Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Don't Need 50th Win, I'm Okay With 49

As long as that "0" remains intact, Floyd will continue to be able generate hundreds of millions of dollars.

He will fight well into his 40's.

If you want to appreciate Mayweather's dominance of the sport, pick any ATG, go to boxrec, and look at the caliber of boxers they were fighting beyond age 35. Yet and still, at nearly 40 years old, we're asking Mayweather to fight the top talent from 140-160, and he's the favorite in almost any bout. That's amazing!

People like to put their blinders on when comparing MW to other all time greats. Majority of the all time greats were on a downhill around his age.

I've never seen a grown man change his mind so much.

Hes having problems finding a worthy fighter for #49 let alone #50

Hope he does retire.

He will get his respect in a few years

Along side the top ATG's

Floyd has had a great career. but people just need to stop with the comparisons to guys from the past. I'm not here to debate who is better one era from the other, but do you really think SRR or Henry Armstrong, or many others for that matter could'nt of went 48-0 by age 38 if they had the kind of power over their careers that Floyd has.

SRR had like 135 fights in his prime, before his first retirement,. fought anywhere from lightweight to light heavyweight and lost twice. Hell he weighed 157lbs for his lhw bout. Do you really think Floyd would be undefeated if he did the same thing? Eventually someone has your number.

Do I think Mayweather could do what SRR did? Hell NO! Do I think that SRR wished he could've done what Mayweather did? Hell YEAH! I think what Mayweather did as a boxer should be celebrated and not hated! We have free agency in all major sports! Why is that? We have drug testing in all major sports! Why is that? The athletes changed the game with the power of player unions. Mayweather has changed the game BY HIMSELF! That's just simply amazing!

Bull crap Floyd cherry picked a lot of his opponents and ducked fighters and even the ones who people say ducked him he was more than happy to not force the issue to fight them when it mattered,to many dam holes in Floyd resume and to top it off he makes blacks look like ignorant fools, Floyd should be destroyed for promoting black stereotypes he is everything that wrong with black community

If the Black Community is depending on athletes to define their community, then they are/were ****ed long before Floyd Mayweather. When we judge the White Community, do we look to Babe Ruth, Max Schmeling, Rocky Marciano, or Gerry Cooney? The best fighters come from the bottom of society, and they often reflect the segment of society they come from. The Black Community should be defined by Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Noble Drew Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Stokley Carmichael, etc., NOT Muhammad Ali, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Floyd Mayweather, and Oprah. There is a difference between Leaders and Celebrities! Ignorant people are the ones who don't know the difference!

Most ATG at the age of 35 had over 100 fights to their credit Mayweather doesn't even have half that. He is able to still be fighting at this level because of the wear and tear on the body.....why is it that quarterbacks can play at an all pro level til they are approaching 40 and most running backs are out of the league by age 30???? Age is important but not as important as they try to make it out to be. Wear and tear is the name of the game.
