What a backwards way of viewing things.

Accomplishments don't matter, how many fools you get to believe you could do it does.

That was a dumb @ss comment. I think Spence Jr. Is one of the best but I can't put him up there just yet because he hasn't really fought anyone yet??? You can only rank ppl off who they fought you can't rank boxers off potential like everyone did with Broner. Sht I remember getting almost in a bar fight because some fool said Provo. Would Knock Mayweather the FK out!!! Remember when ppl said Floyd was ducking him???

Not from you coward.

I guess not. If this was real life, you would be polite and respectful towards me.

You gotta be kiddin me right? He is creating racism when he is pointing it out?

And there was never racism there to begin with? WTF - there are a few racists of all colors just on these boards - unfortunately.

Its a huge problem and it aint going away anytime soon when you got Trump stirring it up.

Calm down Steve, take a breath. This isn't a political discussion.

The racial bs on here is beyond ridiculous. You don't like Ward? You're a racist, don't like golovkin? Well that must be because of race. Floyd? Yep, you're racist if you don't like him. Certainly Manny too right?

This is a f'ing forum people! Get over yourselves and just realize some people just DO NOT like a fighter because of the style, or because they feel they're not that great. I think golovkin is a total hype job for instance, but I'm just as friggen white, if not more so than he is. I like lomachenko, who is an eastern European fighter too, because he's better than golovkin...PERIOD you absolutely can not dispute that, even with a foul felted loss to salido who he would stop in a second fight. Either way, 7 fights and 2 weight classes, thus imo NOT a hype job. I liked Floyd in the ring, I don't outside of it. I cannot stand Danny Garcia, but Cotto has long been a favorite fighter of mine.

The simple fact in this is that it's really annoying when posters a get butthurt and act like pu$$ies because someone tells them what they think and they don't like it, so they cry racism. Stop acting like B itches here people.

I can't speak for Larry Merchant but I find Fischer's commentary and assessment to be even handed. He gives credit where due and his analysis is penetrative and creditable. He dislikes Floyd not so much for his out of the ring behavior but because he feels he is too much of a businessman and that has had a negative effect on boxing in general and the WW division in particular.
He is on record as saying he was a huge fan of the pretty boy mayweather and that he also hopes that Pacquiao stays retired.

Exactly. And he GUSHES all the time over Pretty Boy Floyd and doesnt like Money Mayweather. Who doesn't???

[Metho_4u]

all the experience and credentials in the world doesn't ensure professional integrity...he has very little

Its not the journalist or analyst job to judge a fighter's out of ring character, or criticize them, even mid fight in Larry Merchant's case....both of those guys are puppets who are used by their employees to push an agenda.

Yep imo Montoya is another one of those writers...his stories are far too wordy anyway. He used Floyd for years to try to gain popularity.

Let's just all agree that GGG will never move up. If he hasn't already he won't now. I don't ever think GGG will move up or fight a SMW without a CW.

Never met a Golovkin coward in real life.

[CaneloMaidana]

He hates all black fighters.

[Metho_4u]

What matters is who he would beat, not who he has beat. Resumes don't win fights, fighters do.

Well, why don't we take a poll? Certainly that would establish quickly who the best WW is. I like Brook, he's a very good fighter, but to say hes the best WW, is...well just a ****** assumption.

Had it been GGG that accomplished the things mayweather did, then he would be constantly singing his praises and making him out to be the best thing since sliced bread

A credible Commentator and assessor wouldn't make it obvious his style preference and other preferences.

He clearly craps on mayweather, his style and who he fought when clearly mayweather had the best resume of the era.

makes no sense giving manny all the credit in the world, yet crap on a guy who had a better career, better skills, and was the bigger star.

he is supposed to be a business man....pro boxing+ money=prizefighting

they fight for money and when he was pretty boy Floyd, being mr. nice guy and all smiles, People like Mickey ward, Arturo Gatti, guys who couldn't carry his jock strap were on ppv shows so were other inferior fighters in the late 90s, early 2000s

As far as his affect on the welterweight division, look at it in context....in all of his fights at the weight, these fighters were all top 3 welterweights....Baldomir, Judah, Pacquaio, Ortiz, Mosley....they are all former ww champions...the other former www champions he faced there were Hatton, Berto, and Maidana


if anything he has the best welterweight resume of the last 25 years and welterweight wasn't even his best weight to campaign.

if you're going to be critical, be consistently critical...Manny at 147 spent most of the time lining up opponents coming off of loses, bad showings, tko losses and catchweights.
