    Come on though bro. You can say Jordan is the best and you never every great player play.

    I know you have a bigger love and more passion for boxing, just give me vicinity where you think he belongs.

    When did you start watching boxing?

        hes great but he doesnt do it right, uses illegal tactics as part of his arsenal.

        So basically he cheats his way through a fight.

        someone like Mikey Garcia performance are more of an art than mayweather since Mikey performs within the realm of the rules and mayweather doesnt.

          Right on dude. Yea if you are a brotha that barely started watching boxing since '98 on, then now i can understand your obsession with Floyd. It's just to bad you didnt start watching it early otherwise you'd understand why older heads dont hold Floyd as high as folks like you.

          How old are you?

            KO's are a function of 2 things-punching power and the inability to take a punch. If you fight low level opponents consistently then a KO streak is easy to keep going.

            Notice the KO streak stopped when he fought a top MW (who happened to outweigh him).

            Ggg, loma and others are great boxers. I just think it's fair that they earn their accolades the same way Floyd did.

              Well it's funny you should say that, floyds KO run was between 97-98, he didn't have a world title, he won a world title in his 18th fight so if he was so good as you all spruik about he really should have had a run of a lot more than 7 ko in a row, you all knock ggg but most of his have been in world title fights, so can you explain how you glorify Floyd but knock ggg

                Like we've never seen?? Roberto Duran was 72-1 after the first Ray Leonard fight. SMH

                  Haha. "We've" seen plenty of better fighters. Guys who have watched for the past five years clearly have not. Sad era.

                      Okay well I do love Duran. But he didn't have those kinds of defensive skills.
