What's with the notion that we should root for Floyd just because he's a boxer?

[Sweet Pea 50]

Well thanks for the clarification

I like this post better than the edited one.

If you think Khan could go through Floyd's run beginning with JMM after the Hatton fight, I don't know what to say.

He takes a few L's, and some by KO.

Level's.

Mayweather is a cut above Khan,

Right but atleast it's considered a joke because everyone thinks Floyd demolishes him.

If he loses? It's the most humilating thing that could ever happen to our sport.

Do you like boxing? What fan of this sport would want one of, if not the best fighters of their era to lose to an MMA fighter with 0 pro OR amateur experience?!

Green K! Any "boxing fan" who thinks a Conor victory would somehow be good for boxing needs their damn head examined.

Put him with gregor in a octagon he will choke joshua to death.

Any boxer when you put it in octagon will not survived a round. Same thing would happen to a mma fighter when put infront of a boxer.

LOL! Mcgregor is a striker and loves to box in most of his fights. He likes a stand up fight and there he has the advantage, his defeats have been all on the floor.
So how do you think will it play out against joshua??
First they square off, box position, josh could literally punch him anywhere and he'd get hurt, with broken ribs or worse.
He might even be too scared to approach josh because of the size alone. What he gonna do take down josh? A 250 pounder?

They all start in a boxing/striking position, and there boxers have a great advantage, proper footwork could avoid a take down.
Once it gets to the floor and turns to the grappling game then the boxer loses.
We all saw that when holmes fought rousey. Rousey couldnt take her down because of proper footwork, and was eating jabs to the head.

Im giving good brawler boxers a good chance in mma than mma fighters to boxing.

Mayweather is a cut above Khan,

Again, prove to me he "couldn't"

If you don't "think" he could, great. But don't announce it as fact because of Breides Prescott... Well, because that's idiot logic and shows YDKSAB

That's like saying GGG will KO Jacobs with a jab because Sergio Mora, doe

Khan or Marquez could've gone through that list of fighters undefeated.. Especially when you start talking about catchweights.

[Chollo Vista]

oh no no no. they gotta fight who floyd fought, when he fought them, at the weight they fought them at.

you're out of your ****ing mind if you think marquez or khan goes undefeated through that stretch of fighters.

And who does Marquez lose too? Are you saying the 144 lb Marquez vs 152 lb Canelo?

I also think its a ****** scenario especially when your asking what welterweight can beat Canelo, who wasn't a WW, yet you take out the possibility of Canelo fighting at Welterweight.

Doesn't make sense

[original zero]

Not sure how Canelo looks at, let's say 147, against Khan

floyd fought him at 152, not 147. you really believe khan would have beat canelo had they fought at 152 instead of 155?

you're the only person on the planet that thinks khan goes undefeated those 8 years facing the guys floyd beat.

khan lost FOUR TIMES during that stretch, including losses at 135 and 140, yet somehow you believe he would have gone undefeated against all the top names at 147 and 154? you're insane.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Again, prove to me he "couldn't".

One's Mayweather.

The other is Khan.

Next.

If you don't "think" he could, great.

I know it is.

But don't announce it as fact because of Breides Prescott... Well, because that's idiot logic and shows YDKSAB

I do know what a triangle theory is though, right?

That's like saying GGG will KO Jacobs with a jab because Sergio Mora, doe

No. It really doesn't.

Khan or Marquez could've gone through that list of fighters undefeated.. Especially when you start talking about catchweights.

Well let's hope the next gen gaming consoles pump out a great Fight Night.

Because we will never actually know, now will we.

yet floyd managed to do it. so if floyd was the only welterweight in the world that makes it through that stretch undefeated, how can we then simultaneously try to act like everyone he faced was over the hill, shot, etc? that is what wouldn't make sense.

if being unified champion in multiple weight classes at the same time was so easy, everybody would do it.

he beat de la hoya and cotto at the full 154 pound limit, while they were 154 pound champions, with floyd not cutting weight at all and still weighing in several pounds under the limit.

he individually unified three 147 pound titles one by one, beating ortiz, maidana and pacquiao when they were all reigning champions.

who are these other welterweights that would have won all of these fights without taking a loss? they don't exist.

I swear half on NSB must be posting idiotic posts while taking a break from coloring in their coloring books.

Who said anything about 152? I actually said 147 since we're talking about catchweights. If Floyd can get a catchweight of 144 and 152, why can't Khan get 147 since he's technically coming up from 140?

And again, prove to me Khan and Marquez couldn't? You can't so stop posing silly ass hypothetical scenarios as fact.

You say Khan lost 4 times but how many times did all those fighters you name in that list lose each?
