The Truth
It also much harder to go undefeated in mma, there are a lot more factors involved.

smaller gloves.

kicks

bjj.

wild scrambles where anything can happen.

wrestling
Possibly

So why talk shyt to a boxer that has gone undefeated in 20 years when these MMA cats haven't even WON 20 fights...

And yeah, the Mayweather effect seems to be real. I wouldn't expect it with Brober though, I actually thought they were trying to build up a fight.

But everyone of them talked shyt and rode Mayweathers coattails to fame... Only to crash and burn shortly after

The GOAT Jon Jones is ready to rep #TMT :wow:
“I haven’t (talked to him yet), but my business partners have already reached out to him and you may see me in some Money Team gear. I’m not saying I’m joining ‘The Money Team’, but it’s definitely a possibility, I’m not opposed to it. Floyd’s career has been tremendous.”

I like MMA but it's MMA cats that try and call out boxers.

bull shyt lol

people love Sugar ray because he took on all comers in there prime, and fought a lot in short period of time. He would have been loved just as much if he won every fight.

If ali would have went undefeated he still would have been loved and praised.

these boxing debate type conversations never end well so ima bow out now.
Bow out after you call bull shyt?

Larry Holmes bust EVERYONE's ass until he got old. How far down on the list of greatest heavyweights is he for most? Folks can't give him the respect he deserves because he beat everyone and diminished their value.

You can't love a fighter who beat everyone because it diminishes the other fighter's value. Sugar can't be great without beatin' great fighters. Can't argue that. But how do you get great fighters?
Who's Duran without a win over Leonard? Hearns, Hagler... these fighters are best known for their fights against EACH OTHER.
And Hagler wasn't in his prime. They were both old and Hagler retired afterwards.

Same with Ali. Who is Frazier without the Ali win? Norton? Part of Ali's legacy is comin' back to beat those fighters.
And with Ali, it's circumstance. He crushes Frazier if they fight before his 3 year ban... probably bad enough there's no trilogy.

Loved and praised? Sure. Considered the greatest? How so without beatin' other greats? But how are those boxers great? By beatin' other greats. And so on.

when you call mayweather the goat do you mean in terms of money making as a boxer?

I hope you mean in terms of money making.


I used to dislike Mayweather because I felt like his style was boring..

But then I realized that they praise the h3ll of of Tim Duncan for being

Fundamentally sound:mjpls:

Preserving his body:mjpls:

And doing whatever it takes to win get a W


So why the hiccup w\hen it comes to Mayweather for basically having the same kind of career :yeshrug:

Either you love the both of them or you hate the both of them, but it can't be one or the other

Hate that this racist is getting the biggest payday of his life off Floyd but glad Money May is getting another 9 figure cash infusion.
