Wilder Made this point
Wilder said the time may be here to make something like a "super" heavyweight division due to the growing weight differences in the HW fighters. Something like when it was decided that boxing needed a Cruiserweight division. If it wasn't for that you could have 185 pound heavyweights like, say, Marciano fighting 280 lb. Andy Ruiz Jr. Wilder came in heavy at 230 for Fury and still gave up 43 lbs. That was compounded by the fact that the ref allowed Fury to take full advantage of this fact by leaning on Wilder and basically using WWE tactics throughout the fight, shoving backwards, holding, wrestling and slapping open-handed. Suppose a 273 lb. Wilder-type puncher comes along? He'd be knocking people over the top rope. There would be serious injuries to mere Wilder/Ali sized fighters. Giving away 40-50 lbs. is a serious handicap when both are world-class fighters. With no rules stipulating a max. weight Fury was within his rights to come in at 273 and take full advantage of that but he at least should have been forced to fight clean. He obviously came in with the intention of pushing Wilder around and backwards and leaning on him, and was allowed by the ref, if not the rules to do just that. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt this time. How long will that luck last?Last edited by topo5358; 03-06-2020, 10:50 AM. Reason: To futrher emphasize point I was trying to makeComment

Both of yall are lying. Floyd is without a doubt the GOAT. We will never see a fighter that dominant against that quality of opposition, ever again.
It bothers me that SRL was the greatest ducker and cherrypicker of all time, which is fact. And when Floyd was young, everyone said he was the next SRL. They both looked the same, and had high pitch voiced, and Arum kept attaching their names to eachother.
Then everything SRL did, was projected onto Floyd. Remember when SRL retired to duck Hagler? Floyd retired, and whoever was still active, the media just CLAIMED he retired to duck them.
This is why I always question SRL's legacy. Floyd will fight someone way too big and young for him, and the media would nitpick everything he did, and claim it was a cherrypick. Its not the same as SRL literally ducking top opponents, and specifically facing them when they got old, then going into interviews, bragging about ducking them, and cherrypicking them.
Floyd is a perfect fighter, while SRL is not. I always questioned SRL legacy, because if he had faced everyone head up, I feel he would've lost.
Their is no one Floyd didnt fight, that he wouldnt embarrass, because he embarrasses everyone. Floyd faced better opponents than the ones he didnt face imo.
Always looked at SRL as a fighter with a shakey legacy.Comment

Floyd was a great ponzi scheme fraud pretender hoax. The American establishment needed a fraud to sell, Floyd played the part.Comment

The TBE, Respect.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. have spoken. Great interview, but in the end he always mention things of himself. Overall, the man know the facts better than all of us, including veteran ones.Comment

Floyd's entire career was a fix. Haymon HBO showtime needed a counterfeit fraud pretender to sell to idiots like you. They protected the lil bi7ch for over a decade. The lil bi7ch even calls himself a coward and said his decisions to duck the best were because he valued health over money. Total fraud you got fooled. Only a rigged fraud calls himself a coward and says his career was based on preserving his health even after calling himself money.

I dont care about Floyd's promotional banter, referring to himself as a "rich coward". He is the greatest fighter of all time, and was perfect in the ring. He didnt have to do all the things SRL did, because SRL was a flawed fighter who HAD to duck and dodge to remain unbeaten.
I have always had queston marks surrounding SRL's legacy. He is the weakest ATG of all time, and the most beatable. Ali, SRR, Floyd, RJJ, and Joe Louis, all better than SRL!Comment

This didnt respond to anything I said. Their is no such thing called "Floyd ducked or cherrypicked" Its all a lie and narrative that came from Sugar Ray Leonard ducking and dodging everyone, and all of his actions being projected onto Floyd.

Floyd's career since 140 was a protected fraud sham, rigged by haymon, greenberg, espinoza, sulaiman, nevada commission. Floyd knew he was protected by this system and even ******ly bragged about it, "I own Vegas." Yes his handlers and protectors did own Vegas, Sulaiman and they had the money to buy off every opponent. And when there was an opponent too dangerous they could not buy off they ducked him like the plague.
But of course this is all way too over your head. You have been programmed to believe Floyd is TBE lolComment
