Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. on Roach Admitting Floyd Jr. is The Era's Best

[kiDynamite92]

Fck outta here

Lennox retired in 2003 and last time I checked he beat Holyfield

Also

Duran fought in 2001 buddy

Stop it.

Duran didn't fight in this era and so what if he lost to Lennox? He beat Bowe, Tyson, foreman and also drew with Lewis before.

Boxing is plagued by haters, unusual and weird levels of disdain towards particular athletes. It isn't new but it's much more rampant and "COOL" to just hate on fighters for no good reason at all. Floyd was great, Pacquaio was great, ODH was great, Ward is great, Golovkin is great, Hopkins is not human, Fury for all his shhh outside of the ring is great.

and we know this how? when will he prove it? and i don't wanna hear "they ducking doe" either.

Wowwwww....Fury is great? The jury is still wayyyy out on that one. You have to give Klitch the nod before fury. And not sure what it is to debate about Mayweather not being the best of his generation......who's the close second and third then. Then compare.....I don't see anyone who did what he did?

I always give credit where credit is due and have always respected Floyd. Just thought to bring up that point as it is technically true. Now if you were to look at who's the best fighter in the last decade then that would obviously be Floyd.

the point was the eras best

its 2015 and since 1995 Holyfield had one big win and he was 33-34 when he beat Tyson


He isnt even from their era, he fought in it at an advanced age....thats like saying Roy Jones is from this era knowing damn well he turned pro in the 80s and his best years were in the 90s....he got ktfo by Tarver in 04 and has been on a skid since....hell Jones turned pro years after Holyfield

WTF??? Does this make sense to anyone?

No, it doesn't. I was going to respond, but I didn't know where to begin. This dude is a loon...lol.

Evander Holyfield was an active fighter during his era and I would believe his overall resume blows Mayweathers out of the water.

they are far from the same era man

GGG and Fury have not proved greatness nor has Ward

Let me break it down for you in a more simple manner.

Holyfield competed in several era's, including the one in which Mayweather was the best. He didn't accomplish much during the era where Floyd was the best but did so in the era before. I'm saying he was the best fighter to have fought in this era when looking at all the fighter who have fought in this era and examining there whole resume. If you were going to look at what was accomplished in this era alone, then obviously his record is ****.

So in other words, he's not from the same era as Floyd.

Christ you're slow.

....Thanks for clearing that up, I obviously wasnt helping him understand


When Holyfield was in his prime, Mayweather was in middle school smdh

You said 'overall resume in his era' so I'm assuming you're talking about the overall resume of every fighter that competed in his era which includes Holyfield and all his wins from previous eras.

If you had said he has the best resume when looking at only wins from THIS era then yeah sure I completely agree. I know that's what you meant, but I was pointing out something technically wrong in what you wrote.
