seriously man, stop it

yes Ali and Tyson are more interesting people than Floyd Mayweather, but what does that have to do with the sweet science

you didn't even mention anything about actually boxing and techniques in this entire post

its all bout the mystique of Tyson and Ali


This means the whole OP went completely over your head.

Theres no reason to even speak to you though all you do is cup floyd balls like hes the only fighter in the sport.

Sometimes greatness does include the overall man you are outside the ring.

But rather than get into all that...why don't you make the case for why Floyd is the best ever...rather than ask others to prove that he is not?

After all, it IS Floyd who claims he is the best.

He's a complete fighter offensive and defense, he can adjust to any type of fight and fight any style, never been anyone like him, if he wasn't a small fighter nobody would even argue, I see the biggest problem people have is saying a small guy is the best because it makes them feel like failures in their life

even if mayweather loses his next fight, I will still say hes the best I ever seen because its just the truth, he's not fastest guy he's not the strongest guy, he's the most skilled guy

I was listening to an old Bill Burr podcast where he mentioned an argument with his buddy Paul Virzi where Virzi said that Floyd Mayweather Jr would beat:

Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Tommy Hearns
and Marvin Hagler

Burr's argument was that Mayweather would at best, go 2-2 versus the 4 men.

So coli members, you got $10,000 to bet.

You think Mayweather is beating all 4 men?

:sas2:

Lol at Floyd fighting Hagler at 160. His best weight was at 135 ish where he would give Duran that work. Another case where Floyd is pitted against giants just so an L can be placed.

floyd beats duran
floyd beats SRL
floyd vs hagler i give the edge to hagler, hes just too big at 160
hearns is taylor made to beat floyd but at the same time i wouldnt bet my money against floyd
never seen a fighter make adjustments like him ever:yeshrug:
This is more logical

:mindblown: But he (and others) are saying that Floyd's the best all time.

Of course you're going to pit him against boxing giants, you twerp.

:dahell:

Edit - I guess you meant giants in terms of weight.

But Hagler fought the lighter guys mentioned.

Dunno about complete offense and defense. Floyd's probably got the least power of any of the Greats mentioned above.
And they also fought better fighters.

Yall really trying to say if Hagler fought at 154 he'd be so drained he couldn't take on Floyd?

What's always going to hurt Floyd the most in these H2H match ups is that we never got to see him fight against someone just as overall good as himself. So these bouts come down to potential based off of him beating B/B+ level guys in his career.

For example, It's easy to say SRL beats guys like Trinidad, Oscar, and Quartey (2nd tier great welters) because he's already been in against guys like Hearns, Benitez, Duran etc.. that are better.

With Floyd for example, we're looking at his fights against guys like Judah and Hatton, and wonder if he'd be able to beat much higher classes of boxers in SRL, Hearns, Duran, etc..

That's a big ass step up, even for a guy as skilled as Floyd. In addition to that, he's not as physically strong or as imposing as those older generation of boxers.

Dude boxed cautious as hell against Canelo who is naturally bigger and while being a good fighter, is nowhere near being great.. Killers like SRL, Duran, Hearns wouldn't let Mayweather get away with boxing like that.

I know some in here will disagree with this post, and that's cool, but at least try to understand where some of us are coming from when we say shyt like Floyd loses to Hearns, SRL, Duran, etc..

Let alone the fact that SRL had to move UP to 160 to fight Marvin Hagler....and still beat him fresh off of 3 years of ring rust from the sport with no warm up fight or nothing:ohlawd:


Again, the only equivalent to that would be Floyd going up to 160, fighting GGG and beating him.....and even THEN, GGG is not in Marvin Hagler's class so it would still be a lesser victory:wow:


That's why those fighters are held in such high esteem by respected journalists/reporters/writers/hardcore fans

you understand that despite how great he fought canelo, that he wasnt a prime floyd mayweather?
in his prime if he wanted to box and counter punch u to death there was literally nothing you can do about it:wow:
prime floyd woulda knocked canelo out

hearns and hagler have the best chances cause they are Bigger, can box, and can jab.
but again, when floyd makes the adjustments, like he does against every opponent, will they be able to counter that?
that's the biggest question mark i have when i compare him to the greats
i've never seen a more versatile fighter ever

guy has a computer in his brain or something
i hear what your sayin tho

Fistful of jewels
i want to suck floyd so bad. I hope he sees this and let's me take ellerbes spot. I'll rub his chest so much better. Please floyd, notice me. I'm putting in work daily. You don't even have to give me money, just let me be around you.
This is all I see every time this lame responds to floyd related topics.
