Name 1 Prime A-level fighter that Mayweather has on his resume......

[IronDanHamza]

pacquiao did not beat morales in his prime. this myth has to be stopped. you guys probably weren't watching boxing when morales was prime if you really believe that manny beat him when he was at his best.


what gives strength to the morales win for manny was that he got a hell of a lot better in the series, and after it. he was a much more complete fighter at welterweight, even if he was very small for the weight.

You could argue none of the three were in their prime.

I wouldn't agree with that but you could argue it.

But you can't argue Morales was in his prime, like you said, definitely past it.

how good the fight was also shadows the arguably disqualify-able spitting of the mouthpiece. no shame in losing that fight. a better refereeing job and you'd probably see that fight end in a DQ. depends on whether or not you want to see action, or the rules being followed to a T. i preferred the outcome obviously because of how epic the last round was, but definitely wasn't fair,a nd you can aruge that it allowed the lesser fighter to win.

That's a good point.

OK divisions aside.....was he A-level?

there is noo divisions aside.


divisons aside, should lomachenko fight joshua?
divisions aside.


not only did mayweather fight a guy who was a LW at the time, and went back to LW after, he was a small LW reporting himself that he was in the low 130's the week of a 135 lb fight. and floyd missed weight.


so no, unless you genuinely don't understand the sport that is not an A level win, or frankly all that close to a historic B level win. it was a mismatch precisely because of the size, so don't ask me to ignore it.

Corrales was never supposed to kill Mayweather lol Hem ight have been somewhat of a favourite but no huge margins.

I see the problem here--Many of you just started watching fights. Corrales was Knocking everyone out earlier than Mayweather. When the fight was announced, all the experts were saying Corrales is going to walk Floyd down and knock him out.

Mayweather was huge favourites over everyone else. Laugh at "hatton was supposed to kill Mayweather"

Hatton was supposed to be this aggressive and rugged fighter that will give Floyd hell and break Floyd's rib cage.

Dont you even feel ashamed lying for someone you dont know on an internet forum that doesn't matter

No, i don't, because unlike you, i was around to witness the hype of the fights and what the pundits were saying. They even felt like Arturo Gatti was too much for Floyd. Max Kellerman was one of the few calling it a mismatched prior to it taking place.

can't see how one could argue that pacquiao's win over marquez in '08 was a win over a prime all time great. barrera had the head injury and surgery, resurgence, etc, so there's an argument to be made there.


i also feel pacquiao should be credited for a W over marquez in the first fight. not because of how i scored it, but because of the scoring error of one of the judges who neglected to credit pacquiao for one of the knockdowns. never heard of that happening in a fight before or since, certainly not a high profile one.

"udge Guy Jutras scored the fight 115-110 for Marquez, while judge John Stewart scored it 115-110 for Pacquiao.
The third judge, Burt Clements, had a 113-113 tie. His scoring included a 10-7 opening round because, he admitted later, he did not realize he could give a 10-6 round. If Clements had scored the opening round 10-6, as the other two judges had, Pacquiao would have won by 113-112 on Clements's card and earned a split decision.
"I just screwed up," Clements said. "I feel badly because I dropped the ball, plainly and simply. You can make a lot of arguments that it was a very close fight, but that's immaterial. The fact is, I dropped the ball."
Marc Ratner, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, ruled that Clements's admission was no grounds for a protest."

What is this bs? Yes Corrales was an above average fighter but at no point did anyone think he wold be THAT much better than May, which is why you have now stopped using the word "kill".

Oh and who thought Hatton was going to beat Mayweather?

You really are pathetic, with your ******ed profile picture.

[Thraxox]

I was expecting this thread would turn out to be toxic name calling thread but it turned out to be a very good discussion.

[BlakBread904]

Your point would hold more weight if you didn't post ****** explanations of each fighter on his resume.

He does not have one. End of story. No need to post like an imbecile

this right here!!!
