Mayweather only fought for half of the decade. Shane Mosley (good win) Victor Ortiz (was coming off of brutal fight w/ Berto where he was on the verge of being knocked out... twice) Miguel Cotto (good win in a close fight) Robert Guerrero Canelo Alvarez (drained, green) Marcos Maidana (draw was best case scenario for Floyd; paid 1.5 million to Maidana to wear different gloves) Marcos Maidana Manny Pacquiao (injured plus Floyd used illegal IVs) Andre Berto (lol) Conor McGregor (0-0-0 record) Teenaged Japanese Bantamweight Kickboxer Considerations Had ultra low T/E ratios in 2 fights (red flag for doping) Used illegal IV fluids in the biggest fight in the history of boxing Paid an opponent to wear different gloves Ducked Pacquiao for 5 years Uh, no.
Close fight? (Lol) Ok. Multiple championship fights is green? Pacquiao has drained people as well... Double Standards are mad. Could've gone either way, Floyd had a won in there. Maidana let him... ****ing hell get over it cuz It's boring now. Show us the case for the IVs. Injured? Not Floyd's fault. And Pac re-injured it in the 3rd, it was supposedly fine going into the fight. Better than Clottey, Rois, Bradley, Horn (lol), Vargas and Algeri....
Close was the wrong word, but it was a very competitive fight. Hmm... name another opponent that Pacquiao and Floyd fought that is talking about fighting at Light Heavyweight... Hmm... Hmm... Maidana won. And Floyd paid $1.5 million dollars for Maidana to wear gloves he wasn't used to. Floyd used illegal IV fluids for a non-existent medical condition. You are the one who can't understand or refuse to acknowledge the extreme shadiness of the situation. Find a way to deal with it. Just don't deny foul play. Wow. Better than Bradley, Clottey, Vargas, and Algieri? Hell, Rios might even stop Berto. You're ****ing dumb, dude. How hate does your deep run to say something so idiotic?
Marquez arguably beat pac in all 4 fights. Him and Floyd aren't controversial. Berto is bottom of the barrel. I like the guy, but he is not better than some of the guys you mention here.
He's on a level of those guys. For Pacroid to say lol at Berto (who Floyd didn't lose a round to) he should really be saying lol to Horn (who Pacquiao lost to) And he makes out like it was the worst robbery ever. I can see a case for a draw or a Horn win. The 3rd Marquez fight was worse
Floyd and Marquez agreed on a catchweight. Floyd didn't bother to make the weight and paid the penalty. The fight wasn't on even terms.
