Many years from now, people will look back and realize that May is indeed TBE

One day we may have a computer that lets you watch tommy hearns **** him in a 3 rounder. I cant wait!

 

would you do business with another promoter if he owes you money.mj

 

:deal

Guy was responsible for steering up and comers away from tough fights and towards protecting the "0" resulting in the worst era of boxing, ever.

All Floyd will be remembered for is an era of marketing and ducking.

 

Floyd and just Floyd changed boxing by himself from never losing a fight?!

Hmm...

I tell you what, it will be his haters, not his admirers, who add to his legacy when these forums are dug up 30 years from now.

 

Floyd set a strong precedent of the best not fighting the best, but still getting away with calling themselves the best and making money.

I'm not a hater, I call it like I see it - and in 30 years theres pretty much no way Floyd or his era will be remembered particularly fondly, nor will he be accounted an ATG by most.

Floyd is basically the Backstreet Boys of boxing, intensely popular with a certain subsection of the populace for a period of time. Its pretty telling that even his fans focus on his money as what defines him.

 

No

 

all the **** you guys get on Mayweather for was done by past fighters

Sugar Ray Robinson was going to cancel a fight the day beforehand because he wanted the ring to be 2 feet larger.

Sugar Ray Leonard had less fights and longer layoffs than Floyd. He dragged Lalonde down a whole weight class to fight for a title at 168 and 175 at the same time.
He fought Hagler while choosing the size of the ring, the amount of rounds being fought, etc.

Oscar De La Hoya dragged a 40 year old man down 2 pounds in a catchweight.
He also choose the brand of gloves Mayweather would fight him in and dragged him up a weight class higher

should I go on?

 

GGG has done none of that. When GGG is done his resume and character will dwarf Mayweather's. :grouphug

 

Many years from now Floyd will be broke working at Fat burger.

 

Floyd is only listed as undefeated because he fought in Vegas Castillo & Maidana beat him but Vegas looked after Floyd
Years from now he'll be forgotten broke on skid row. Who's fault is it??? HIS OWN!!!
If only he'd had the balls of an ATG to match his natural talents he could have been one of the greats

 

if GGG keeps up this pace, his resume won't even surpass Canelo's

 

I'm glad you mention Leonard. I saw him as the progenitor of the sort of behavior we all know Mayweather for. Even though he took on the best, he was coddled and all his demands were given.

 

GGG has a better win this year. Geale > Maidana. :grouphug

 

Not even his own family believes that

 

Golovkin has yet to beat a fighter who carried a belt with them to the ring.

He has yet to win a title that wasn't vacant.
