Yeah none of this is true. Historians are black n white they don't nitpick like the struggle media and "journalists" do these days because as time passes on none of that shyt will matter. Floyd's legacy will he looked at in a better light years from now because nobody will care about the shyt dudes are crying over. He beat everyone from this era who mattered and made a gang of money doing it. You only hear about SRR being the GOAT and his skillset/resume etc from them you never hear about the gang of times he held up fights due to fukkery because he wasn't feeling a ring size or whatever. You only hear about SRL being the best of his era & 4 kings shyt, they don't talk about Hagler being on the decline when SRL finally fought him or Duran being flabby before the 2nd or SRL fighting guys after seeing some shyt he could take advantage of because in the grand scheme of things it's doesn't matter.

This shyt is nothing but sour grapes from a fighter who not only lost to Floyd but also lost damn near every big fight he has had. Floyd runs blah blah blah yet everyone keeps paying to see it and he kept winning while running. Unlike Oscar who took Ls the times he ran.
:russell:

yep, so if they can overlook little shyt that srl did why can't they do it for floyd.

cause they hate dude for whatever reason .

Look how long the Hagler fight took to happen n he still picked his gloves and shyt. Dudes are talking about the Floyd/Manny fight happening a few years later like it didn't happen the first time because of drug testing.

I get at the struggle team when they start talking that tbe nonsense but that man deserves his props these same dudes go :noah: over nikkas with 1/60th of the achievements Floyd has.

And this has never been my argument. I'm not one of those "He shoulda fought such and such five years ago" nikkas. He beat who he was supposed to beat and they were all great fighters for the most part.

What I'm having a problem with is nikkas tryna rewrite history. The best thing he did for himself was declaring himself a free agent, but in the midst of that it was who he fought after announcing it that made him who he is. Truth of the matter is no one knows who started what. But what is known is there's been a love-hate relationship between these two. They made each other a lot of money but can't stand the site of one another.

This is a fukking 97 G Stan typing this shyt brehs. What the fukk ? Do you neggas have any shame ? :dahell:

You talking about neggas fighting great competition? Negga Floyd at 21 had a better fukking resume than 97G at Larry Holmes Gardens prep center age.


Dawg you the last one to come here and talk shot about Floyd not taking risks.
Breh, your hating has been going crazy lately. I have been trying to give you leads into conversations here because you clearly know something about boxing and have connections into boxing that most here don't have. You could be posting really insightful stuff that benefits us all.

But that was just :snoop: breh. Not once did I mention GGG and not once have I ever proclaimed GGG an all time great, but you have to find a way to work that shyt in. Yeah I am a GGG fan and he is my current favorite fighter to watch...so what? Everybody else here seems to have fun hating on GGG and we do our thing talking trash back and forth over our stan sets, but GGG seems to really bother you.

To clarify, let me break it down: I'm not comparing GGG because I don't think Floyd and him are in the same league. GGG is the best fighter currently at 160, but the competition is historically not very good and we are a long ways from even determining GGG's legacy. Even with that, GGG will never accomplish what Floyd has. I may not be a Mayweather stan and disagree with how he handles himself outside the ring, but I always give dude his respect in the ring. He is the best fighter of the last 15 years and will go down as an ATG. I have never contradicted that. When we talk about ATG, I mean other ATG fighters (Ali, SRR, SRL, Hagler, etc.), that is whose legacy Floyd's is compared against. He is past comparing this current generation. Floyd is the best of this current generation. Floyd is now at the point of deservedly having comparisons to all time great fighters.

My entire point is that it is entirely possible that Floyd's legacy may find faults in opponents, not how he fought, since he was virtually flawless in the ring. @krackdagawd point is entirely valid and very possible that time makes Mayweather look better and questions about who he fought and when he fought them starts to fade and historically we revere in Floyd's accomplishments. I can buy that. He had a great point regarding SRL. All I am doing is pointing out that if we are to point out one flaw in Floyd's career (an ATG one at that) then that is where I assume most people would look. It seems to be where the criticism comes from now...20 years from now, I don't know how it will be viewed (the same, differently).

Come on breh, I know you have intelligent, insightful commentary inside of you. We don't need to drag it down to the usual levels that occur in a Floyd thread.

But they were past their prime. Hell, even when we fought in 2007—and I barely lost a split decision—I was at the tail end of my career. Then later you took on Mexican megastar Saúl “Canelo” -Álvarez, but he was too young and had to drop too much weight.

LOL @ fighting a boxer "TOO YOUNG" discrediting a win, just after saying that mayweather fought guys who were TOO OLD like 3 sentences earlier :heh:

The 5 Boroughs
ODH lost to Floyd
Cotto lost to Floyd
Canelo lost to Floyd


November 21 the 3 principal names involved all lost to Floyd. Cotto and Canelo lost to Floyd by listening to Oscar talking about having the blueprint to beat Floyd.

Take advise about beating a guy from the guy who lost to him:snoop:
