    I think this is ****** and makes no sense.

    You can say what you want about Roman's career or resume but how the hell was the way he fought embarrassing?

    He came to fight, he came to win, and he got knocked out in an exchange.

    What is embarrassing about that?

      Clearly as you are implying this, do you genuinely believe that Mayweather didn't fight anyone was dangerous as Rungvisai?

        This is the same crowd that asks "what went wrong" and considers a fighter a failure if he has any losses on his record. The crowd that gives Maidana a moral victory over Floyd because the gloves were changed. These ***ers don't know boxing.

        I saw a once-great fighter who no longer had the reflexes, movement, or confidence to perform at the level he used to. He might be "embarrassed", but simply losing is not by definition an embarrassing performance. He went out there to win, it didn't work out. Welcome to the world of sports.

          Who were his most dangerous opponents (in their prime)?

            Rungvisai was his mando iirc.

            The Estrada fight should have happened at 112 though. But its worth noting that Estrada was injured for long periods as well. It also coincided with HBO circus rolling into town and they wanted to build his brand a bit on the network (Sosa, Viloria) before he met guys who would be legit 50/50's.

            The fight should have happened though big shame it didnt.

            Looking forward to seeing Estrada's prime. He is a hell of a fighter.
            Estrada is awesome.

            So is Roman.

            Shame the rematch never happened.

            Estrada-Rungvisai next?

              So as you didn't answer the question I assume you do genuinely believe that.

              So I'll mark that down as you being ******ed and not a troll.

              Who did Mayweather fight who was as dangerous as him? Oh golly, I just don't know! You got me there!!

                Yet you cannot provide any names and I am the ******? You just don't want the names you list to be dissected and exposed.

                  Exactly. Most of the greatest fighters of all time lost fights, no shame in that.

                  Plus, Rungvisai is good. Prime or not there'a no shame in losing to him.

                  Gonzalez isn't in his prime but I thought he still looked like he has some more in the tank, I would like to see him fight on.

                    I can easily list names.

                    Even though yes I do expect you to "dissect them" aka discredit them as an idiot like you would.

                    The simple fact that you are trying to claim that Mayweather didn't fight anyone as dangerous as Rungvasai speaks for itself. Trolling or ******ed? I assume the latter.

                    Is Rungvasai even as dangerous as Marcos Maidana?

                      Maidana? That was a cherry-pick that backfired on Floyd. He asked his own fans to vote on his next opponent (only gave them Maidana and Khan to choose from) and the majority voted Khan. Yet, Floyd still picked Maidana because he was flat-footed, slower and already lost to Khan. Three fights before Mayweather he fought a guy who was 13-3-1, then fought Josesito Lopez, and then Broner. Prior to those world-beaters he fought Soto-Karass and lost to Alexander. Next?
