The biggest thing Mayweather did is create the biggest fan base based on hate. No one in boxing history has been as hated as Mayweather. People who hate him spend more time talking about their hate of Mayweather than they talk about guys they enjoy. Its a fascinating thing to see.
In honor of Floyds retirement: list his best ring moments!

But there was no great moments in that fight it was just a complete ass whooping.
I guess when Floyd was beating him so bad he actually made Gatti turn away while still landing body shots, that was kind of dope, but still, that fight had ass whooping written all over it, Gatti just didn't understand.Comment

There are still there, those old videos.
It's only about the last 5 or so years that the focus has been defense.Comment

I prefer 130-140 Mayweather without a doubt, most do actually but the beauty of it all is that he left a lot of great performances at those weights. No different from Hopkins at '60, sometimes he's unbearable to watch now in comparison to how devastating he once was.
Now I know you'll go into your typical rant of Hopkins.

It's funny because back in 06-07 when YouTube was relatively new if you typed in "Floyd Mayweather Jr." or "Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather" you could only get highlight videos that were entirely clips of him being aggressive and offensive.

Imo he became the "safe floyd" after castillo 1. That's when he realized how safe he could fight and win, and he did it in the rematch and didn't look back.
Against zab he was more aggressive but that was against a guy he knew would pack it in early.
And that's kind of my point, floyd has no great moments because he was too safe. Floyd is great fighter with no great moments.Comment
