Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: I'm TBE - Not Ali, Marciano or Menayothin!

If you have to tell people you are TBE, then you aren’t TBE.

Ali. Marciano, SRR took on all comers. They didnt wait til fighters became damaged goods to fight them and they paved the way for the future. Floyd was a cherry picker and only 5 fights out of his 50 were entertaining. **** Floyd disrespectful ass!

Love him or hate him, he's the greatest boxer that ever laced 'em up. I can't think of another fighter who was as hard to beat (or even hit cleanly) as he was. Hell, even past his prime he was one of the absolute hardest fighters to beat

You cannot hit a running chicken. Run all night long.. simple hugs is a quick remedy whenever he gets cornered. I didn't know that evading scores points. Really gifted.

Look, Floyd's a top 3 ATG at 130 and probably a top 10-15 ATG at welterweight, but if we're talking about ATG period, he's a long way away from that.

He brought up Ali.

He doesn't have 1 victory better than Ali's 2 wins over Liston, 2 wins over Frazier, or 1 win over Foreman.

He brought up Leonard.

He' doesn't have 1 win better than Sugar Ray's wins over Hearns, Duran, Hagler, or Benitez

He brought up Robinson, Duran, and guys like that, but has nowhere near the great victories those guys had.

He never fought outside of America or even Las Vegas in the past 10 years of his career.

He was an ATG talent, who fought his career on cruise control and took the money over the legacy. He's got to live with that.

I am not even sure Mayweather is in top 10 at 147 all times.

He's not.

I'd put

Robinson
Leonard
Griffith
Trinidad
De La Hoya
Duran
Hearns
Benitez
Ross
Gavilan
Napoles
Walker
and a few others above

Yet, Castillo had no problem putting hands on him.

Using Pep's resume as an example, his last string of 50+ fights are shady AF.

Test me

You’re seriously going to argue with me about Willie Pep? Voted by the International Boxing Research Organization as the #1 Featherweight of all time? Or by the AP as the #1 Featherweight of the 20th Century?

Please continue

I hope this was sarcasm lol

For starters, his last 100 fights -

FORTY SEVEN had 20W's or less (many of them 10 W's or less)
TWENTY FOUR had 20 L's or more
TWENTY SIX had losing records

.....Keep telling yourself that Floyd more times you repeat it the more true in you're mind it will be and sound

[pasawayako]

I agree he beat more champions and earned more money. He would've beat flat footed Margarito easy. He TBE

He would but wouldn't want to try. Margarito is the 2.0 version of maidana.

The Difference between pac and floyd.

Pac proclaimed by some boxing legends and other boxing aficionados as the GREATEST while floyd proclaimed himself as the GREATEST.
