    I know that's not what the ts ment, but I wanted to answer honestly.
    • Stayed in jail
    • Beating up woman
    • Threatening to kill others for stealing your girl
    • Choosing when you want to fight
    • Being openly racist
    • Disgracing the sport of boxing by spitting all over real legends


    This is the Mayweather legacy, he is the cancer of boxing that needs to be cut out but retirement will do.

        Considering its so easy to go 20 years undefeated through 5 weight classes, 4 of which Lineal, 13 world titles, 10 #1 ranked fighters beaten, 7 Top 10 P4P fighters beaten, 22 world champions beaten. AND all whilst making the most money a boxer has ever made.

        It's so easy I'm surprised only Floyd has managed to pull it off.

        Because we all know doing the above is extremely easy and not impressive at all.
        Amazing isnt it,it is so easy im a surprised he is the only one to do it

            Floyd doesn't tend to fight people with high KO percentages like a Diego Corrales for example who was 33-0 with 27 KO's.
            Or Ndou who was 31-1 with 30 ko's

                  Floyd wouldn't have fought Ross Purrity because he has too high a KO %? Sorry, wait.....fell off my chair laughing.

                  First, and this is just a few quick examples, explain Corrales? P4P one of the hardest SFW punchers in the sport and this entire era.

                  What about N'Dou who was an actual ranked, proper fighter with a near 100% KO ratio at 31-1 with 30 KOs?

                  What about Maidana who has been one of the hardest punchers P4P in the sport for a decade and has 31 out of 34 KO's?

                  Gerena, about a 80-90% KO ratio at 34-2 with about 30 KOs.

                  Castillo, with 57 KOs in 66 fights.

                  Marquez, 40 KO's in 50 fights.

                  Cotto, 33 in 40 fights.

                  Canelo 33 in 42 fights.

                  Shall we mention Pac too?

                  What about Mosley, long considered one of the hardest punchers in the sport and was the only guy to ever utterly annihilate, drop and stop the iron chinned Margarito right before fighting Floyd?

                  Not only did Floyd fight and beat them all, he did it without getting knocked down once. All championship caliber, world class top ranked opponents, most of them bigger and weighing significantly more.

                  Now, you bring up some ****ing bum with a 50% KO ratio that has lost nearly as many fights as he's won at a shocking record of 30-20-5, never made it past club fighter bum status who decked Wlad numerous times before stopping him?

                  Wlad, who outsizes every fighter he faces by a freaking mile and dwarfs most of the division, getting decked and stopped by complpete bums!

                  A guy that has a meagre, weak 50% KO, is an out of shape shelf stacker and gets beaten nearly as much as he wins against basically the lowest level the sport has to offer? You're comparing the guy that embarrassingly, humiliatingly, hilariously KTFO out of a supposed ATG, much, much, much bigger Wlad to all those above as being better and someone Floyd would be scared to fight?

                  The same Wlad that has been stopped numerous times by other low level fighters and has been knocked down 12 times in his career and can't win a fight without holding, wrestling, clinching, hugging, cheating, humping and basically just being a massive grab ass *** for 12 rounds in hometown reffing? Hey, if Floyd holds, at least it's got a purpose and is either setting up offence or creating defense and hardly ever happens despite the ridiculous misconception created by Pac ****. I remember watching a fight where Wlad, at the very start of the first bell ran across the ring and instead of throwing a hayemaker against some bum, just clinched the guy and held on for dear life. I think it scared the opponent so much he just gave up to get the **** out of there.

                  I think a better fighter to compare Purrity to on Floyd's record is someone like Louie Leija. 21-15, 45% KO record. Instead of knocking out a china chinned, flailing ****** who still hadn't learned not to panic and look like bambi on ice when anyone threw a punch at him, despite being a three year pro with nearly 30 fights, he faced Floyd, who had less than ten fights in only about 6 months, while Leija had over 20 as a five year veteran pro, and got dominated and KTFO in two rounds. That's what real champs do to the Ross Purrity's.

                  Instead of the veteran, hard hitting pro Leija KTFO out of a green, completely inexperienced Mayweather he got his ass kicked and KTFO himself.

                  Purrity on the other hand, was smaller, slower, weaker, just ****ing ****e and only a little more experienced and still KTFO of Wlad.
