And yeah, I wasn't big on his style in his later years and so on, but the guy has been tremendously successful and he worked the game in his favor. Do I think he's the best of all time? No, but I do like his style. He appreciates success and encourages it. I like Floyd and I think he really gets the business side of boxing. And his style, like it or not, worked. He did often land the cleaner more telling blows and it paid off for him. So praise to Floyd Mayweather!


    Exactly

      If you praise Mayweather for being an ignorant sellout then you are beyond help. Racists hate to see black people show any sort of pride or integrity so to see a man like Mayweather must be refreshing lol. This topic is a joke, crazy how much fear and prejudice people have.

          I’m appalled by some of his actions outside the ring and lack of remorse for it but no one can deny this guy played the perfect game in and out the ring. The way he marketed and promoted himself was genius, his book “Money” edited by Tris Dixon is an interesting read on how he was able to generate so much interest. I never actually had a problem with his style either tbh, it was very safety first but he showed such an incredible display of boxing ability in negating his opponents, I always quite enjoyed Floyd fights- even though I was usually rooting for the other guy😂😂
          Hahaha. I usually did, too, but yeah, you're right. He had the game down in and out. That sounds like a good read. I'll check it out. Thanks for telling me about it!

            except against pac he was smoke and mirrors and thats all. he picked the judges for every single fight(cept hoya) and he fought accordingly because he knew how corrupt boxing was and he knew all he had to do was basically stay on his feet and make it appear close. you could say hes smart for taking advantage of a corrupt system but thats like saying trump is smart. its more like we are dumb for letting it happen and not holding anyone accountable because we thought someone else would do it...nope.

                Exactly. It's his money and he can spend it however he wants. And yeah. 9 million for 180 seconds. It's hard to top that.

                  I like Floyd. Floyd the Pretty Boy, Floyd the Promoter, but not Floyd the Money.

                    I'm one of them who claims Floyd's got a legitimate claim to GOAT.
