    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, while Leija had over 20, and got dominated and KTFO in two rounds. That's what real champs do to the Ross Purrity's.

      Apparently Mayweather is cherry picking champions. The Mayweather hate is strong.

      Please let all of us know when another boxer accomplishes what Mayweather has in the 17 years he has been Top 10 P4P and 7 years as the #1 P4P boxer in the world.

      Currently Mayweather has victories over the 3 highest rated boxers in 3 divisions: Welterweight, Jr Middleweight and Middleweight.......#1 147 contender Pac, #1 Jr Middleweight contender Canelo and Lineal Middleweight champion Cotto

      Just for some perspective.....Triple G has faced 2 former/current major world champions in his 33 fights and Ward has faced 5 former/current major world champions in his 28 fights.

      Don't have to like Mayweather but give credit where it's due.

        It makes me laugh when people say Floyd is a fraud.

        He's been in the top 10 P4P since 1998, and is a five weight world champion.

        It's not Floyd's fault Oscar was old by the time they fought. Here's the Ring rankings from 1998 to 2006:

        http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Th..._Ratings:_2006

        Notice anything? Oscar was several weight classes above Floyd through most of those years. The only time they could have fought was in 2006 or 2007.

          Note for future thread starters. You should always avoid resorting to calling opponents of your initial post "cum guzzlers" in the 20th post of the thread. You either wanna go straight angry troll/hater from the first post or you actually wanna get a solid 2+ pages in before you show your true colors. Anything else shows a weak disposition or a poorly constructed argument that you can be broken down to everyone against you being "cum guzzlers" after so lil debating.

              Floyd was boxing's boogeyman before the De La Hoya fight; folks only started calling for a fight with Floyd once the De La Hoya money and Hatton money showed him to be the sport's new "money man".

              ignore the reality if you want.

                Let's be honest, Red Cyclone isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer is he? I very much doubt he thought through what was going to happen when the idea of this thread popped in his head.

                Unless he's pretending to be ******ed for whatever reason.

                  nowhere


                  Floyd's situation was the perfect storm...he turned heel at the perfect time and had captivated everyone with 24-7



                  fighters who do the Floyd thing now = Peter Quillin, Stevenson etc


                  not worth a ****
