    Floyd goes undefeated vs DURAN HAGLER SRL AND HEARNS just the same.


    This is all I need to read to see that you don't know ish about boxing.

    Floyd, great fighter for sure especially in the lighter weights as Pretty Boy but when the boxing books are being written, those 4 fighters will be mentioned in a higher historical perspective than Money Mayweather because of the timing of their fights. No fault of his that Floyd fought in a not golden era of welterweights, but the bad part is that he could have fought the Pacquaios, Mosley, Cottos, Margaritos etc when those fight actually meant something. Welterweight division was on fire in 2008 but Floyd decide to conveniently retire from boxing. That's all that needs to be said. Still is a great fighter but far from TBE. Undefeated record doesn't make you the best ever. Your opposition and the timing of those fights count for more, that is why Ali is regarded as the GOAT even with his losses, and why those welterweight are highly regarded than him except amongst you new school/internet age boxing kids.

    While am on this, Floyd might be able to frustrate Duran to a decision (not absolutely sure), Hagler perhaps but he loses a clear decision to SRL, and he absolutely gets wrecked by Tommy Hearns, bad style match up.

        I like the ibhof and all, but i don't think people understand that it hasn't been around that long and was basically created by a few people collecting memorabilia of a couple local canastota fighters...that and there's another internationally recognized boxing hof. Only in the sport of boxing...

          He was never "KTFO" he was stopped on his feet against Purrity, he could have kept on fighting against Sanders, and he was drugged against Brewster. Ali was beat by Berbick, Spinks, and Holmes past his prime so what

            Don't know how you can say he made the era look weak when he retires every time his weight class heats up.

              Floyd 20 year dominance of 5 division made the haters say this era was weak. Lol. No. Floyd is just that much better than Oscar Manny Mosely Marquez Canelo which is HOF opposition.



              Facts.




              People hate that he is 49-0.



              TBE.


              STOP SAYING "WEAK ERA". DONT FOLLOW THE HATERS. ADMIT TO URSELF FLOYD IS THE GREATEST BOXER EVER.

              I love finding the crap you post just to shred it to pieces.

              He isn't that good, he isn't the greatest, only a phaggot casual would say such a thing. He's great, not the best ever by a long shot.

              His best competition didn't look like "sparring partners", do you even watching boxing? The answer is no.

              No one lied about injuries except Pacquiao who was a liar and cheater before the fight so don't act like the loss to Floyd "made" him that way.

              Floyd didn't dominate for 20 years, he was barely active that long you ******. He didn't start truly dominating until after ODLH.

              Nothing you drop here is "fact" other than his record.

              Wrong.

              The ww division wasn't the weakest during his reign but it wasn't the strongest either.

              If you didn't look ****** enough by now, you reach now lows by acting as if results against past fighters are "fact" when they are improvable (word? If not, I just made it bish).

              Great style is an opinion, and all his style is is a variation of the philly shell, but why bother tying to educate a scrub on boxing when all he says day in and day out is "TBEEEE durdurdur"

                What a joke. Haha. He didn't make it look weak. It always was. A flyweight rose up to beat welterweights. Don't you think there's a reason for that? And Floyd ducked the prime Pac all day.

                  Pacquiao dominating the Bantamweight-Welterweight division all the way till 2012 is better, espcially when he fought A-level fighters in their primes.

                      Yes, he came from a far lower place and accomplished much more in the ring.
