    Either way I'm a fan of Floyd but I won't praise him for Guerrero, JMM, Berto, and Mosley
    But would you praise him for a fight with Pacquiao 6 years after the time when he should have fought him?
    Floyd had the the opportunity to get that fight but we all know him being the "A-side" was the issue with his stipulations agreed.

        The thing is Floyd is held to a higher standard than basically any other active boxer. If a young and up and coming boxer went through Floyd's resume through the last five years he'd be considered a superstar. Look at all the hype Danny Garcia got after beating Lucas Matthyse even though Matthyse beat mostly nobodies.

        If a young fighter like Keith Thurman went through JMM, Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto, Canelo, Maidana, and Manny Pacquiao all within five years he'd already be considered a future hall of famer. Nearly all of Manny Pacquiao's biggest wins came against guys who were on the slide and very few of you mention it. Because you hold Floyd to a higher standard than Manny. Had Manny beat Floyd on May 2nd it would have been considered the greatest win ever, even though Floyd is older than Manny no one would mention Floyd's age. But Floyd beating Manny the haters just say "Manny was past his prime."

              Yes a young and up and coming fighter not someone who is established, being the greatest of all time is more than waiting about for the best moment to strike.
              I'm sorry but waiting for the best moment doesn't make you the greatest, Floyd only fights two times a year its absolutely not much that we ask him to fight the best each and every time that he steps into that ring BECAUSE he is the P4P #1 and he says he is "TBE" so essentially the Berto fight is something which is totally non defensible.

              You have to look past your Floyd tinted specs and realize that this man is by far worse than the combo of Marciano, Calzaghe and Ottke combined.
              No legitimate historian of boxing will rate Floyd up their with the all time greats.

                Its not the fighters name that matters. Its when you fight the fighter that means everything.

                  Ofcourse there is, Wladimir Klitschko has shat all over Floyd Mayweather resume, all you can do is fight EVERYONE when the moment arises so on that alone it's pretty obvious Klitschko will be rated above Floyd.

                  Could you imagine the absolute outrage If we were still waiting on Wladimir agreeing a fight with David Haye to this day?
                  Well that is what Floyd's entire career has been about, its a joke to the sport he has disgraced boxing.
