    86-6 or 48-0?

    What's better, 48-0 but you can choose who you want to box or 86-6 (Mayweathers amateur record) where someone else chooses your opponents?

    The ridiculous way amateur fights are scored makes me pay little attention to them. The pros is where it's at. Some great amateur boxers were complete failures as pros. Mayweather has a great pro record and that is vastly more important and impressive than his amateur record.

      86-6.

      0 is overrated a lot now. I mean it;s good you've never lost but if you avoided a lot of guys, so what?

      FMJ says he's the best because he hasn't lost. Well someone like JCC went 86-0 before his draw with Pernell. If he retired before the Pernell fight, he wouldn't even be ranked the same rank as he is now and we know Floyd wouldn't acknowledge him as the best.

        So an 86-6 amateur record is better than close to 50 pro fights, without a loss?



        This thread is about to go full ******, I'm outta here, peace!

              JCC actually lost his 12th fight by DQ..but is was overturned by the commision(who his manager was a member of)
              and alot of his wins were against people making their debut or with **** records..now out of 48 fights 26 were title fights for Floyd...out of 115 for Chavez only 37 were title fights..LEARN YOUR HISTORY
