NSB myth is that all the past ATGs fought everyone and its not the case at all

[Elroy1]

Mayweather has single handedly brought shame to boxing.

Most of his fights even suck!

[travestyny]

Just a friendly reminder that Floyd signed a contract to fight Pac.

Pac refused to sign a 50/50 split contract to fight Floyd.

Who's the ducker?

If Marquez and Pac agreed to go 50/50, yet Marquez decides not to sign the contract over drug testing, who would the fan boys say is ducking? I thought so.


Now back to the topic that seemed to me to be not particularly about Floyd and Pac. Thank you for reading.

Name somebody who said fighter would be a underdog against in the two weight classes he fights in just one?

Sorry but I didn't quite get what you are trying to say ..... If you mean that Ali fought only in one division, so what. He did more in that weight class than some did even though they fought in several divisions .....
HW is a "special" division in that you can be much bigger or much smaller than your opponent but still be considered a HW. That is more so the case today.

Which ATGs in history openly ducked fighters, faked retirement until the waters got less dangerous, Ran from a fight because of blood testing, ran from a fight because the other guy's name was Margarito, , ran from a fight because the other side didn't want a guarentee with no PPV cut, ran from from a fight because the other side had to sign with his company, Forced a fighter to wear extra padded gloves, and flip flop in every way shape and form?

Floyd is the only one. He must the greatest of all times. He's cut from the cloth of Ali and Robinson. The blood of Hagler and Pryor is the same kind that flows in his veins. He's got the same bravery and strength that made Meldrick Taylor dangerous.

When you compare the level of opponents that past ATG's have faced with Floyd's, there is no contest. Especially when many feel that Floyd's best/career defining fight is against Chico Corrales.

[Reginald Ledoux]

I see that you two are still discussing Floyd without saying the name Floyd ...... come on, you can do it. Just say the word ...... "FLOYD"

[The Gambler1981]

The only problem with talking about historical fighters is that maybe 15% here have any right to even be be discussing any fighter pre 1980. Any Tom,Dick and Harry can know the positives of a fighter of the past but finding out their flaws is much more difficult and requires real research when looking into in ring and career flaws.

That is really what it comes down to people judge the present more harshly because they are closer to it and know more about it, take the boxing world from the 40's 50's 60's with some modification (social and rule changes) to right now you would have the same people saying the same **** just the names would be different.

Period end of story, this **** doesn't really change and nothing being done currently in boxing is new at all.

You do not have a clue about boxing history if you believe this to be the case. For example,
Hagler made a career out of fighting smaller fighters. Litterally ducked the **** out
Fighting Mike Mccallum, Herol Graham (WBA strip him of his title for not fighting his mandatory #1 contender), Kalambay, bigger man like Spinks, and Qawi. I can go on and on. But the point is Mayweather is no different for any of great fighter in their eras. He didn't fight everybody, they didn't either. However, he still accomplished great things in the sport. Name the last guy mayweather fought coming off a lost beside people who he beat like Madiana and Casitillo.

Learn some history before u made crazy statements like this.
