    I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere. Either you don’t understand me or I’m not getting you.
    PAC knows he’s not the best now, he isn’t claiming he’s the best right now.
    Floyd when he retired thought he was the best still so prove it. Going out on your shield means you are handing over to the next generation. If floyd didn’t fight the toughest it means he was handing over his title of best fighter without putting up fight.
    You are supposed to fight toughest to realise you no longer got it. Fighters are always last to know. It’s alright if Floyd knew he could no longer perform at highest level but admit it then

        Floyd is already appreciated and highly regarded by most boxing critics and fans.

        Fighters will always have their rabid critics, some criticism is justifiable, some isn't. No reason to whine and cry just because people constantly sht on your favorite fighter or they don't love him as much you do.

        No fighter has ever had a perfect career, but anyone who knows anything about boxing knows Floyd is a top all-time great, no matter what anyone says. Floyd gave a lot to the sport.

          The highlight reel shows another picture.

          The majority of Floyd's connect were just light "tapping" from jabs.


          The great shots of that fight came from Manny.

              It Don't matter honestly, he took our money but more importantly, his impact on the generation after him is undeniable. You will struggle to find a young Millennial Fighter that doesn't praise Mayweather and doesn't list him as one of their favorite fighters of All Times. That is more valuable than emotional fans opinion!

                    I already killed spoon in that thread. It was so bad that he kept on posting the same punch over and over again

                      I would have done just like he did with Maidana. With Maidana, Kenny Bayless actually said that he had previous fights on the back of his mind. With that in mind, he was ready to pull the trigger and deduct points from Maidana.


                      Floyd elbowed Maidana several times even after warnings. Then Maidana gets a point deduction.



                      Floyd should have been warned the dressing room that this was supposed to be "Fight of the Century" not "Dance of the Century".


                      Any funny stuff, he gets a heavy warning that he will deduct points.


                      That would have changed Floyd's attitude that he can do whatever he wants and we would have got to see a good fight. Win or lose.
