The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

You say I'm dramatic but you're trying to start a movement... On a boxing forum... On the internet. Right. Best of luck.

 

Superb fighter.

Just a shame he never met 'CrackTop' Paddy, a trainer of the day who famously taught his nan how to intimidate Bison.

 

that's a myth blowing out porportion imo.. Just like people claiming Hagler was robbed against SRL or Oscar was robbed against Tito.. All were close fights which could ve gone either way. actually Leonard Hagler was pretty clear Leonard win imo.

 

Zoo was a Showtime fighter and PBF was an HBO fighter the two don't cross promote only have done it twice for mega fights. PBF-Zoo didn't warrant this type of promotion so how is it on PBF that the fight never happened? Margo is a disgraced cheat. Pac when the fight was at it's closest to being made ran away because of drug testing back in 2009. Sergio is a MW. Williams moved up in weight. Bradley Top Rank fighter. Freitas didn't want a piece of PBF back when he was at 130. Casa might be the only one you have a point with.

The truth is guys like Oscar and Mosley ducked PBF when he was coming up through the ranks he called out both for years and was ignored. Lastly while both were at 140 Arum said Cotto was too green and wouldn't make the fight at that time.

 

Ranking a ATG IMO is that u go by resume and skills. with him winning 9 titles in 5 weight classes, Lineal in 4 and holding 2 continusly and being 45-0 and only 1 close fight ranks him hella high. its not his fault he doesnt have a Duran and SRL in his ERA but the best of his era hes fought all expect for one and tried to fight Pac.

Mosley was one of the best of this Era,DLH, Marquez. solid fighters in Corrlaes,Castillo,Hatton,Cotto,Genarao Hernadez, Gatti, Caenlo. Half of those are actually most are Hall of Famers.

Hes fought everybody he could and still has more fights. personally i think hes close to top 25 and can go higher when he retires, espcially if hes undefetead

 

Haglar won a close fight with SRL that could have gone either way

Oscar gave the fight away to Tito (but it is reasonable for people to see Oscar still winning)

Pea got outright robbed . . . and I hate that word because it is used WAY to much.

 

He wasn't a slouch but he's not as good as his fans make him out to be, he could be outboxed and was during his career.

 

Close??? Pea won that fight 9-3 at worst.

 

Agreed Taylor and Pea sure did ..

 

*crickets* :rofl

 

I felt Hagler beat Leoanard by that was close

As far as Trinidad Oscar Tito May have won 3 rds tops gets your eyes check that fight wasn't close at all the same with the Whitiker fight !

 

I'm no Chavez fan, but I'm so sick of everybody saying Taylor schooled Chavez, Taylor suffered a broken eye socket, broken ribs, badly busted up face, had a lot of blood pumped from his stomach and was in hospital for almost 2 weeks following the fight. So how the hell did Taylor school Chavez. Whitaker on the other DID outbox and school Chavez, i'll give you that.

 

There's no way the boxing community in general is every going to rate him top 10 that's just not going to happen. This article is a pretty fair assessment as to where he's at now.

Precisely.

 

I'm not really disagreeing, but it is what it is. He could have fought Pac in his prime and he still could fight GGG. Yes Mosley was one of the best in his era, but his era wasn't Floyd's era, that's the problem. I would have loved to see FLoyd fight a prime SSM but it couldn't have happened. However, a prime Pac was definitely a possibly. So he had his Duran (not quite Duran like but the closest there is) and he didn't fight him and there's no getting around that.
