"Pretty Boy" Floyd "Money" Mayweather is The Best Ever (T.B.E.) #1 P4P King!

Andre "S.O.G." Ward is in the top, probably in the to 20's or higher.....

Haters, bias, casual or even racist can't handle these things.....SMH

You're an absolute moron. How the F is Mayweather better than Sugar Ray Robinson, Harry Greb, Duran etc. As for Ward, he has two good wins over Kessler and Froch and two "wins" over Kovalev, how does that qualify for top 20 ever?

Stop being a Floyd fan and start being a boxing fan.

Im ***ish and have heard many black people say the analogy "working like a Hebrew slave" and was totally fine with it, in fact I thought it was pretty funny. I understood the analogy and didnt think it was in bad tase at all. We all understand that ***s being enslaved for hundreds of years was a bad thing and that is the whole point of the analogy.

I've been black for 31 years and have never heard one black ever use the term "hebrew slave". I call bs. Quit lying. Plantation was a thoughtless word to use, get over it.

Whether people like it or not Floyd will go down as a top 5 fighter all time.

Impossible. Only Floyd fans, who know nothing about boxing think that.

Here's 5 guys who rank WAY above Floyd.

1.Sugar Ray Robinson
2.Sam Langford
3.Harry Greb
4.Roberto Duran
5.Henry Armstrong

Well i've been black 33 years and have definitely heard the "hebrew slave" comment before. Plantation was a garbage word to use though

Adrien Broner turned down a 40 million dollar offer from Roc Nation just to be served up to Mikey Garcia as a stepping stone. Also Haymons fighters are very inactive, if he cared about them he'd try to let them take fights and sign with promoters that will generate them the most money. Instead he has them fight mismatches and they only fight once a year which are both detrimental to their careers. Danny Jacobs and Carl frampton signing to promoters is a good sign so hopefully that continues but as of now Haymon has been detrimental to a lot of fighters careers

Adrien Broner turn down a $40m, 5-year deal from RocNation, and then turned around and got beat by Shawn Porter after the junk performance that was the Molina fight.

Broner bet on himself, and came up bust; that's not on Haymon.

Daniel Jacobs has eminent value to HBO, so the move makes sense, but what is Carl Frampton actually getting from fighting under Frank Warren (Frampton had also been signed to Cyclone Promotions, so that argument is bust too).

Beyond that, I'd look at the actual boxing scene before talking ****, lol. If Haymon is putting his fighters in mismatches, what do you call the matchmaking for all of the other promoters in the sport (Eddie Hearn seems to do a good job in limiting the bull**** fights that he puts on, without being super reckless in risking his guys until necessary)?

Is Bread on the take? Why does he keep saying Wilder is for sure clean? He doesn't look, or perform, like a clean boxer. Bread acts like VADA is fool proof, when experts on the subject like Victor Conte have said even VADA is easy to beat, and more of an IQ test than a drug test. Not that it doesn't limit the extent of doping that boxers can do, but they can still do significant levels of PED use without VADA catching them, provided they do it smart, so why does Breadman keep giving Wilder so much credit for being a proactive clean boxer? If I had to bet 500 bucks on whether Wilder was using PEDS or not, even with the VADA testing, if I had to choose, I would bet that he's not clean, so why is Bread so sure?

Breadman's takes seem objective and balanced most of the time, but certain things stick out like a sore thumb, and the way he keeps repeating the company line about Deontay Wilder, as if Lou Dibella had personally prepared the statement himself for Breadman to repeat, is one of those times.

I was thinking Jacobs-Arias would be competitive, too...

So you really think Al Haymon had nothing to do with Adrian Broner turning down $40 million from Rock Nation?

[BigStomps]

I don't see what the big deal is with the word plantation. I think black people are just being sensitive over nothing. I don't think the guy meant any disrespect towards anyone by it.
