robinson where you can say that fight right there he would beat prime Floyd .You have to understand what these fighters accomplished and against who.

Nobody can fight 100s of fights today at top level because the competition is better , the money is so much higher the game is faster , the training is better , the athletes in all sports are faster and more powerful with all records broken , the game is more destructive today , you have never boxed you read storys of old greats of the past and off you go into dreamland , watch these old greats fight on tape they would have a hard time today where technique is so much better .Comment
