Who has a better resume, Sugar Ray Leonard or Floyd Mayweather?

[soul_survivor]

Lol. He has to hope Canelo becomes an all-time great, it magnifies his win

It still wouldn't really do all THAT much.

djtmal,



Marvin made a huge error by not fighting as a southpaw. I can still hear Gill Clancy questioning it. Like you've noted, he gave away the early rounds.



Great points.

Yes, Boxing has been watered down in these last 15-20 years.

It's a real shame.

I'm glad that Marvin Hagler, retired on top, and didn't digress to getting beat up by guys who wouldn't have a chance in his prime, but what cats don't realize, maybe they don't go that far back, is boxing, used to be bigger than football and basketball in the days of Ali and Sugar Ray. Big fights made the front page in newspapers and the major networks, and the sports pages, dedicated pages to boxing. None of that exists anymore, and boxing has digressed to nothing more than a niche sport.

These days, cats is more interested in, whether their favorite fighter is the "a" side and how much money they make, than who they are beating and how it ties to the lineage of the division they are fighting in.

If you want to play the "BUT FLOYD WAS OLD AND TINY" card, then you have to talk about Roberto Duran...

Duran was old and tiny when he beat Leonard. Duran was old and tiny when he almost beat Hagler... etc...

Oh... and he didn't wait for the other guys to get old either...

Exactly. This takes away from SRL. Facing an older, smaller Duran. And man we have to treat these fighters the same. I can give Duran tons of credit for going up and facing bigger men. The problem is no one ever gave Floyd credit for it!

But we have to remember, Duran, went up in weight and lost allot. While Floyd, despite being too old and small, HUMILIATED men. He shouldnt even be able to win, but his skills was so much on another level, that he made it look like childsplay.

Their is no fighter in history that could be at Floyd's circumstantial disadvantages, and dominate the way he did!

At our period there wasn't many legendary welters, Trinidad and Floyd will live up but their opponents not.
Can't be compared with a period which had Hearns and Sugar Leonard. I reckon their opponents were no bums, they were mostly technicians with reach and defense, although I can't name them, I just watched they getting beat. Today mostly Mexican styles.

[MurkaMan]

Don't ever quote me again you ****ing ******.

Your posts make me CRINGE.

Yea because your lying azz cant respond to them.

Your LIES, make me cringe. Floyd did all these great things, that your supposed to be WORSHIPED for. He so much better than every other fighter in history, for WHAT?

For it to go unnoticed. You blow my mind dude!

I agree entirely with everything you've written.

You're a great poster.

Fight with floyds disadvantages, you need medical help moron, floyd had all the advantages, putting that aside, when did floyd fight 22 times in one year, oh, he didn't, so how can floyd be compared to a legendary fighter that did, he cannot, those fighter were fighting 15 rounds most of the time, did floyd do that NOOOO grow a brain jnr

You lying fool, Floyd has never had any advantages. When your 37 and 150lbs, fighting a man that is 22yrs old and 165lbs, their is nothing you could say about HIM being at an advantage.

Floyd could face God himself, and you would MAKE up a lie about how somehow God isnt good enough,

Tell the truth, dont lie at Floyd's expense. Everytime he fought someone, you all made up lies about how the opponent wasnt good enough, when in reality, if him and Pac werent facing eachother, he always fought the best outside of Pac!

Thats just who Floyd is, and facing all of these big young guys, should be PRAISED. Not hated. This man did everything right, and honored the sport, yet you clowns never gave credit. The greatest fighter in history fought in YOUR ERA, be proud that you were apart of it!

I agree entirely with everything you've written.

You're a great poster.

much respect and likewise

[djtmal]

Floyd will come out of retirement, when they hype up the next flat footed, come forward, mexican fighter. Lol

You didn't even know how a fighter's reach was measured.

You didn't even know how a fighter's arm length was measured.

When I posted links of the fighters quoting their stats, you said they were wrong, and they must have gotten the figures from another source. Haha!

You're a ****ing JOKE!

The information is there for us all to access.

You can google all of their stats from credible sources.


Now **** off you sad ****.
