Comments Thread For: Mayweather Firm That He is Done With 'Brutal' Sport of Boxing

[The Big Dunn]

After 6 years of ducking, when Pacquiao was past his prime and lost two including a heavy KO.

Floyd only got away with that ducking because of the fanbase he worked so hard to cultivate.

Joey Maxim beat SRR but ranked higher?

Floyd could have made $250 million by fighting Pacquiao in a rematch, but instead decided to take $32 million by fighting Berto.

Floyd himself will be most proud about how he ran his career rather than the boxing.

$250 miil. Why would anyone pay to see Floyd beat him so easily again.

You can’t open Pandora’s box twice. Floyd made all you simpletons believe manny had a chance. You fell for it, made Floyd wealthy, and when your guy lost you were reduced to begging for another chance because somehow you idiots think Manny can win.

Floyd has always been better. He is ahead of him in every credible list of ATG boxers.

Deep down you realize Haney could do same to Loma, which is why you are ok with Loma avoiding him, same as you were Manny with Floyd.

This is the greatest fighter we will ever see. I'd like to see one fighter in history cherrypick opponents of similar circumstances, and walk them down without being touched.

Floyd was 37yrs old and 150lbs. Canelo was 23yrs old and 165lbs. Floyd walked that man down and laughed in his face. Imagine SRL at similar circumstances, he would lose his life. Even in his prime, an opponent of similar size advantage would be basically a 50/50 fight for him. Floyd old as dirt, it was a mismatch.

You need to be appreciative of what you witnessed, opposed to acting like it was ordinary or not special. This man's legacy is so abnormal and unreal, that it completely shyts on anything we have ever seen in history or WILL EVER see.

And I like seeing Pac batter guys like Cotto, but everyone else he was facing at the higher weight class were irrellevent at the time he faced them. Floyd was literally whitewashing guys who fought their way into the top 3 of the division at the time he faced them.

Pac would just get a random 135lber who hadnt proved himself, pull em up in weight and fight them.

Or Margarita and Mosley who werent doing anything special at the time he faced them.

Wake up and show respect for the sport you love.

Canelo had to make 152lbs, which is pretty difficult for a guy who walks around near 200lbs
This isn't the Canelo that KOed Kovalev, this is the Canelo that won a close hard fought fight with Matthew Hatton.

Floyd's career will always be tainted by his ducking and his demands to get the advantages even before they step into the ring, like paying off Maidana to make him wear pillow.

And I am not dismissing his career, I just saying his true genius was his marketing his brand and growing his fanbase.

IMO a duck is even worse than a loss.

1) Irrelevant, Pacquiao wasn't.

2) Why did he need to fight Berto.
Floyd did very little in that fight, hardly landed any clean hard punches

3) Never said Pacquiao was shot, but he was clearly past his prime, and he was on the decline ever since the Margarito fight.

1-He had a date in Sept so he fought Berto to end his contract

2-Was Floyd also not on the decline at 38 almost 39??

3- manny is still a world champ so you cant really use any excuse man..Floyd beat him while he was champ and p4p #2...4 years later Manny is still p4p top 10

People don't watch Floyd for his boxing style.
He has stunk out many arena.

Fanboys paid money to watch him fight Connor McGregor


Pacquiao was way past his prime.

Floyd waited till Pacquiao slowed down enough, got the ref that would allow him to hold, had the judges to score touch jabs and even waited on Pacquiao shoulder injury to be an issue, stopped the shot and got an illegal IV as well.


If you like duckers and businessmen, good for you.
I don't.

You sound delusional and ignorant. Telling me what Canelo had to do to make weight, as if he were at some sort of disadvantage. FLOYD was the one who should've gotten KO'd in 3 rounds. Idgaf WHAT Canelo had to do to make weight.

No where in REAL LIFE, should a 37yr old 150lb man, WALK DOWN a 23yr old 165lb man, and NOT GET TOUCHED??? He didnt do it with power.

Throughout the history of the sport, we have seen smaller men with speed and power battering and brutalizing bigger men. This here, is DIFFERENT. This was pure technique, and ability. He made it look like these guys didnt even need to be in pro sports.

For so long, Floyd has been OVERACHIEVING, that you took it for granted, nitpicked the opponents like they werent that great, and never realized that what we were witnessing was illogical, and impossible to execute.

And you talking about Chino's gloves. Fool are you hearing yourself?

Let a 38yr old SRL face aa 30yr old who is 17lbs bigger than him, with cotton gloves, and he would lose his life.

With Floyd, its just another victory. Nothing abnormal for him. But VERY abnormal in comparison to anything we have ever seen!

1) A date he could have fought Pacquiao again and earned 10 times the money.

2) Floyd is much more technical, and relies less on his physical attributes. Kinda like Hopkins vs RJJ.
Hopkins beat RJJ when they were old men, but we all know what happened when RJJ faced him in his prime.

Manny is champ, and is a top fighter, but you know as well as I do he ain't in his prime, and has been in the decline since 2011

[Monzon99]

Floyd was a protected fraud. Watch all his fights again after 147, all soft and controlled. No one was allowed to hurt him or beat him.

[BigStomps]

what rounds did you give Castillo?

I can't recall man. I didn't watch the fight live cause i was locked up so i watched it years later after i got out.
I've only watched it twice and the first time i watched it is when i scored it 7-5 Castillo or 8-4 Castillo. I can't recall exactly what rounds i gave each. But no way did Floyd win the first fight between them.
Floyd won that second fight convincingly but that still doesn't take away that he really lost the first fight but was given a gift decision.
It's boxing, it happens.

When I’m having trouble sleeping I put on Mayweather Jr. fight. I’m out in no time.
