    Mate don't you even try to tell people the facts, it's not that they can't see, they simply ignore.

      Because Manny, ODH and SHane all waited to fight him, those that do not like Floyd have decided this is him minimizing risk.

      Wait a few years and post that GGG minimized risk for waiting to fight Canelo and see if the guys saying the above agree.

        You can list a thousand names. Facts are facts: he fought them at their worst and he won against most of them in the most unspectacular fashion. No go wipe your tears.

          I was critical until he fought Canelo. Erasing 20/20 hindsight and the fact that he was still favored to win, it was a ballsy move. Canelo was big, dangerous, and people were at least expecting Floyd to get roughed up a lot, even if he won. The fact that he took it was gutsy, the fact that he turned it into a showcase was stunning. And, I'm not a Mayweather apologist by any stretch.

            because to their dismay...he beat them all....before that he was scared, a coward....he wins...they were too old, small, tall, short, drained, you name it.


            Proof is in the pudding. His resume says otherwise...they know it, he just beat somebody that they had an invested interest in. They lost and now its all sour g****s.

              They were all champions when he fought them and at the top of their divisions and 7 were ranked top 10 p4p by the Ring

                All you gotta do is ask them to post someone with a better fight streak. They can't.

                  That was the first fight in a long time where I was worried that Mayweather would get hurt.....Canelo is a big boy...the last time was versus Oscar at 154


                  I never expected him to damn near white wash him.....easily the best performance of his comeback since 09....he was so sharp.

                  I personally feel being more active helped him.

                  He looked like he slowed down versus Mosley and Ortiz as far as his legs and hand speed, then starts and finishes 2013 fighting like he was a young fighter

                  I was definitely impressed
