If those are A level wins then Floyd really is tbe.......lol because floyd dominated much better competition yet get grts criticized. Porter is a b level fighter so how can that be an A level win for brook? I have a very low opinion of porter's boxing skills. I actually prefer that floyd fought brook just to become undisputed because none of these ww's bring anything to the table worth while except zero fanbase and weak resumes.....Berto is a weak fight but Berto's also beat a better prime collazo so lets not ignore that....algieri is crap and Alexander is decent but tailormade for Khan.Bc why would Khans wins at 140 mean nothing? . I mean if they do, then discount everything Berto did before 2012, and this choice of an opponent is even worse. and even if they didn't count, Wins over Alexander and Collazo and Algieri is waay better than what Berto has done the past 2 yrs. cannot really dispute that, can we?
Also, Then what is an A level win - if Brook beating Porter doesn't qualify, or Porter beating Broner or Thurman beating Guererro, please let me know what would in fact qualify as an "A" level win in your opinionComment

Too little too late. Alexander had already lost to Porter and was no longer a title holder. Khan isn't built like The Beast Berto. He wants the fight given to him whereas The Beast tried to go out and earn it in the ring. Did he come up short? Yes. But at least he tried.Right, that would be an argument as to why Khan didn't deserve the fight 2 years ago. He has since fought and easily beat Alexander.
Berto lost to Ortiz, but just the fact that he agreed to fight Ortiz seems to be your best reason as to how he earned this fight. telling, don't you thinkComment

But you never really answered my question. Honestly, if wins over Porter (by Brook) or Broner (by Porter) aren't "A" level wins, then what would be?If those are A level wins then Floyd really is tbe.......lol because floyd dominated much better competition yet get grts criticized.

And you are comparing Floyds wins to those of Porter or Brook. You realize boxing existed before 2005, right? if you want to talk about TBE, compare Floyds wins to SRL's wins over Duran, Hearns, Hagler and BenitezComment

Thank you - you finished my argument for me. he came up short. "trying" to earn the fight gets you nothing. This isn't t-ball, no "A" for effortToo little too late.

A win over brook, Thurman, Bradley, Floyd(A++), pacquiao (A++)....those are the only A level wins at ww imo. I only said that Floyd must be tbe because of your low standards...the Guerrero's, broners and Porter's of of the world aren't A level fighters so how can they be A level wins?But you never really answered my question. Honestly, if wins over Porter (by Brook) or Broner (by Porter) aren't "A" level wins, then what would be?

Actually trying does earn you something because Berto landed the fight while Khan is trying.Thank you - you finished my argument for me. he came up short. "trying" to earn the fight gets you nothing. This isn't t-ball, no "A" for effort

Neither deserve a shot to be fair.
Khan has done nothing since being iced by Garcia, how many years ago now? He still hasn't fought a real top Welterweight. Berto doesn't deserve it even more though.Comment

He does have a point.
The same people bashing the fight will be watching it. Whether it be at a bar, a free stream, friends house, etc.
The haters, detractors, and critics have put more money in the man's pocket than his greatest fans, and they are too ****** to realize it.
Every article, thread, or media outlet discussing the fight, good or bad, is helping promote the fight
Ali fought some scrubs in his day, even in his title reigns....when he was floyds age he was losing to an 8 fight novice Leon Spinks...look at the guys Ali record past age 30...Jurgen Blin, Alfredo Evangelista,Jean-Pierre Coopman are nowhere near the cailbre of Andre Berto or Robert Guerrero who were major world titlists and legit top ten welterweights....some of yall disrespect good fighters just cause Mayweather is fighting them ..he fought some greats, good fighters and also some low tier guys...does that not make him the greatest
Mayweather is a great fighter and his consistency should be commended.
The haters talk about him more than the ones that love himLast edited by therealpugilist; 08-07-2015, 11:26 AM.Comment
