    Here come the flomos, defending their main hoe.

    Fuck off with your cartoon basketball nonsense little boy.

    Fact of the matter is, everything I said was true. Point to me where it's opinion. Gayweather took the easy road in his career. I'm no Pacquiao fan, but credit where credit is due, and he took on the tougher challenges and his career is far better than Gayweather's by a country mile.

      Diego Corrales
      Castillo 2 (schooled him)
      Ndou
      Gatti
      Hatton
      Marquez
      Mosley

      Those are my favourite ones to watch. Castillo 2 is underrated because everyone talks about the first fight where he fought injured and struggled, but once healthy he rematched him straight away and almost completely dominated him (I had it 9-3). Gatti was a showcase, and he beat Hatton at his own game and that fight had some unreal counterpunching. Marquez fight was a total shutout vs a guy who really should’ve been p4p #1 at the time (everyone had him winning the 2nd Pacquiao fight) and Mosley, faced the #1 welterweight in the world at the time and beat him at his own game.

        If you want to see a fight where Floyd actually had to tap into his ENTIRE bag of tricks.

        This fight right here is what told me that Manny Pacquiao had NO chance to beat this guy. None. Because Chavez was arguably the most impressive opponent Floyd ever had. Not Chino. Not Castillo.

        This is actually a massively underrated one. Chavez was a monster at that time and really gave Floyd all he had in that fight. 👍 Masterful performance against a top level contender and future champ.

          - -U TUE 51-0 ran like a schoolgrrl and was over the contract weight vs preBALCO Juan who jumped TWO divisions to make the fight.

          Then, he didn't even get paid cause the IRS seized his purse for back taxes!

          U TUE boys as light in the loafers as TUE was/is/and forever shall be!!!

            I know quality of opponent matters and Gatti was hopelessly outclassed but what Mayweather did to him was depressingly terrifying.

              I agree, the fight against Canelo was simply brilliant. Only time I’ve ever seen Canelo look confused. And he’s a great fighter.

                I know right...it's funny how many people rewrite history when it's Floyd. Yet...

                Yeah. That Algieri was a straight up rough fight for Manny.

                As was Clottey, Rios, Bradley, Matthysse, Broner, Vargas...or the skeleton of De La Hoya.

                  Except for Rios, yes those are better challenges than

                  Chavez, N'dou, Corley, Bruseles, Sosa, Mitchell, Baldomir, Famoso Hernandez, Augustus, Berto, McGregor.

                  Fraud paid Maidana to wear pillow gloves and lose the first one. The rematch was worse.

                  Fraud went 10 rounds with Hatton, where Pac KO'd him in two.

                  Fraud went 12 with Cotto, where Pac dominated him and KO'd him.

                  Fraud lost to De la Hoya, where Pac retired him.

                  "but but De la hoya was a skeleton" OK, Canelo was a walking corpse himself when Fraud made him drain all the way down. If the DLH fight doesn't count for Pac, then the Canelo fight doesn't count for Fraud. Don't be a hypocrite.

                    ...
                    You're saying on a boxing forum with a straight face that Chris Algieri was a better challenge than Emmanuel Burton?

                      Burton was a straight bum. At least Algieri won the WBO belt. Something that 50 loss bum never did.

                      16 Ls going into the Fraud fight. Fuck outta here with that BS.

                      Edit.

                      FUNNY how everyone goes on and on about "Mayweather beating champs and getting belts, blah blah blah" BUT when Manny gets the WBO belt from Algieri, all of a sudden alphabet belts don't count and it was a terrible win.
