    Gotta go with Mayweather. He's consistently fought much higher calibre of opposition whereas Wlad has spent his career fighting mainly subnational level opponents since he was destroyed within 200 seconds by a 38 yr old shot neverwas retiree.

      If it was the year 1938.. I would agree.

      Except it's the year 2015. So no. Just no!

        It doesn't sound like you have. Modern Germany is one of the least nationalist places ever but the average American's only exposure to Germany is reruns of "Was Hitler an Alien?" on the history channel.

        That and... The example of nationalism you gave (fans adopting foreign fighters) is not even what the word means.

            but wlad has big power in both hands unlike floyd. floyd usually has to win it by points and hes had a close call or two lately

              Beating Mayweather anywhere for anyone, especially Pacquiao. Since he was clearly outboxed and outclassed even if the fight was in Antarctica. When will Pac fans move on and get over it, you are #2 of this generation, period. No questions, no excuses, no controversy. Deal with it. The only true possible "gift" decision Floyd has maybe gotten his entire career was JLC 1. Period. ODLH fight was close, Maidana 1 was close...but Floyd still won them both. Pac/Floyd was not close lol. 116-112 is even being generous to Pac.

              So let's not BS and act like Floyd gets decisions because he is in Vegas. That MD Canelo score was utter BS and Floyd beat him as clearly as he beat Pac. That wasn't in his favor? He gets decisions because he is the best fighter on the planet P4P. Now move on.

                  Wlad has already lost by TKO in Germany..

                  If its points, than Floyd, i don't recall anyone coming even close to beating Wlad on decision. Floyd always has Castillo looming over him.

                  Wlad has also fought in the U.K, Ukraine, Switzerland, Austria, US and Russia of all places to take Povetkin 0.

                    Klitschko has proved he is just as impervious in Germany as anywhere else, ie Moscow und NY.

                    Floyd will make anyone look ****** anywhere, you don't make guys like Oscar and Manny look ****** just because it was Vegas ! He made them look ****** because that's what he does, the venue has no baring whatsoever. Don't envy him because he made the mecca of boxing his home town. That's like the dream of every boxer who has ever competed professionally, Floyd just made it a reality. Haters gonna hate n all that.

                    Floyd could fight Manny 10 times in Macao, and he would school his ass again and again like he did in Vegas.

                      Floyd by a long shot..........

                      Good topic here but Floyd is more difficult to defeat in Vegas, by far! Did you not see what happened on May 2nd? Floyd was out-landed, out-countered, wobbled a couple of times, and he still got the decision. He was rewarded for running and avoiding contact BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. If you take away his illegal holding, grabbing while your opponent is throwing punches, pushing to the face with open gloves, forearming, and pushing on the back of the neck, Manny would've possibly stopped him. Kenny Bayless was at his house having dinner4 months before the fight. Now, how is that legal? Isn't that a conflict of interest? Floyd isn't ******. He fought like he KNEW nomatter what he did, he'd get rewarded for it. Smh. Who would run that much in a fight of that magnitude, unless they knew something we didn't? On top of all of this, Floyd only got a couple of months for beating Josie Harris. If that were me or you, or Mike Tyson, we would've gotten 3-5 years. HIs own 12 yr. old son called him a coward in court. Now, you tell me what the more difficult task is.
