Comments Thread For: Kellerman: Crawford, Spence Would Have Stopped Mayweather

[Sledgeweather17]

he explained why. he said he rank pac slightly above floyd for the fact that pac started his pro boxing career at a lower weight and finished off in the same division as floyd. he is not saying pac is a better boxer than floyd.

Pretty sure Manny has never fought at the full 154 limit, and Floyd has done so three times.

floyd looks done but as per usual kellerman exaggerates the point for effect. theres nothing to suggest they'd have knocked him out, noones ever come close to knocking floyd out and he'd have enough defensive nous to avoid being ko'd. theyd probs have won on points though.

3 of which his opponent barely threw a punch. I don't think it's a coincidence that Floyd bet on himself to win in that exact round. By round 4 he had figured Conor out and could've just gone all out and KO'd him.

Also we've been talking about this for weeks/months and most of you STILL can't spell the man's name correctly. His name is CONOR, you just watched him in perhaps the biggest PPV event ever, learn his damn name if you care enough to talk about him.

For starters, I didn't misspell his name. Perhaps you need to wipe the fog from your glasses. Then again, you should have done that years ago so you could see what a sham Mayweather is, but you choose to wallow in ignorance chicken-shyt.

Hell, I'm sure they could beat a 50 year old, why not even a 65 year old version of Floyd while we are at it. In Floyd's prime, he would have put a loss on both those guys and Garcia's record too.

"I know he wouldn’t have fought them the exact same way but...." ALWAYS a BUT.....

Do you guys honestly think Floyd would of fought like he did against Conor with Errol or anyone in boxing? No.

Haters, bias, racist, Max, jim, Harold, larry, arum, hbo, dan & espn are ALL a JOKE.

"Pretty Boy" Floyd "Money" Mayweather is The Best Ever! T.B.E.!

People are acting like Floyd is supposed to be the same fighter at almost 41 years old, he's not supposed to be. He's been retired for 2 years for a reason, we saw against Berto 2 years ago that he was getting old fast. Why is this a big deal? Floyd is not an active fighter, and he's not going to be active again. Will there be stories in 15 years about how he shouldn't fight some young 25 year old champion because at 55 he would get KOed?

Yeah, some of the young champions out there right now would beat him, so what? They'd beat Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard right now too. I wonder if Julio Caesar Chavez Sr. can go 12 rounds with GGG? How about Evander Holyfield, could he last with Anthinoy Joshua if they fought next week? Is George Foreman still game?

Mayweather is retired. He has been retired for 2 years. That's the only reason why his fight with McGregor was remotely interesting. You think if Floyd was 33 anyone wold have wanted to see him vs McGregor? Age, the size difference, inactivity, 8 oz gloves, these were the things they had to sell to make people believe it was a competitive fight and now they want to ignore them.

It's like Floyd saying he was going to come forward and make it an exciting fight. People said no way would he do that, but if he did it would be fun. Well, that's exactly what he did and now people are complaining.

Floyd is a top 3 all time fighter, but he's retired, his time has passed. Honor him, don't say BS like this.

[BoxingTrav]

Agreed. Add Thurman to that mix. Floyd is way past his best. He had a very successful career as a defensively great cautious boxer who picked and chose who he fought and when he fought them past their prime. Brilliant businessman

Who was passed their prime?

[Xi_]

Espn is a joke but max is right.....floyd would lose to those fighters.....Pacquiao would get destroyed worse.

[Damn Wicked]

may would of fought differently. he knew he'd stop connor likely from inside sources saying connor aint a great boxer.

against them 2, im sure he would of trained harder, fought differently. but he is 40, maybe he loses but he wouldn't get stopped.

Mayweather wouldn't have even fought any of the young top welterweights. If he wanted to prove that he could beat them he would have done it. Yes, he "would" have fought defensively "if" he chose to fight them, but instead he chose to fight a guy that he knew would be an easy night's work.

[BoxingTrav]

he explained why. he said he rank pac slightly above floyd for the fact that pac started his pro boxing career at a lower weight and finished off in the same division as floyd. he is not saying pac is a better boxer than floyd.

In no way can you rank Pac higher than Floyd.

Record - Floyd is undefeated, untied, never been on the canvas, never been dominated, beat every man he ever faced.

Head to Head Floyd won

Against Common opponents - Floyd is undefeated, Manny has a draw and a KO Loss
Floyd

I won't even getting in to accuracy and defensive stats.

The mere fact that he used a GGG vs comparison is why I said he makes no sense.
