Does Mayweather deserve criticism for how relatively little he fought?

[REDEEMER]

what was his best fight Weight 135ish?? If so no ,he's little fighter .

In other words you dont have any facts to support your opinion.

In other words, I just cut down a bunch of mini trees, have a headache, feel dehydrated, and don't feel like providing a TON of information that everyone on here knows already.

struggled?? charlie was hitting nothing but air and then ran out of the ring..and that fat guy was an actual pro boxer

zelenoff connected with a few shots...about as many as sr actually landed. he looked like an old man, cuz that's what he is.

Ok. Get some rest then come back with your ton of evidence. And get well soon champ.

I think he does deserve crituscm.for how little he fought when he became the man. But then not fighting the best or toughest fights but rather a belt chaser, picking weak opponents, the weaker then all the better

lol I ain't coming back with nothing.

You guys acting like your memory has been wiped or something.

I don't believe for a second that if you were boxing fans back then you don't know exactly what I'm talking about.

It was like a 6 year saga, man. For real? -_-"

I'm not playing along with that silly stuff. If you are Mayweather fans, then stay Mayweather fans. You're entitled to support your favorite fighters. But anyone acting like Mayweather fought the best when he was supposed to is on the same level as the Fury/AJ fans claiming the ESPN deal wasn't a duck from Fury. Or that AJ never ducked Wilder.

There's being a fan, and then there's reality.

It's literal common knowledge that Mayweather is a ducker.

You know what? Forget articles. Here, this is all you get from me:



Common. Knowledge.

Two years later is right after? Lol

I could go back and forth with articles and whatnot, but that whole Pacquiao saga is so long and annoying that it's honestly not worth the "research". It's practically common knowledge that Floyd is a ducker by this point.

It's not when I wanted him to; it's when the majority of fans wanted to see those fights next. Instead, he goes on live TV, says he's scared of Cotto retiring him, and runs off until way after Cotto got plastered by Margarito.

And Pacquiao, well, that storyline just speaks for itself.

I would debate this, but it's common knowledge. I'm confident most people are aware; they literally lived through it, if they were boxing fans.

I can respect it if you view this differently, but there's no way I'll ever see Floyd as having fought the best when he was supposed to. Most fans don't.

there is no common knowledge of floyd being the one that prolonged the fight with pac...none....its not common knowledge to anyone who follows the sport and followed the timeline

he didnt say he was scared of cotto retiring him......he never said that...he said something and you wanted to imply thats what he meant.....

what about when shane was asked about fighting floyd many years ago and shane said he was going on vacation and had a tooth that needed to get fixed? can i imply that shane ducked floyd then? im fairly sure i can produce that video if you wish to see...because i know ive seen it

people take floyd quotes that are general and then apply them to whomever they wanna say hes ducking at the time.....but he never said he was afraid of cotto retiring him...

hahahahaha max kellerman! the guy thats literally on a show where the whole idea is for two people to disagree and take different sides in order to maintain an audience and produce debates and arguments? lol

that whole show is a joke....thats not evidence....dan rafael even blamed bob and he was very friendly with pac....many other boxing writers also blamed arum and i can link you the articles

Both sides were to blame. Arum felt Pac would lose, so he was never in a hurry himself to make that fight. Mayweather also knew how to get past random blood testing, whereas Pacquiao still had doubts. At the end of the day, though, Mayweather believed Pacquiao would beat him, so he, too, wasn't in a hurry to make the fight and used testing as an out.

At max, you could say both sides ducked each other, and it would be relatively true.

As to your other post, when asked about whether he'd fight Cotto, Mayweather said: "I won't let boxing retire me, I will retire from boxing."

It was the Mayweather-Hatton post-fight interview with Merchant. He repeated it twice when Merchant pressed him by saying that the great champions always took on the best. Watch it yourself, if you want to see it.

again...youre taking a general quote and applying it to what you want...it doesnt apply to cotto..its a general statement...ive seen guys take quotes about floyds health and how its important and apply it to the pac argument...guys to it all the time "see what hes really saying here is he doesnt want to fight pac cause he fears for his health"...when its a general statement......ive seen it and i remember it

have you seen the video many years ago of shane being asked about floyd and him talking about a toothache and a vacation without saying he wanted to fight floyd? i guess that means a more prime shane actually ducked floyd?!
