Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If Khan Fight Happens, I'd Punish Him!

You Mosley, coming off beating the f.uck outta Margarito. JMM, coming off being robbed in the second Manny fight and wins over Casamayor and Diaz. And Cotto, coming off the Yuri Foreman and Margarito wins. Almost forgot Canelo, coming off the Trout win.

Mosley got in that position by beating margarito, who in turn got his position from beating cotto, the same year floydie was "retired". Two boogeymen down at ww and floydie magically "unretires". Come on bruh, JMM was a career lightweight and he got cheated on the scales in their fights. And that cotto was more of a "boxing" cotto instead of the attacker, "bull" cotto. Different styles of fighting.

In the October issue of Ring magazine, they asked 20 writers and historians to list their top 20 fighters since World War 2. Here is how the total came out. The number of 1st place votes are in brackets:


1. Ray Robinson - 396pts - (17)
2. Henry Armstrong - 339 - (1)
3. Muhammad Ali - 324 - (1)
4. Roberto Duran - 296
5. Joe Luis - 293
6. Ray Leonard - 258
7. Willie Pep - 246 - (1)
8. Archie Moore - 189
9. Julio Cesar Chavez - 171
10. Ezzard Charles - 164
11. Perenell Whitaker - 132
12. Floyd Mayweather Jr - 118
13. Marvin Hagler - 117
14. Carlos Monzon - 98
15. Eder Jofre - 86
16. Sandy Saddler - 82
17. Roy Jones Jr - 80
18. Rocky Marciano - 77
19. Bernard Hopkins - 66
20. Ike Williams - 55


Ezzard Charles being ranked ahead of Marciano is all I need to know about the credibility of that list...

if finding one thing you don't like to discredit the list because Floyd is well above manny is what you have to do, so be it.

Ring is now like forbes, wall street journal, ny times, and sports illustrated, yahoo, espn, etc. etc.-whenever they publish something that puts Floyd ahead of manny-Manny fans and Floyd haters just dismiss it.

Brittle hands vs. brittle chin, which one would last?

True. but floydie has his pillow gloves for his brittle hands. Remember his health comes first!!!

[radioraheem]

Okay. Take a real good look at this list. You mean to tell me that the only 8 division champion in the history of the sport isn't top 10-15, all-time?????? But Floyd is? Based on what? Where is Evander Holyfield on this list? **** this list!!!!!!!! Everyone on this list was fearless and Manny fits that build. This list was written by one of Floyd's people.

1. Ray Robinson - 396pts - (17)
2. Henry Armstrong - 339 - (1)
3. Muhammad Ali - 324 - (1)
4. Roberto Duran - 296
5. Joe Luis - 293
6. Ray Leonard - 258
7. Willie Pep - 246 - (1)
8. Archie Moore - 189
9. Julio Cesar Chavez - 171
10. Ezzard Charles - 164
11. Perenell Whitaker - 132
12. Floyd Mayweather Jr - 118
13. Marvin Hagler - 117
14. Carlos Monzon - 98

16. Sandy Saddler - 82
17. Roy Jones Jr - 80
18. Rocky Marciano - 77
19. Bernard Hopkins - 66
20. Ike Williams - 55

Why?

Just because Pacquaio isn't on there?

You may want Floyd to be remembered that way, but clearly he will not be by anyone who really loves the sport. You may also want manny to be seen in a better light or ranked higher than floyd, but he likely will not be.

They both have more fights and where they are relative to each other may change. As for now, its Floyd and it isn't even really close.

Set your personal desires aside and accept it.

As for this thread, I made it clear Khan IMO is not deserving of a Floyd fight ahead of manny, Thurman, Bradley or brook.

And his legacy will always take a hit for not fighting the #1 contender in his era...people are not going to remember how he was #14 on the ring magazine trust me...only the Floyd die hards. When they recall floyd, they asspciate his name with Manny since this era is weak. People remember the Alis, sugar rays, durans. At the end of the day, they're both atgs.

Holyfield was tied with Manny at 26th. FYI, the ring made the list and it was initially posted by Chrismart25. that's why I gave you the thread.

Don't be mad dude, everyone doesn't see boxing the way Manny fans on NSB do.

[bigjavi973]

Floyd scared of Pac cause he walked through Cotto. Hahahahaha Marquez schooled Pac in all 4 fights sure he knocked Marquez down but like a true champion he got back up. So Marquez schooled Pac Mayweather would wipe the floor with Pac. Sure Pac is fast and punches from different angles but what good would that do if he can't hit what he can't see he would make Pac look like an amateur.

Please take your triangle theories and log off and go back to your moms basement.

[bigjavi973]

Who cares what Ring Magazine thinks? History is what's important. It will have Manny ranked much higher than Floyd and Floyd will be remembered as a HOF'mer while Manny will be remembered as an ATG. Every ATG and Legend who speaks on Floyd, calls him a coward, basically. They admit he's skilled BUT he's skilled against B-C level fighters. Who's his biggest prime win, Dunn? What legacy fights has this man had?

hahahaha isn't ring magazine owned by ODH???

[sicko]

How can you claim to LOVE boxing, and not respect a fighter that steps into that ring? You can't say you love the sweet science if you don't have respect for it's practitioners. It's the same as not even respecting the craft.

I can understand not LIKING certain fighters though. But respect is entirely different.

They're not BOXING FANS they're just a fan of a BOXER. They signed up to the forum to Praise the guy they like and bash Mayweather or anybody else that is a threat to their favorite fighter

[MrRolltide91]

It's a cop out excuse because he has fought people who had other boxer problems like Maidana, but he only uses it when asked about fighting Pac. So Khan doesn't have Prescott and garcia problems? No Ramadan problems?

Floyd already said that
