Does Mayweather deserve criticism for how relatively little he fought?

    He fought at least 90 more times as an amateur.

      Do I deserve credit for that? Is it the same as a prime Leonard? Dude's 62.
      Floyd Sr would KO you and most, my problem is YOU PEOPLE claiming boxers are COWARDS.

        Anyhow, again, that doesn't explain retiring to avoid fighting a prime Cotto for fear of being retired by him, or all the other ducking Mayweather continued to do, including Pacquiao and Mosley, afterwards.

        Dude is one of the best fighters ever. But we gotta face facts. He is also a coward. He can't be TBE when he was hiding from Cotto, Pacquiao, Margarito, and Mosley, and everybody else.

        I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree
        i guess so....but you dont really have any evidence that he ducked these guys other than that he didnt fight them during the time you wanted him to

        ive offered you evidence that he agreed to fight margarito...ive offered you evidence he wanted to fight oscar and bob said no so floyd got away from arum and got it on his own

        theres tons of evidence that floyd tried to fight pac back in 2010 and that arum squashed the fight for years.....i can provide you with that too.....but you will probably take some floyd quote and use it out of context to suggest he ducked pac....i have evidence and others in the boxing community agreeing with that suggest arum squashed that fight for years

        even old shane destroyed margarito and floyd fought him right after that...weve got evidence of shane, from years before, being asked by merchant about floyd and he said he had a toothache and a vacation to take

          lol Floyd Sr got knocked out by a random dude like a couple weeks ago, didn't he?

          I doubt it. I used to spar a bit as a teen, and I'm confident that, in shape, I could hold my own versus anybody, if not straight out KO them. I'd be afraid of sparring Sr for fear of hurting him. Leonard might actually still be good for a spar, though.

          That's beyond the point, anyhow. Deflecting this to a personal attack when you don't even know me in person just makes no sense. Point is that I can't get credit for knocking out Sr or Leonard or anybody that is way past their prime.

          The same principle applies to Floyd.

            If Mayweather had already accumulated 54 fights by 28, highly unlikely he'd have retired undefeated 12 years later.
            Alvarez turned pro at 15..you should really do your research before posting stuff like this

              sO YOU used to be a part time coward.....you said Floyd was a coward even though the facts prove your not honest, So if someone doesnt fight when YOU want them, fk the business huh

                While 50 wins is impressive, Wanheng Menayothin has 52 and has a better resume than Floyd as he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from ****kok Thonburi University.

                So Wangheng has 52 wins and an undergraduate degree.


                And he is only 33.

                Floyd should be vilified for his laziness both academically and in the ring. LOL.

                  Floyd sr was struggling with Charlie z and got dropped by some fat guy. Yea he was a pro boxer, but the guy is a senior citizen ffs.

                    When someone's ducking a fight that the fans want, yeah, that's cowardly.
