Comments Thread For: Roach Admits: Floyd Mayweather is King of This Era

[MC Hammer]

I'm sure Floyd senior knows or thinks PAC was the best but won't return the compliment as Floyd is his son

Whatever you have to tell yourself.

Fighting smaller guys.. Reminds me of whats his name.... 154-168 tho

B-Hop was great. But, his career was incredibly calculated. Even moreso than Floyd's. The 20 title defenses gets a lotta hype. But he fought guys like Robert Allen and Antwan Echols multiple times during that run. Basically sat around and waited for superstar welterweights to come come to him. Showed no interest in going across the pond to fight Calzage. Wanted no part od a RJ rematch. Even signed on, then backed outta a fight with Toney. And even after his win over Tarver, which IMO is the best win of his career. His best wins after that were Pavlik and Winky, who were moving up two divisions. And basically, the only reason he's remained relevant is because an underdog champion in Pascal emerged. He's great no doubt. But, there were a lotta smoke-n-mirrors to what did in his career.

Yeah, Floyd was the best of this era

the best at maximizing profit, while cherrypicking opponents, ducking threats and boring us with his safety first style against overmatched no hopers

who wouldn't want to earn 30 millions each time, for running and playing tag for 36 min?

Stick to facts. Pac did NOT fight the best in his division. Let's look at his opponents since 2006 and let the facts speak for itself:

Oscar: Forced to fight at 147 and was completely drained
Cotto: Forced to fight at 145 and was drained too
Margarito: Forced to fight at 150 and was drained too
Mosley: Mosley was coming off a UD beating at the hands of Mayweather and was pretty much done. Why fight a guy who just got beat the hell up?
Rios: Rios is a BUM. I don't need to say much. If Floyd fought Rios, these *******s would be trolling all over the internet
Bradley: Bradley is a joke of a fighter. Just because he was undefeated means nothing.
Clottey: Who the hell is this guy?
Marquez: Marquez beat Pac 3 times then literally destroyed him with a single punch in their fourth encounter. The same Marquez that could NOT win a single round against Floyd
Algieri: Nobody knew who this guy was before he fought Pacman
David Diaz: Who is this?
Jorge Solis: Who is this?
Oscar Larios: Who is this?

There you have it. Pac is the most hyped boxer in history

Prettty much the only thing I disagree with because Margs was coming from 147, but had been out a year so it still wasn't a great win. i think his fans like to ride the wave of beating Morales and Barrera, Barrera was still on track, but Morales was shot so I can't give him as much credit as they do for the Morales wins. Either way he was a great fighter, not really ATG, but great and seriously hyped.

Too much meds can cause frequent dementia..

Parkinson's has taken over your life Roach. It has come full circle.

Time to retire roach. You fuvked up predictions and constant stuttering shows that someone has to tell you to give it up. Your a joke.

You obviously lost your equilibrium.

Your sounding more like the joke coach roach lmao

Pac and Cotto carried you at this stage of your existence. It's over, time to hit the brakes Roach. Rest well.

Oh don't forget for Pac to hire memo, since you are now in the Floyd IV cool aid. Smh..

I'm sure Floyd senior knows or thinks PAC was the best but won't return the compliment as Floyd is his son

Of course rjj is, but I keep thinking rjj is the ERa before Floyd. BH is of course better than Floyd as well.
The PAC that was steamrolling everyone is greater as well. The PAC senior didn't want his dson to figjht

The genisus of the term "fan" is the word "fanatic." And the hate Floyd Mayweather generates in people is unlike anything I've seen in my life as a sports fan. And I live in the South, SEC country. Where people are shot and killed over football games. And as ridiculous as that is. Folks here have generations upon generations of hate bred into them for certain rival school. Hell, many of Floyd's biggest haters very likely only heard of the guy in the last decade. And many in a time period shorter than that. If one the man's chief rivals can concede his greatness, why can't you???

F Roach...

Yeah, Floyd was the best of this era

Green K sent. Roach is losing his mind! None of the fighters he ever trained can touch Manny, man. He keeps backstabbing him with comments like this, which are untrue and even saying Postol and Cotto are his "favorite" fighters. Seriously? It's like he's mad at Manny for the judges robbing him against Floyd. Roach and Arum are disloyal and I am glad Manny is retiring next year. Arum is trying to push Manny out and Roach's condition is hindering his thought process. I used to be a Roach fan but now my opinion is F him!

The King of This Era. It's official.

Might I add, if you read the article....he says it with the utmost reluctance. As if someone put a proverbial gun to his head.

Is Freddie having a road to Damascus moment?

As far as revelations go, this one's hardly startling.
