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

[HAMMER77777]

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.

There are weight classes for a reason. That is part of Boxing. Dont like it? Watch a different sport. And I like defense.

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

Exactly this.^ We have weight classes, from minimumweight (105 #), to HW. I appreciate every single weight class as its own entity. All I ask, is that a Fighter dominates his DIVISION. I dont expect someone running for governor of my state to also Win governorships in the 49 other states.

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.

Exactly this.

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

Seriously what the hell was his rant about?? I believe some of these guys just started watching the sport.

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.

Nope. They would never be able to touch Floyd. Regardless, this is not a street fighting forum, this is a Boxing forum. If a baseball pitcher could stand 2 feet from the batter, they would have a no-hitter every game, but those aren't the rules of the game.
You play within the rules, of your given sport.

You just clowned that roach.

Thank u. This whole thread makes no sense, LOL. We have weight classes for a reason, and I enjoy the different attributes of each class. I like the 2nd round KO's of the HW's, & I like the speed and agility of 105 #'ers, and everything in between. I just like Boxing in general.

Much like a 1-0 pitcher's dual in baseball can be just as exiting as a 12-11 sluggfest full of home runs.
