I think it's safe to say, Mayweather has probably the best defence in boxing history

[Mr.Fantastic]

Excessive clinching is not defense. It's cheating with the aid of the ref. It just clearly means he has no inside skills and would get KTFO if the ref happens to do his job penalizing an abominable tactic in this sport.

Good post.

Fixed it for you. I'm pretty sure it is the same idiot cycling through his alts.

[Killer_of_Sheep]

I wouldn't say he is THE BEST. But he is surely one of the best defensive fighters ever and there shouldn't be any doubt about it.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

It's hard to compare a Flyweight vs Welterweight vs Heavyweight in terms of defense. It's different.

[GOD-FR33]

Laughable.........

Again. Only a Fanboy, Newbie, or idiot thinks that Floyd is the greatest defensive fighter, ever. This is the same guy who got touched up by Corley, Agustus, Castillo, Cotto, Hatton at times, Maidana, Hoya, and Manny. What that tells me is, he has flaws!!! He can be hit by a good jab, good body puncher, or a smart fighter. And a lot of his opponents are B Level guys. You couldn't hit Whitaker with any one punch consistently. FACT. When you post BS threads like this, YOU LOOK ******! What if Berto touches him up by chance, what will you say then? Idiots. Smh.

TS keeps making threads with grandiose claims regarding the level of Floyd's greatness.

Looks like he is very publicly trying to establish a base negotiating position to create a consensus here at NSB.

By starting at the "greatest ever at boxing skill X" he's trying to define the spectrum within which the argument will be made.

The Klittards been trying to do the same **** for years.

I find the practice to be a bit dishonest and will not venture an opinion OT.

I'm just saying.

That is interesting, I think it is just sticking a finger in people's eye to make them react. Given the subject matter who generates strongly opposing opinions it is a recipe to create drama.

It is hard to even compare, do you compare against an era thus judging a guy against his relevant peers or do you do direct comparison that could also include video evidence of you judging the fighters.


It could be a good discussion topic but how it is laid out screams other motives than having a real discussion.

It seems to me that the only thing we disagree about here is motive; you say he's just trolling. Meh....you could be right.

On the other hand the tone of my post indicates to me (truly, I don't remember) that this thread was one of a set of threads from around the same time by the same guy that had way too much ****-gobbling to be taken at face value.

However, seems that some folks who's opinion I tend to respect have come and made a viable discussion out of it regardless of the intentions of the op.

So maybe I'll read it and learn something after all.

Never been down once in 49 fights.

Greatest ever defensive.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

"Greatest defense ever"?

Gosh, Floyd is so overrated!
