Isnt it funny how the boxing world puts smaller fighters on a pedestal? ie Mayweather

[SugarRayCurtain]

But then he stands next to Anthony Joshua and gets laughed at for being so small and short in comparison.

Yet people put on him on this pedestal as being such a great boxer when someone like AJ could probably beat him with one hand.

This is why i dont take what Floyd says seriously, about him being the best of all time, being above Ali etc
Unless you can actually beat Ali in the ring how can you say youre above him? Lets face it, Ali would knock Floyd out.

Take away this P4P hypothetical BS and stick to boxing and Floyd doesnt have a leg to stand on. Yea hes a great small fighter but against guys over 6 feet and weigh 168lbs hes just not

it's american jockriding.

HBO Show time boxing and all the other boxers' livelihoods relied on Mayweather near the end of his career. they needed him to be the biggest star to bring in the money.



They hyped his defense etc..... which ushered in Andre Ward. People do not like watching defensive boxing with illegal tactics. Andre Ward is a fact of this, which is why nobody cares about him.


but the hype machine was just so strong behind mayweather that they had him as the most skilled boxer of all time and made sheeps want to watch manhugging and running as sweet science. Yet every time after they watched his fights, people felt ripped off.

Hot take. Boxing has weight classes, SugarRayCurtain is the last one to discover this.

Mayweather's skill never made you feel like he was the baddest anything like Tyson was.

even in his own weight class, you saw Maidana, Castillo and Pacquiao as superior fighters. Mayweather just better spoiling tactics. if they fought in the streets, Maywaether would be battered.

I'm over here reading this like huh? Nobody thinks Floyd would beat AJ or Ali, not even Floyd.

What a stupid statement. Why should PFP be not be used? It's a fair way to rate all boxers against each other. Everybody knows AJ would easily beat Floyd. That is not a valid reason to say AJ is a better fighter than Floyd. Weight classes aren't aren't only in boxing. The MMA has weight classes. Weight lifting has weight classes. It's illegal in some counties but dogs and chickens are fought all over the world and they are always fought by weight. Nobody fights a 1 pound chicken against a 5 pound chicken. Nobody expects a 150 pound power lifter to lift as much weight as a 250 pound power lifter. Nobody expects Mayweather to beat AJ. Being excellent in your weight class is what gains a boxer, a weight lifter or an MMA fighter admiration, praise and respect no matter how big or small they may be.

[Floyd is TBE]

Actually I've found it's the opposite. Heavyweights are usually overrated and romanticized as ****. Tyson, Norton, Spinks, Rocky, Liston, etc... And of course you get casuals acting like Ali is the Michael Jordan of boxing

[boliodogs]

If you really think so little of boxers under 200 pounds you could skip fights between midgets like Kovalev vs Ward, GGG vs Canelo and Spence vs Brook and only watch the heavyweights fight. After all they can beat all these smaller men. You won't do that. You will be watching the fights of these smaller boxers you claim to think so little of.

This makes me wonder how stupid your other 1000 post were.
