Why do people think anyone can beat Floyd?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

That would be only because of size and physical strength....

Still would’ve beaten him, as long as they both make 147, there’s no excuses.
I’ll admit Floyd was a better fighter than Hearns P4P but styles make fights.

I would beat a prime Floyd Mayweather Jr using nothing but my left hand and throwing 6 punches a round.

Castillo beat Floyd in the first fight.

Who cares? Move on.

floyd was the best at what he did, WWE presentation...Boxing is a whole different story. Good fighter but only fought fighters he had a definite advantage over...Legacy was never part of the plan it was always about the road of least resistance.

I don't think any welterweight fighting now could beat the prime Mayweather. I do think Thurman, Spence and Crawford beat today's Mayweather. He is 41 years old. Did you think he would remain the best forever?

Because he never had a single professional boxing bout outside of USA and that therefore, he is untested in a foreign territory. As in, how do we know if he would've remained undefeated had he boxed against elite opponents in different countries outside of USA? We don't. Ergo, that is a question marks in his career which one could use to point out that had he boxed more frequently in foreign territories, he would've lost some of his bouts that he won. Let's not pretend that boxing in Vegas doesn't put Floyd Mayweather Jr in a huge advantageous position over most of his opponents. Especially his foreign opposition. Those advantages would be lost had he competed more frequently in foreign territories himself as many of his opponents did.

People love to romanticize the past. I've got news for you though, fighters from the 70s and 80s would fare about as well vs today's fighters as NBA players from the 70s and 80s would fare in today's NBA, or NFL players from back then in today's Uber athletic NFL.

Boxing evolves just like any other sport. Today's fighters have a ton of advantages of yesterday's. Not sure why fans think that boxing is the one sport where the athletes don't get better and better over time.
