Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Mayweather Great, But Never Fought Everybody

[joseph5620]

Either Holyfield is out of his mind or don't know S H I T about what's going on in boxing. Cause to say that Floyd didn't fight everybody when out of his 49 fights 26 were world title fights & between champions & exworld champions Floyd fought 24 & 3 were undefeated(Corales, Hatton & Canelo) 2 are already in the hall of fame(De La Hoya & Gatti) & so far 4 are sure candidates(Marquez, Mosley, Cotto & Pacquiao)..Floyd has done more than enough & with the money Floyd has made he could have retired years ago.¿What more does Holyfield want?

Holyfield wanted Mayweather to lose. He even said boxing "would not let Mayweather retire undefeated." "Paquiao won the fight."

That didn't happen so he's coming up with other ****** things to say instead of just being honest about why he's saying it.

Clowns...

I completely agree with Holyfield. Any CLOWN that can say Holy doesn't know **** is an abject MORON.

I remember when everyone was calling for Floyd to fight Canelo and that he was a scared little coward and would never fight him. Now, people always overlook that and that whipping he gave him. There's always going to be someone that the haters want Floyd to fight. Now its GGG, people actually want Floyd to fight a 160 fighter, da fuq. Floyd is one of the greatest fighters to ever put on a pair a gloves and will never get the credit he deserves, yes deserves.

Yet little Pacquiao fought a 165lb Margarito. I agree, Floyd definitely deserves credit for his win over Canelo.

One thing Is for certain and It doesn't matter what side of the fence you are on when It comes to Floyd. He Isn't half the warrior that Holyfield was and Holyfields resume speaks for Itself.

The Margarito fight was at a 150 pound catchweight after the beating Margarito received from Mosley. Not 165 or even 154. Also, Margarito was never good above 147.

If you were attempting to use that as an example of Mayweather fighting Golovkin at 160, that's a lame comparison.

Not lame at all, the discussion was about size differences. There was a huge size discrepancy and Margarito entered the ring at 165lbs. I dont care who Margarito fought before he fought Pacquiao. The discussion was on size. Catch weights and former opponents Is Irrelevant to the discussion and since you like bringing up catch weights, I do believe Floyd has been Involved In that also.

All these people just seem to forget that during a certain period of time Floyd Mayweather Jr was a high risk low reward fighter...those where the days when he was a young buck throwing combinations, letting them hands go and putting hurt on ninjas. (130-140ish Floyd)

People act as if Mayweather was 100% defense minded and picking fights from the get go.

He stayed calling out fighters back in the day, ask Shane, he didn't want to fight him because his tooth hurt (smh), Floyd was calling De La Hoya out after beating Manfredy...i can go on and on but all these hating ass people just rather yap their mouth before doing some research. That goes for you too Holyfield.

Remember when margarito Offered him 8 million dollars to fight???????????

Ill wait all my life for you to answer that for me. Hint at that time pbf wasnt making big money it was before he faced dlh. So don't try to come out with the lame ass excuse he makes more than that

You do know he had to weightdrained The younger greener canelo right? You do know that he came in overweight against already a smaller fighter in JMM right?

Simple things like that are facts not hate. I mean why can you admit that is the thrith is not like people make **** up like that.
