the majority of fights Joe louis & Sugar Ray Robinson had were against white dudes..

[Luke Cage]

Floyd actually has a pretty good resume when you think about it.
What great fight of this generation has he not fought and beaten now?
I mean he could go after Amir Kahn but nobody would blame him if he didn't want to go that high in weight class.

7 is still good considering how many were available.
Mayweather vs. Corrales

Both Undefeated, Corrales was ranked Number 1 super featherweight in the world
Money destroys him and ends career (RIP)


Mayweather vs. Gatti

gatti was ranked number 1 contender by the ring magazine at the time
Money Destroys him and ends career (RIP)

Mayweather vs Hatton (Prolly not HOF worthy tbh)

Hatton was Undefeated and knocking nikkas out in every fight
Money destroys him and ends career (RIP waistline)

Mayweather vs Mosley and De La Hoya

Both dudes were past their primes but I still enjoy the fights and you kinda have to do at least one of these to pass the torch.
Money wins although takes a surprising beating in both fights. but gets rich in the process

Mayweather vs Cotto

This was a fight I had looked forward to for a while. was pretty good. but meh
Money wins one sided decision.

Mayweather Vs Canelo
Up and Comer supposed to be the future.
Yoda: Much to learn he still has Mayweather wins


Mayweather vs Pacman

Most Disappointing of all the rest but that's on Pacquiao not being prepared.
Money wins one sided decision.


I also liked the Zab Judah Fight
Money Wins plus lots of fukkery

Never Saw the Castillo Fights but I need to check them out at some point.

Oh, no doubt


I was just tossing that number out there, because that clown runs around disparaging SRR by saying dumb things like:

Also their records are padded with bums

...which is how he earned that pink banner

Padded with bums?

Sugar Ray Robinson engaged in 108 fights against guys who were ranked in THE RING's Top 10 of their division at one point or another in his era ....including 18 fights against HOF opposition


Not to mention, he was a 2x THE RING Fighter of the Year, and he won 6 Championships, over 3 divisions (Lightweight/Welterweight/Middleweight), in an era where only 3 belts where available over 135-160 to win.....unlike the 20 belts that are available today over the same span of weight 135-160 (Lighweight/Junior Welterweight/Welterweight/Junior Middleweight/Middleweight)
He had a record of 131-3-2 with 83 KOs from 1941 until he retired in 1952 at 31 years old.

He didnt return until 1955 when he was 34 years old, almost 3 years of ring rust, broke, and just fighting for money....and ending up going 42-16-4 over the next 10 years and retiring at 44.


However, you have people like Pink Banner who dont know anything about the sport of Boxing talking reckless about fighters from the past, because they refuse to do their research


SRR is THEE GOAT

LOL at floyd brittle hands surviving back in the day. Nikka woulda fought like 20 times, then had to retire due to hand issues

no disrespect to gatti or hatton but they were SUPER overrated and borderline bums. Floyd doesnt have that good of a resume in hindsight

Every time Floyd beats someone they become a bum, seems to be a reoccurring theme. shyt Hatton was the undefeated unstoppable bulldozer that was supposed to rush through and crush Floyd

Folks even had Gatti and Baldomir giving him that work before the fight played out, saying Floyd was too small and etc.

Its ok to not like a fighter as a person/outside of the ring, but to use that to negate his talent/discredit skill and capabilities isn't right

Clearly thats what people are doing because look at what people said about Hatton before the fight.

John Tandy (Editor, www.ultimateboxingresults.com) - Hatton TKO10
Hatton has the style that has caused Mayweather problems in the past; he is the stronger, fitter man of the two. Mayweather has the edge in boxing ability, but he has never really needed to really dig deep to grind out a victory. If Mayweather is prepared to stand and fight, this one really could be a classic, Tough fight to call. A lot could depend on how the judges see it. I say it doesn't even end up in the hands of the judges. Hatton by tenth round stoppage.



And what they said about him after the Mayweather fight

A period of exile after the Mayweather loss was difficult for Hatton and six months later 56,000 people watched his tentative win over Juan Lazcano in Manchester. Most had no idea that his confidence was ruined. “It was a test getting hit again,” Hatton admits, and from ringside it was obvious that his mind was not right as he flinched to avoid punches that he had previously walked through.

 

[Luke Cage]

Some other fight predictions in the past.

Julian Kastin:
this is the biggest fight of his life and I think Gatti will come out the winner by decision or possibly even late stoppage. Mayweather hasn't shown a great chin at 140, being rocked twice by Corley, and it seems as if his foot speed isn't what it used to be.


"I pick Corrales to win, possibly by knockout late in the fight. I've seen
the pretty boy training in Phoenix and he's more talk than walk. They say
that Chico hasn't yet fought a Mayweather, well, I assure you Floyd has
never been in with a Corrales."
Rick Farris,
The CBZ


"Mayweather has an ego problem, it affects who he fights and how he fights
them. Certainly his skills and speed are enough to beat Corrales by
decision, but that's the Lennox Lewis way. Unlike Lewis, Mayweather values
***** over brains and sooner or later (most likely sooner) he will feel the
need to mix it up. It is here that Corrales will do damage to help him later
and win rounds. Floyd will eventually move out to avoid a brutal KO defeat
but he will be weakened from brawling and this time he will not stay away
and he gets chopped down in the ninth."
Alex Hall,
The CBZ


"I see this as a rerun of Hearns-Cuevas or Hearns-Duran. It's all about
physics. Granted, Floyd is WAY more mobile than Cuevas or Duran but the
principal remains the same. Corrales is such a freak of nature as a jr.
lightweight. Floyd's only chance to win is to get inside like Sugar Ray did
on Hearns ... But it ain't gonna happen. Corrales, unlike Hearns, is a
mother****er on the inside. If Floyd's stones & ego are heavier than his
brains, Corrales by KO between rounds 2-5. If Floyd decides to run, Corrales
W12."

Lol at Hatton being an unstoppable bulldozer. He got a gift decision vs Luis Collazo. And Gatti was a borderline B class fighter who always got spanked when he stepped up in class..Come on now..

i never thought much of either guy but you above statement could not be truer. we seeing the same thing with PAC right now. nikkas trying to act like PAC is not a legend is just nikkas new way of discrediting floyd's signature win

Hatton was 43 -0 and had won most of his fights (32) by knockout, plus he just come from KO'ing Castillo who a lot of people at the time felt had beaten floyd.

Gatti was favored by a lot of people going into the fight and had just come off his classic ward series and had won the light welterweight title the year before.

i never understood why nikkas hyped both of them up so much. Hatton ass been a bum to me, and gatti was talented but always fought like an idiot. them knida remind me of LUCAS overrated ass

 

[dontreadthis]

am I honestly seeing people shyt on the greatest boxer of all time in Sugar Ray Robinson because he had "no competition" and then seeing people prop up Arturo Gatti and Ricky Hatton to prove their points?

this kind of foolishness reflects poorly on the coli as a whole smh........

 

[Mook]

Ray was fighting once a week though
