      Give me all your questions at once. I won't be able to reply cause I'm heading out and plus I'm buzzing but when I'm sober, I'd be sure to answer them. Just know you better give the same props for the same thing. I will find a flaw.




      When someone keeps proving you wrong and wrong again, no matter how much you hating, you have to give props. Pac did that. Hell I even thought weight drained Oscar was going to whoop him, damn was I wrong. That's what GREAT fighters do, they go against the odds and not choose which route is the easiest for the money.
      Couldn't have said it any better. Thanks for the time to reply to my question. Pac really is a throw back.

        It should never really have been in question.

          yeah its confirmed...Youre a dumbass! Thinking that Floyds resume and ducking an entire WW division by retiring is enough to make him..."The greatest" If you believe that than youre even dumber than we already think you are!

            Pretty much every boxing scribe considers floyd t g e greatest fighter of this generation. Not even a reason to argue the point anymore.

              Most definitely, IMO.

              And it will be remebered as such.

              He was already ranked higher in most lists (The Ring etc) before he had beaten him let alone after.

                Kovalev beat Hopkins. Should we rank Kovalev higher on an all-time list now?




                I'm not saying Pacquiao is better than Floyd. I respect both fighters as boxers. Irregardless of Mayweather beating his girlfriend, or Pacquiao being a sore loser. They are both once in a generation type of talent.

                Floyd deserves to be higher, but I just want people to keep in mind where they started there careers. Flyweight for Pacquiao, Featherweight for Mayweather. Big difference. Seeing Pacquiao boxing at Welterweight reminds me of Tyson at Heavyweight. Smaller than your average person at that weight class, but a very successful fighter nonetheless. Not to mention, neither fighter is at their prime anymore. Should I name other professional fighters that showed wear and tear at a younger age than Floyd? It happens. Not everybody ages physically/mentally as well as Floyd and Pacquiao could have. At the same time, who's to say one of them has deteriorated far more than the other?

                The fight could have played out much more differently a long time ago. Someone could have been KO'd, instead of both of them looking like they could have gone another 5 rounds. Mayweather before he use to do this Cuban style was pretty aggressive at times. Pacquiao, was obviously a much more aggressive fighter than he is now. That fight against Floyd showed it. He's boxing/more methodical--- which unfortunately doesn't work against someone who has speed to match, fantastic skill, and has superior height and reach advantage.


                TBH, I wish the fight had been 15 rounds. Oh well. The end result wouldn't have changed anyways.

                    Who has a better resume @ ww than may weather that has been there since 05 to today



                    When you sober up give Me holla


                    The sad thing is the people they say he avoided had one maybe two wins over top ten guys at the weight


                    May weather has PAC, Marquez, hatton, Guerrero, maidana 2x, judah, baldomir, Mitchell, Mosley, ortiz

                    All were champs at other weights in their respective careers... 7-8 of them were lineal or held a major title at ww in their career



                    Its not even close


                    No fighter has fought every good fighter in their era...especially these lil guys
                    PAC, One arm
                    Marquez Cheated him on weight (moved up 3 divisons for $$)
                    Hatton fought him at 147 Not 140 where Hatton was best
                    Guerrero WHO? lmfao
                    Maidana 2x, Twice...for what? Fans wanted Khan (remember his poll to fans)
                    Judah, A ***ing bum...hes never won a fight with a named opponent! EVER
                    Baldomir, lmfao....
                    Mitchell,
                    Mosley, Old as shlt and waaaaay past prime
                    Ortiz Had to sucker punch him foe a win ...GTFO

                    Thats what the greatest of a generation is in your opinion lmfao. I guess you think Lance Armstrong is the greatest also? Or hell im just taking a shot in the dark here...but you probably think the ***ing Easter bunny is real too!

                      Wait until hes not relivent anymore. Until hes not making money for these bullshlt ratings like Ring and all other sanctioning bodies. Only then will a few chosen dummies will remember him as great. While the rest of the sane boxing world will compare him to the late greats of the sport and say..."Floyd Mayweather NEVER did this or that" It was all a show to make pockets fat. No Legacy intended!
