Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Beat The Big 3 - Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto

[therealpugilist]

The standards for Floyd greatness is substantially lower than that of other fighters. He doesn't have to fight prime opponents he just has to beat them. He left welterweight while after one beat each other to death and came back to pick up the scraps.

Everyone know Manny wasn't the same after fighting Margarito and taking body shots from a much larger opponent, who Floyd also ducked.

Manny had to fight prime fighters though 8 division, is considered FOTD, universally recognized 3x fighter of the year, has beaten the most world champions in the history of the sport, and has 70 pro fights. But still some idiots believes Floyd compares.

A gift decision over a smaller man doesn't make you better, lol.

He fought Cotto way too late to be considered a great win and Canelo was Canelo.

you do realize that every fighter in history has faced young, shop worn, or prime guys



As far as stats youre waaaaay off


Mayweather has twice as many title fight wins, beat more champions than manny, has like 3-4 times as many title defenses, besides being liked more and having more fights, their isn't many stats that Pacquaio get the upperhand


Mayweather has 15+ less fights and beat more champions and hall of famers

Not excuses, it's the truth. He waited for Pac n Cotto to get whopped before he fought them and fought Canelo at a catch weight.

Really? Pacquiao had been KO'd twice early in his career, got whooped by an over the hill Morales, and arguably lost to Marquez twice when the Pacquiao v Mayweather fight was first even talked about. Its not Floyd's fault Marquez was able to whoop Pacquiao's ass when he got his rematches.

Before Floyd retired in 2007 Cotto had never even been in the ring with a top fighter. In 2012 Cotto had more experience and was at a weight class where has looked even stronger.

I can't argue with him beating the top 3 earners aside from himself. It's true. Big props for that, it's just that ending with Berto leaves a sour taste in fans mouths.

Oh please. Cotto wanted nothing to do with him when Floyd was still with tr. and he woulda fought PAC if he didn't duck drug testing. This topic is so tired

[FrankieBruno]

All of those wins are tarnished

[Luilun]

Catch weight and drained, wash up, one arm and previously knocked out and Cotto was on a mental break down I wouldn't call this the big 3 Try Lara ,Thurman , and Porter a slickster and two young bucks I don't want to hear about handicap matches

Twice as many? Seems more like you aren't counting certain Manny opponents and counting all of mayweathers. Where do you get your numbers from. Maybe you can share them with me.

I did the research myself and counted 19 for Floyd and 19 for Manny. 23 for Manny including rematches and only 21 for Floyd including rematches.

Manny has beaten more current or former world champions than Floyd. Numbers don't lie, right?

As far as Hall of Famers beaten they're both tied at 1 since De las Hoya is the only legitimate hall of Famers. That's only counting opponents in the HOF by the way not who could be.

Not excuses, it's the truth. He waited for Pac n Cotto to get whopped before he fought them and fought Canelo at a catch weight.

And Cottos been whopped two more times since. And Cotto vs Canelo is at a catch weight. So are you going to discredit Canelo if he beats Cotto?

[VG_Addict]

What was Cotto's best win in 2007, when Floyd was "supposed" to fight him?

[Mercdoc1998]

Another con job by Fraud

Let's look at the list of Fraud's so called " fight history.
Fought a dehydrated Chico Corales
Lost to an out of shape de La Hoya but was gifted the decision
Fought Cotto only after Pacman dismantled him
Fought Canelo only when he was too young to be a serious chanllenge
Would not fight with Marquez instead just danced and hugged
Would not fight with An injured Pacman.... Just more dancing and hugging and sissy punching
Floyd is the biggest paper champ in any sports history. Just a cherry picker who never put himself in a challenge in an entire career!!! That's Floyd
