Comments Thread For: GGG: Biggest Opponent is My Age & Determination To Keep Boxing

[etech1]

I wish SRL could work the system to where he was 37yrs old and embarrassing men who were 23yrs old and 15lbs bigger. I wish it was that simple homie. The fact of the matter is, this is the greatest fighter in the history of the sport. Look at what this man did to JMM. Canelo went up in weight to face big and bad GGG, and GGG didnt do anything similar to what Floyd did to JMM. This will never ever be duplicated again in the history of the sport!

20yrs, 50 fights, zero losses. On paper, this man is factually invincible. But thats just on paper. We could say the same for Calzage. But when we look at the eye test, look at how Joe won and how Floyd won. Floyd LOOKED unbeatable. He was laughing at opponents, making them look clumsy, and foolish. He barely broke a sweat.

See Im not a Floyd fan. Im a boxing fan. I love boxing. I love Joe, SRL, SRR, Ali, Joe Louis. I understand how hard they worked and how talented they were. And no matter what, they couldnt do what Floyd did.

Because I respect their work ethic and talent, I MUST give credit to Floyd for being lightyears better than them. Its the only fair thing to do!

Yes, major respect to floyd. You raise some good points. I'm slammed atm, so I'll rebut some of your points later. Peace bro.

Like the old Bill Parcels quote; once you start thinking and talking about retirement, it’s probably time to retire.

Yeah, he drug jmm up two weight divisions almost two years after his fake retirement.

Canelo straight up handed over the most coveted belt in the sport, waiting for ggg to slow down.

I give credit to Floyd for being unbelievably talented..... maybe the best ever, but he ducked and dodged the real proving fights with smart matching making, long layoffs, and fake retirements.


Floyd is definitely the smartest boxing business man ever. NO question. I admire the life he has now too. Props.

I was there though man, and he did an incredible job of hanging on to that fake 0. Think about it, if srr, srl, or rjj had of played it the same way that Floyd did, they're be undefeated too.

Exactly, 2 YEARS on a layoff. He was bigger than JMM, but he was the one at the disadvantage because of his layoff. Not only that, I asked you; How come when Canelo went up in weight to face GGG, Golovkin didnt throw all those pull counters, and humiliate Canelo without getting touched? How come GGG didnt embarrass Canelo like Floyd did JMM? How come when Duran went up in weight to face SRL, Leonard didnt humiliate him like Floyd? Its because aint none of these dudes Floyd Mayweather.

See JMM coming up in weight wasnt the issue. FLOYD was the issue. Thats why JMM looked the same way Floyd's other opponents looked. JMM Looked the same way Mosley did. Oh but Mosley was shot with back to back KO losses so it compensates for how JMM looked?

Both of them looked the same way Ghost and Canelo looked. Oh but Ghost isnt that good, and Canelo was "green"? See you dont get it; All of these guys are just "opponents". Floyd is not just an opponent. He's the greatest we will ever witness. No matter how big, small, old, young, they all gonna look the same.

See when we talk about Floyd "ducking", we talking about dangerous fighters who were bigger with power like Cotto and Margarita. But they are just as dangerous as the guys Floyd faced. The opponents Floyd "ducked" pose the same threat as the opponents he faced.

Dont worry about who he didnt face, because you cant face every single fighter in history. Focus on the people he DID face. Incredibly dangerous opponents who he was too old and small for, and made them look FOOLISH.

SRL could never "cherrypick" fighters as good as the ones Floyd did, and do what Floyd did to them.

But thats okay because his asss aint Floyd. It wouldnt be fair to SRL to hold him to the same standard we hold Floyd to, because Floyd is 20 times the fighter he could ever be.

Its crazy that it all happened in THIS ERA. I wouldnt trade in watching Floyd, for ANY era EVER.

Lol@ comparing Duran to jmm and taking a swipe at Leonard. If you wanna bag lick Floyd, that’s fine, but he simply never faced the type of competition Leonard did.

[champion4ever]

Well it certainly looked like it; Judging by his last performance. He either didn't train properly for the fight or he simply has aged. However, part of me does believe that he did he take Sergei Derevyanchenko lightly though.

That's what happens once a fighter begins training himself. He no longer wants to go that extra mile or go above and beyond the call of duty in order to remain great; Especially as a champion or a former champion becomes older.

They have a tendency of losing that same passion, fire and desire that got them there by subsequently becoming too complacent. It also became Sergei Kovalev's downfall.

His reluctance in listening to his American coaches led to his ultimate demise; He is no longer the feared and great fighter that he once was since the Andre Ward bouts. Which is why Canelo is challenging him now because he is sees some decline and slippage in his skills.

Im not comparing Duran to JMM. Everytime Floyd fight someone, he HUMILIATES them in such dominant fashion, that people cant believe it. So they make up these silly little excuses. HE said that JMM coming up in weight is the reason Floyd humiliated him. But how come when OTHER fighters face men coming up in weight, they not doing all that slick asss shyt in the ring that Floyd does?

You try to be slick and compare SRL to Floyd? SRL is a natural ww in his prime facing other elite ww's in their prime. Floyd is a blown up 35yr old light weight, past his prime, HUMILIATING men too ***ing big and young for him. How could you even put SRL in the same sentence? Thats like SRL going up to 175 at the age of 25, and making an entire career out of facing men in that weight class into his late 30's.

Not only would SRL NOT dominate like Floyd did, but he would also get his asss killed once he got to the age of 32.

Floyd is 10 times the fighter that SRL is, but you wont hold them to the same standard. You want to be slick and act like they mirror eachother. Floyd has more heart than him by default because he is more skilled and talented. SRL wouldnt be no damn 37yrs old facing someone 23yrs old who outweights him by 15lbs, because he would lose his life in the ring. He wouldnt have the same courage Floyd has, but thats because Floyd is better.

By DEFAULT Floyd faced opponents of circumstances that SRL just couldnt face.

Im holding everyone to the same standard!

What opponents of circumstance? Just Hearns alone would beat all of Floyd's opponents. Most of them would be knocked out at WW. Even Floyd Sn. wouldn't say that Floyd could beat Duran. Benitez was a defensive wizard. I doubt very much Floyd could beat any of those three men. As for Leonard he would beat Floyd no question IMO.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

this dude has so many excuses lmfao.

Everyone doesn’t have the same longevity, but everyone is in their prime for some amount of time. The type of opposition Leonard faced in his prime, eclipses Floyd’s. If you wanna say Floyd had the overall better career, that’s fine...not gonna argue with that.
