Manfredy was an underrated operator at his best.

What happened to mvc?

 

This version of Mayweather would've killed Loma and Garcia, probably even on the same night... and I'm a fan of Garcia

 

Where is he?

 

Great anniversary but i never like the stoppage. Dont know but the standing 8 count was needed and should have been used.

 

He was a ****ing Beast at 130.

 

Interesting point. You said that Mayweather had a HOF career before he moved up to Welterweight. And he did become a constantly semi retired, risk averse potshotter against overmatched or older competition.

I would agree that he was a HOFer before he moved to 147. By that time he was a 3 weight champ. With victories over guys like Manfreddy, Corrales, Castillo and Judah. And unlike the vast majority of his fights at 147 and higher these guys were actually at high points in their career.

My thing is this. Dont p4p credentials have to be renewed every so often? Mayweather was being called p4p number 1, literally, a decade later after his last impressive victory over a top fighter at their peak. Which was Ricky Hatton in 2007.

Why was FMJ or even Manny Pacquiao for that matter called p4p in the mid 2010s? When Pacquiaos last p4p level performance was in 2009 and Mayweathers in 2007?

At some point doesnt it all just become groupthink and marketing? Like geez the guy is doing multi million PPV buys. He must be automatic p4p. When in actuality they haven't done anything to renew p4p credentials in years.

A similar example was Rigo last year. Why was an old 37 Rigo anywhere near a p4p list. The guy had 1 impressive victory over a blown up Flyweight years back. And then he just lived off that momentum and reputation for years. Meanwhile he didnt actually beat anybody after that. And then Loma fights him and everybody realizes or goes, wait a minute the guy was old and didnt have a fight of note in years. And I'm sitting here going well no ****. In fact, Loma laughed off the fight being competitive pre fight. He said and I quote "Hes too old, he has a lot of years". Is it obvious? Yes. But obvious for boxing fans and media is rocket science.
