GGG? You can't even stop Berto? You can't even stop a one armed man? Lol

Here listen to your uncle

Uncle Roger says:

Roger Mayweather says Floyd has got to beat Manny Again earn respect from boxing fans
http://**********boxing.com/

If you can't link, just go to, on the ropes boxing.com, interview is all there.

Roger Mayweather: Floyd's legacy is going to be good but he needs to close that legacy with Pacquiao. He needs to go back and him and Pacquiao need to do it again. Thats what I think. To close the door in terms of victory, thats what he needs to do.

Jenna J: If Floyd does that, where does that put him amongst the greats?

Roger Mayweather: That would put him amongst the greatest fighters, but Floyd had a good, long legacy anyways. He will be amongst some of the greatest fighters but hes got to close the thing with Pacquiao before he ever does that, because thats one of the known guys that people respect and I think thats the guy that he's gonna have to beat or have to show something with.

Even Roger Mayweather knows Floyd didn't conclude anything that night.

The truth cuts like butter.

I believe that statement to be true. Mayweather wasn't ever likely to get respect until he lost & came back & won/redeemed himself or something like that. A L woulda humanized Floyd to fans I feel. No one can really relate to the undefeated guy with a quarter billion dollar payday + Floyd's angle was to showoff & in general people don't like a showoff on top of all the rest of the things previously mentioned.

The reality for Floyd was as long as he retired undefeated his biggest influx of respect was always going to come 5yrs, 10yrs or 10yrs+ after he hung up the gloves.

yep you are right. people with less information and less context will probably think more highly of him and forget all the ducking and stalling he did. then again in 10 years most people won't know about floyd's "reputation" and "ring presence" and will prob think pac beat him when going back to rewatch that fight since he landed the much cleaner punches. they won't know that what floyd was doing was "great boxing" they will just score it based on the rules

There's no point in Floyd banking on an unbeaten record to help his legacy grow in 10 years time. Nobody thinks he's unbeaten anyway.

If he beats or does we!l against GGG he can boadst it don't matter I lost to Castillo ibeat GGG so it was an off night against Castillo and maidana obviously

One moment on the ropes and jrs eyes will roll back in the top of his head while he is put on a stretcher

You said the same thing when Pacquiao was gonna fight May.... And what happened?

[FLYBOY]

Only one way to prove this...

LOL awwww Daggum say it ain't so. I didn't know you were in with the crazies who "analyzed" the Manny vs Floyd fight in slo-mo while on adderall & viagra & after eating some sushi flown in from the Midwest & somehow coming up with a Manny W instead of the other 99.9% of boxing fans, regardless of affiliation, who thought Floyd won.

May Jr is Lacking !!

He KNOWS he ducked every prime elite for the past 12 years !!

This is eating his heart out , poor little man . Every where he goes people question his integrity !!

Jr is desperate to change the past( all of which he said) but we just can't ! You can't he can't and I can't !!!

Y'all need to rub his bald head and encourage him !!! Money Can't buy ME Love !!!!

Jr picked on old washed champs while ducking and cherry picking and it's eating him UP !!!

GGG will and would KO yo Azzzzz all day and all nite Long but hey you could always say you fought a prime elite !!!

by the look of your signature and posts and actually looks like its eating your heart out. its pretty clear mayweather is at peace with the haters always finding ways to not give him credit

[LOCOMEX89]

At the end of the day Floyd Mayweather is the greatest of his generation and it ain't even close. He dominated everyone and he did it his way.

As a fighter he should get the upmost respect and as a person people will take shots at him no matter what. All athletes go through it but you can't question his greatness as a fighter.

If he is truly retired he needs to all into his promotional company and try to see if he can find the new face of Mayweather Promotions.

[bojangles1987]

I can't imagine Mayweather beating Golovkin. Having success, of course, but Golovkin is too big a challenge of size, skill, and power for past prime Mayweather. It would completely shock me if Mayweather found a way to pull that off.

Well, unless Golovkin went down to 154 and was drained.

[AllEyesOpen]

Mayweather boasting he can make "easy work" of an opponent? I don't believe it, he's usually so humble.
