When done right boxing can be an art, sorry i post about him alot,but he is an artist

[Tony Trick-Pony]

honestly i love Basketball alot more..Basketball is my first love..I became a boxing junkie in the late 90's..been involved in basketball my entire life..I first entered a boxing gym at 12 and followed Tyson but that was it then i started following Roy Jones..After Floyd i started studying the sport as a whole..but Basketball was and is my passion... plus Basketball is alot easier to keep up with then Boxing to tell the truth

So very true, man. Boxing is all over the place while the NBA is so well organized. Been getting into basketball lately myself. This year has been great.

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

True The bs is thick out there. Floyd retired undefeated and its hard to compare fighters of different era's but fighters from other era's must laugh when he calls himself TBE.

I always laugh when I hear it. The past guys went through hell to accomplish what they did. No one has it easy in boxing for sure, but the guys these days don't go through as much. When you're getting paid a million to fight so-so guys, it's hard to compare you with guys who had forty fights before they got a title shot. Weakest era yet.

You may not think he's the greatest of all time (I think he's top 10 EVER) but he's the most skilled. I've seen him do things I've never seen another fighter do before or after. Watch Film studies on Floyd, **** will leave you in awe.

I know. So many great fighters and rivalries. True warriors. Now guys try to follow the Mayweather blueprint and protect the "0". Great fighters lose fights, all it means is the other guy was better that night. Boxing's a brutal sport, but these days if a guy fights 3X a year, he's considered really active.

Aw yeah, man. It's a joke. Harry Greb went 45-0...in one year. Haha. 4-6 fights a year keeps a guy sharp. So what if he loses one? It's not a big deal. Arguello got stopped in his first fight. Sure didn't matter though. It probably taught him a valuable lesson. Any success goes through failures first. It's how you learn. The "0" thing is focused on way too much.

Chavez snr was 88-0

and who had he defeated?

[boxinggod101]

Everytime I watch the Shane fight or highlights from it I think about how happy his haters were during the first 2:15 of round 2 and how sad they were for the last 45 seconds.

I got to admit I was. I was watching the fight at a sports bar with some Floyd fan and was so happy than it went downhill fast lol.

I dont like the guy and dont like his style but I cant deny his greatness

[Citizen Koba]

This is a thing of beauty..say what you want about him but this is beautiful

It is beautiful in it's way, Floyd is undeniably amongst greatest technicians the sport has seen. Sadly I missed out on most of his best years (and my own - I spent most of the 90s and noughties wasted) and never really warmed to the Money persona when I picked the sport up again c. 2011. Never understood the hate he got though, what he did between the ropes was breathtaking.

best defensive fighter and pure boxer of all time.
