PBF is the best fighter I have seen since RJJ. His defensive ability could be top 10 ATG.

He also managed his career very, very well. He played almost the perfect game when it came to making his fortune. #1 ATG money maker.

But the **** that comes out of his mouth is just awful. There is just nothing there worth listening to or with any kind of merit.

mayweather can lay claim to being one of the best lightweights of all time and one of the best defensive fighters of all time. nothing more.

Floyd doesn't have to say they are greater leave that up to historians to say.

Why didn't yoiyoiu win belts in 8 divisions? Why didn't you beat GGG?
You know that would help your case so its clear you never did what you had to do and what people asked of you.
So why should people put you on pedestal you want to be on.? Why diudnt you fight abroad? See you never did what people wanted to, just excuses

The whole rope a dope thing gets blown out of proportion.

First, Ali layed against the ropes for what amounts to 10 minutes in all for the whole fight

Secondly, Ali didn't just lay there and get a beating as Mayweather claims, he blocked head and body punches. Out of all the punches Foreman threw....10 landed successfully...otherwise he would have severed Ali's head off his shoulders

He says he beat world champions. What about Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Young, Foster and Patterson?

This is like Eddie Murphy saying he's funnier than Pryor.

Best defensive fighter of all time and top 3 best 130 pounder of all time, best record in championship fights in modern boxing, been on the p4p list longer than any fighter in modern boxing, fought and beat bigger younger champions and P4P fighters well into his late 30s and of course the biggest attraction.

The man has a case for his claims but it's not up to him to decide, everyone has their own perception of greatness.

i don't care how good junior sez his defence is if he fight Triple GGG at 154 he get's KO'ed put into to a coma

I think Mayweather is one of the greatest ever boxers, pound for pound, but not The best ever. Hearns and Leonard would have been too much for Floyd, and a prime Duran, even at welterweight, would have been a handful, and at lightweight, well, Duran n Mayweather would have put on a classic. Floyd vs a prime De La Hoya and Pernell Whitaker or Terry Norris, more great fights.

[HURTFEELINGS]

Exactly.

It's not hard to beat so many world champions in this era of boxing considering there's 17 odd weight classes and about 5 belts in each class. Look at the amount of bums/trash that have become world champions such as Judah, Baldomir, Berto, Ortiz etc. Nowadays it's a surprise if you haven't won a belt considering they're on sale everywhere

My honest QUESTION: If its so easy, and you apparently know boxing, Why dont you have one?

[BattlingNelson]

Lmao. What a dope.
