    WTF are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with race? Dummy.

They did it with Sugar Ray Leonard and they did it with Lennox Lewis. If you retire at the top "you're ducking" but if you keep fighting past your best days you're "washed up." People will always find an excuse.

      And I'm sorry but because things aren't fair does not make them right or accurate.


      Yep this is one of the reasons why fighters don't retire on top, they don't want to be accused of ducking a fighter.

        Any career where you didn't take risks is gonna be considered overated. He fought Pac 5 years too late after Pac came off a ko to JMM, and Floyd didn't even take risks in the actual fight with Pac itself. CW with canelo. Glovegate with Maidana. Wont fight GGG etc etc.

            Red Cyclone, you know we can see that you had Guererro in your Top 10 P4P when Floyd fought him don't you?

            He ducked the hell out of these posts. Red Cyclone gets owned in his own thread yet again.

              Over-rated since he was 33? When he fought Marquez/Mosley?

              The same age GGG is now with Martin Murray as his best win?
              The same age many great fighters were washed up by?

              Red Cyclone you are a moron and in case you haven't noticed, Brook handled Porter and Khan is running for his life...don't blame him though, he did need a robbery to beat Algeri.

                How is that when Mayweather is the older man? I'm getting sick of the past prime talk. In 2009 Mayweather was even sharper and even more precise. Hell, he might have dropped him. On this forum Manny is the only one that could have declined. Mayweather is just so good that you barely see it. When was Floyds prime years? You pick a date. He's still winning wide decisions. He's almost 40. I'm also a Manny fan but this is getting ridiculous.

                  I'm saying it's mostly ethnic posters who claim Rocky was overrated. Are you dense or just dumb?

                    His CV is overrated by some. He's obviously a elite fighter. But if you're calling the likes of Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana great wins (see several threads made over the last 24 hours), then you're overrating those wins.
