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

[Alabama Man]

Some agree here, others dont but atleast we can all come together and agree that we're damn lucky we still get to watch Wanheng Menayothin fight! #TBE #54-0

[BoloShot]

No one he mentioned there is TBE.

Mayweather beaten exactly 0 world champion by Marciano's era's sensibilities. No one gave a **** about single belt holders until Ali, that's why no one here recognizes Lee Savold or George Godfrey as champions. Marciano did kick Lee's ass and Lee did have a major world title, his problem was he was Lee ****ing Savold and in the 50s semantics don't make you a champion. Same is true for ****ell.

Money's cool, but, non-undisputed should not talk **** about the championships of undisputed champions. In their era you ain't even a champion with your un-unified ass.

He has the best argument. It’s all opinion at the end of the day.

Edited to reflect what I would have said

[Combat Talk Radio]

Manny ducked Floyd lol, so easy to prove lol.

Isn’t the truth somewhere along the lines of that Manny ducked Floyd first, than Manny wanted the fight a year or so later but than Floyd ducked Manny for 5 years?

I already shared the truth.

When you have to go around making your own case, you're nothing.

So, Crawford is nothing?

Floyd 1st needs to beat Logan Paul but if Logan wins then he's the GOAT.

So, Crawford is nothing?

When did Crawford claim he was TBE?

Good thoughtful points all.

It is debatable, but Floyd has a fair argument. I would say he could say he's the greatest defensive counterpunching boxer in history. I wouldn't rate him equal to or above a prime 'Sugar' Ray Robinson, Ali and 'Sugar' Ray Leonard.

He would've had trouble with Thomas Hearns, and a few others. A more prime De La Hoya and Whitaker would be very tough to beat as well. But yes, he's the biggest earning, richest pro boxer in history, and he didn't take that much punishment, so he can look back on a great career.
