    Jeez man what more proof do you need?? Mayweather caught ILLEGALLY receiving almost EIGHT TIMES !! the normal dose of saline drip permitted for dehydration. In his own home. With NO TUE granted. Ask any doctor or nurse what condition a person would be in who was so severely dehydrated no need that amount of saline? They'll tell you " He'd be in ICU not running round a boxing ring for 12 rounds ( 36 mins)
    When Thomas Hauser broke this story the NSAC allowed Mayweather to submit a TUE for the saline THREE WEEKS after the incident happened & GRANTED it !!!!
    Then issued a statement " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" ROFLMAO. Jeez man Mayweather, The NSAC, USADA & Vegas boxing were all involved in the Blatant Cheating. They all knew why Mayweather needed the 750 ml of saline same as any other unbiased boxing fan knows.
    This is how many times has this happened in the past 10 years??
    In my opinion Mayweather & all his accomplices mentioned above are nothing but
    CHEATERS & should be held accountable

    Mike even said in his biography he never even bothered to train for the Douglas fight. He was too preoccupied with getting his humps in with the hotel maids.

    And his style was impetuous! :thumbsup:

    Yeah but thats his fault. Floyd stayed dedicated and motivated and focused, and thats why he is undefeated.

    Superior at throwing hard punches and knocking people out
    But Floyd was superior in terms of boxing skills and ring IQ

    Talk about a totally unbias opinion, this takes the cake.

    It's not even possible to compare the massive gulf in talent and skills between these two.

    Tyson was a seek and destroy fighter that was blessed with too much raw talent for his weakened mind to comprehend.

    Obviously tyson being a HW was the more powerful and destructive force, per the naked eye. Way roo much smoke ,smoke and more smoke with shattered mirrors with tyson.

    Fmj at his peak was a deadly puncher and beat the ever living hell out if his opponents. Tyson appeared to have 1 punch ko power but he truly never had. He couldn't even hurt the best hw's of his own era. He beat who was there to be beat, which was NO ONE.

    The vast majority believe tyson peaked when hw flattened spinks, who by the way was a tiny lhw compared to tyson.. the most impressive feat tyson accomplished to me was him tko'ing a semi retired totally shot holmes.

    Tyson could had been a fairly dominate hw champ had he not been so weak. The fight game is 75% mental (some claim 90%) but **** no. It's 75% mental because once that elite level fighters level is met the most important are training correctly and being able to stay sharp and think in split second increments, something tyson wasn't ever able to do while that massively important aspect was one of fmj very best qualities.

    Fmj was the single most talented, dedicated and most skilled fighter ive ever seen to date. Tyson isn't anywhere near fmj level in anything except popularity. He gained so much pitty and empathy from our paryetic general public one would think he was a god.

    It's truly embarrassing and shows nothing but total and utter ignorance putting those fighters in the same book.

    Fmj was a once in a forever talent while tyson was a strong talented puncher that shouldn't had burnt out so quick...

    Excellent post. Tyson was vastly overrated because he crushed so many cans with ease. Floyd Mayweather is way more skilled and fought much tougher competition

    Tyson easy.

    Tyson had great defense AND offense. P4P he had: Better speed and power. Tyson gave a great fight too, Floyd is boring as hell.

    Tyson. He implemented an impeccable defense in a full-on, 100% offensive style. That takes way more talent and skill than defensive counterpunching. No disrespect to Mayweather.
