'I'm bored, lets watch a Floyd Mayweather fight' - Said noone ever

[ELHURACAN58]

Wow, the ******ity on this forum is never ending. You honestly compared a three time golden gloves champ, Olympic medalist, five division weight champion, a three time ppv ratings record holder, and a sure fire hall of famer to Sven Ottke?

Ok, I'm done

Im not comparing his accomplishments, Im comparing his fights to Ottkes when stacked against other all time great fighters.

We still see Ali vs Frazier, Tyson vs anyone. You name the fighter. When it comes to Floyd, can you honestly go back to one of his fights and say: "Yeah that was a great fight."

I for one cant. Its 2015 and the only Floyd fight I can still remember before 2007 was the Gatti fight. In a decade from now Ill probably have a hard time remembering who he fought, and by 2050 Ill be saying: Floyd who?

I've always found it funny the people who claim Floyd is boring tune in to watch him every times he fights. Watch all his interviews the All-Access everything.

Exciting seeing you -- and Dweebler-- both get knocked at the same time doe.

The build up and aftermath of Mayweather-Hatton were some of the best times on here.

Weebler's butt is still hurting to this very day.

The only thing people will remember Ricky Hatton for is that he was a City fan, that would blow up in size in between fights the unprofessional fool.

Mayweather will not be remembered for action because all of the people who are judging him either forgot that he had a career before he moved to 147 or never saw him fight prior to moving to 147.

In his fights from 130 to 140, Mayweather had a 70 percent KO ratio. Three of those guys he KO'd were world champions at the time and one of them became a world champion after he lost to Mayweather. He will be remembered as an action fighter if someone examines his entire career instead of looking at his career starting at 147.

Thirty years from now, Mayweather will be remembered as a marketing genius. He will be remembered as the biggest seller of PPV's in history even though he only had a 25 percent KO ratio after he moved to 147. He will be remembered as greatest marketer in the history of all professional sports, not just boxing. He will be remembered as a guy who, for the last half of his career, was a pure boxer who was not considered exciting by the nitwits who thought that all boxing matches should end in a knockout.

He will be remembered as the only boxer who ever made $200 million for one match. He will be remembered as the guy who made more in one night of boxing than 99 percent of all other boxers before or after him ever made in their career. He will be remembered as the guy who fought more current world champions in his career than any boxer in history.

He may not be remembered positively by the type of fans who frequent this site, but no one will be able to dispute what he has accomplished in and outside of the ring.

People really have no clue, Floyd was a dynamo at the lower weights, but as he went up in weight he no longer had the same power and he had to protect his brittle hands. Guy absolutely had some amazing and exciting fights. Which fights weren't all that exciting? Pacquaio and maybe Canelo, that's about it. The Madaina fights were great, the Cotto fight was good too.

He's the best if this generation, I hope some people start looking at all of his fights because it's an amazing and exciting body of work.
