    That would be epic. 1 more commercial, cap it off as a trilogy.

    it depends how you look at it though

    Floyd certainly won easily in the sense that he barely did anything. so from this perspective it was one of Floyd's easiest wins.

    taking biased commentary and judging out of the equation, (a byproduct of Floyd's aura and status) the fight was extremely close.

    so he won easily, but not clearly... there is a difference. Anyone claiming Floyd clearly won has obviously not watched the fight carefully or, of course, is biased. I myself thought Floyd may have done enough to barely edge it out, maybe 115-113.

    Floyd is TBE. That is the question. Ali is the greatest and Sugar Ray the real Sugar is pound for pound the best ever. Duran the most ferocious.

    Here's my thing about Mayweather not throwing combos. Since he is a defensive fighter, throwing combos would require him to stay a bit a longer than he would like therefore being a punching bag for incoming punches. He lands probably higher than any other boxer with pot shotting, so why need to throw combos?

    Never made a list. I'm guessing top 30, maybe top 20?

    No matter how much **** comes out of his mouth, and how far he is from being the best ever, being one of the greatest 20 or 30 boxers to ever lace them up is an amazing achievement.

    Floyd fares really well H2H from 130-140 (although not high enough to beat Duran at 135), but less so at 147.

    If they were naturally the same size, I think Floyd gives Leonard a close fight and drops a decision, but they're not, and here Leonard wins a clear UD by a wider margin.

    Leonard from 1979-82 was pretty amazing. And that also speaks measures of how great Duran was, two divisions above his best division.

    :lol:

    The one who faced Gatti and Corrales :lol:

    DLH and Mosly would,have wiped the floor with both those guys ..

    Floyd would lose to both a prime Moelsy and Oscar

    Mayweather won clearly, come on now. I wish it wasn't the case, but he clearly won a dull fight.
