Floyd Mayweather never had a Marquee opponent!

[hugh grant]

, why does Floyd need to fight overseas?? he is apart OF ALL THE !!

Probably because it's traditionally seen as hard to do and you get credit for it and the greatest in history did it. That's probably why they're considered best in history.

People wanted to see how floyd would do, rather than be mysterious leaving us scratching head wondering.
We want to know how floyd fights when hometown fans screaming homeboy who punches aren't even landing on you and how floyd reacts. Does floyd press for ko. It's about showing more strings to your bow.

Listen Larry your unconditional love for floyd is commendable but you want him to be great doing as little as possible

I really do not get the loser mentality of, if you didnt have to fight a guy 5 times then you were not great

If you didnt have to struggle with many people you arent great

wtf is that???

You just said what it was...the loser mentality.

Didn't Floyd fight Tavoris LaVern Marquee at Jr. LW?

No. GO learn boxing. Until then stay away from debates.

Floyd was making 100 million at home, why travel..obviously the fans were paying to see him regardless..you make 0 sense

This makes no sense to me at all especially listing the likes of Bradley Pac as some sort of significant thing, the only way you get tied to somebody is to have a equal great in a timeless classic match , it hardly applies to this generation because the nature of the sport today and the only two real standouts were Floyd and Manny.

Cant make anything out of what youre trying to paint..

For Bradley, Pacquiao was he a significant opponent of his career.

Floyd doesn’t have that. Get it now joker ?

Not doing rematches was a bad move he's badly advized. Every great fighter fought rematch or triologies.
When you think of willie pep you got Sandy sadler. When you think srl you think duran or hearns.

You need to give biggest rivals rematches. Even if your fans don't want it, it's not just your fans you need to think of. You want to silence your opponents fans or your critics.

Thank you Hugh you get it.

Mostly agree but gotta point out Ward-Froch only fought once. If that made your list then there's no reason Manny shouldn't have made the list without you speaking it away like you did.
Although Ward-Kovalev would've been a better option.

Nice catch.

I agreee. However I would point out. I think For froch Ward was his most significant fight of his career even though he lost and a rematch never happened.

But let’s add Ward - Kov

Floyd is the man. TBE.

Never hating on Floyd.

Floyd had the 3 highest selling fights in the history of the sport so yes I agree he had no marquee opponents at all.

I think you missed the point but thank you for reading.
