    Once a title is vacated new lineage must be established that usually happens when the # 1 and # 2 guys fight ..But as of now Floyd and Manny have yet to fight so both guys have that claim at welter ..

    I dont proclaim to be the best ever at what i do

    If i did, i would prove it.

    Claiming something, and then not proving it and saying 'health comes first' as a reason to not prove it indicates fear = coward

    Lesson finished

    He said nothing of the sort, here's the actual interview: :rofl

    On how Mayweather and Pacquiao would do against himself, Leonard, Hagler, Benitez and Duran:

    “I think that [Mayweather] would do pretty good. He’s got good head movement and I can’t put him down. … I have to give him his props. He could last.
    “Manny Pacquiao, I think that he’s a pretty good fighter too. I think that he would do well. He would do OK. I think that he would do pretty good.”

    On what his strategy would be in a fight against Mayweather:


    Against me, I would have to respect him. I think that he could go the distance with me. I would have to out-think him and definitely out-jab him. He’s a shorter man, so he can’t get to me.
    “I would have to keep the jab on him and keep him at a distance and force him to use his head movement all of the time. Somewhere down the line, I would probably hit him with a couple of right hands.
    “I would probably get him with a good right hand if not an average right hand. If I was to go to the body, you know that might play into what he is probably trying to do strategically.
    “I think that if I got closer to him trying to land a body shot, that would be what he wants. So I think that my best thing would be to stay on the outside and just box him. But I think that he could go the distance with me.”

    On his strategy against Pacquiao:

    “He would definitely have to come to me. I would probably just box him and keep boxing him and look for the shot. Yeah, definitely, I would box him and look for the opening. I would give him a good boxing lesson. [Laughs.]“


    On whether either Mayweather or Pacquiao could beat him:

    “[Laughs.] Listen, they’re good fighters, right? Can’t take anything away from those guys. But you know anybody who was in my weight division, you know, I would give them hell.
    “They would have to be really fighting hard and be ready to absorb a lot of punches to beat me. Because, you know, I ain’t going to let anybody just come in and beat me.”

    ^^What exactly did i fabricate?

    he said that Floyd would go the distance with him. He doesn't believe he'd knock him out.

    Personally, I don't think FLoyd would beat Leonard or Hearns, those guys were naturally MUCH larger men than Mayweather.

    DO we forget that they both started at WW and won championships up at LHW? It's essentially asking how would FLoyd do fighting Kovalev?

    That's why I don't hypothesize any ATG bouts between Mayweather and other true WW's as they're much larger than him.

    FLoyd should only be spoken about in hypothetical matchups between 130-140. Guys like Benny Leonard, Hank Armstrong, Duran, Pryor, JCC, Whitaker.

    Now those guys were much closer to FLoyd's size. Not a 6 '1 freak in Hearns or a 5 "10 ATG like SRL or SRR.

    Sorry, but that's not how you become a lineal titlist.

    :lol: This **** is sad, is everyone on this form a mental 5 year old stealing from the cookie jar.

    You fabricated these quotes:

    "but that he didn't believe he could KO FLoyd."


    "He felt that FLoyd could fight with the Fab 4 of his era, but not Manny."


    "He also believes Manny would be easy work for himself, but thought that Mayweather's boxing ability and movement would be much tougher."

    ^Hey keyboard warrior, enough with infantile insults. HOw old are you exactly?

    He said Manny would be an easier fight and that he'd look for the shot and give him a good boxing lesson. to me that sounds like someone who would take the KO when it presented itself.

    He said Mayweather's boxing skills and head movement would more than likely make it a 15 round decision.

    I don't think Pacman or Floyd have a shot against against him. But personally, if both men fought Duran, Benitez, Hearns and SRL, I think FLoyd would go 2-2 in those fights and Manny would probably lose all 4, maybe eek out a decision against Benitez.

    I didn't fabricate anything, it seems like I got that quote down pretty well. I know the DC school system is atrocious, maybe you have a hard time understanding what I was saying in clear ENGLISH.
