'Yeap maywheater lost to jl castillo and to maidana on the first fights thats why he had to fight them both again'

He got points verdicts so he didn't HAVE to fight them again. Joe Calzaghe was beaten up by Robin Reid, got the verdict & resolutely refused to fight him again. There are hundreds of other examples.

Carl Froch didn't duck anyone but he didn't exactly hunt down Andre Dirrell for a rematch.

By contrast, after close decisions Floyd did go straight back in with Castillo, who could really fight, & Maidana, who isn't that skilled but was a hard night for anyone, & convincingly beat them both.

there is a lot of people have an opinion that don't deserve an opinion. Mostly on serious subjects like climate change or ***, but even on the less serious matter of boxing.

'A plodding-come-forward Duran beat SRL in his prime'.

The Schmuck who wrote that has an opinion on boxing but he shouldn't be encouraged to air it. How ****** have you got to be to post that.

I’ll be honest when I read that description of Duran and the summarisation of the rematch I didn’t bother to read anything else he posted. Absolutely clueless.

It is when your career spans 25 years across multiple weight divisions and fighting 8-12 times per year. See unlike the divas today fighting once or twice a year in 10-12 round matches with 3 knockdown rules, refs stopping fights, etc warriors like Pep and SRR fought 15 rounds just about once per month, opponents and themselves knocked down dozens of times within fights.

I’m guessing you know little of boxing history beyond present time to say such garbage as what you’ve posted.

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

Test me

A bit misleading your stats. When Floyd was a somebody in boxing he wasn't fighting twice a year lol.
The first 30 fights was against nobodies when Floyd himself was unknown.
When Floyd became man to beat 1 fight every 18 months more like it

Averages are not misleading. I did round up, though.

They weren't making anywhere near the money that the fighters of today are making which is why many of them fought sometimes twice a week just to eat and make the ends meet.

Hence, the quality was surely lacking.

Will fight for supper MFers

A dime a dozen

You’re not TBE if you’re the only one saying it no matter how many knock off hats and t shirts you have printed up at a mall kiosk.

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

Floyd is an all time great but he’s so insecure. It’s possible he could have legitimately had a case for being the best ever if he didn’t strategically fight his opponents at the times he wanted to. He chose money over legacy so he has to live with the vast majority of critics not having him as the best ever.

Exactly!!! He has no one to blame but himself because he's had chance after chance to prove it.. But didn't. Not until x fighter took a few loses.. Or got old from wars.. No nuts no glory!!!

[Bandman]

well hes not lying

[LetOutTheCage]

Insecure little man, who will never compare to the GOAT (Ali). Deep down he knows it
