    Don't need to watch a second of the video. Floyd had an excellent early career, but then that gave way to ducking, cherry picking, ultra low T/E ratios, private drug testing, illegal IV fluids, and then a 0-0-0 MMA fighter for his final fight. The third (Ward is second imo) best fighter of the generation behind Pacquiao.

    The best and 2nd best fighters of the aforementioned generation did not lose like Pacquiao. Come to think of it we have to rank Pacquiao‘a Daddy Juan Manuel Marquez ahead of Pacquiao.

    Mr. Rotimi,

    You would be the only person on the planet that believes that. But there are many people who believe Castillo was robbed, Oscar was a draw, and Maidana was a draw and even some thought he should have gotten the nod.

    Also, you should know better, friend. SRR, Ali, Duran, Armstrong, and many other higher ranking fighters than Floyd have lost multiple times.

    Dear Pakkuman Esq.

    I believe we were talking of the best of their generation and clearly Floyd is the fighter of his generation followed by Ward and it is also true that Marquez proved he had Pacquiao‘a number.

    The fact all time greats have lost does not diminish Floyd’s standing rather it enhances it. The amazing thing about Floyd is he beat the system and changed the game for ever and for better. That is his legacy.

    Todorov whooped him. Castillo, De La Hoya and Maidana all beat him

    He swerved Margarito like the plague.

    Didn't chase greatness by ducking the challenge of going up to face Golovkin at middleweight. Cause he knew he'd get beat

    He chose his opponents by his watch, picking the perfect time when they were usually past it ( Paqcuaio, Mosley, Cotto). Or too green (Alvarez)

    Or he made his opponents move up in weight ( Marquez, Hatton)

    He aint nowhere near one of the greats. He didn't have the balls to chase real greatness.

    Pure fantasy buddy. It will never become true no matter how many times its repeated. The truth will set you free.

    He could have been so much more...

    dodgy hands, protected ego and careful management only allows you to go so far.

    His dare to be great move was leaving Arum

    Holding onto an 0 only draws closer scrutiny.

    I only got to watch him fight at welterweight, I wasn't impressed. Beating up mediocre talent as a heavy A-side then fighting the man he should have been fighting 7 years too late. No good.

    Theres video evidence pal. Unfortunately Mayweathers fights are always too boring to ever watch twice. But I know what I saw. He could easily have multiple losses on his record.

    He's the best fighter of the era and the fighter of the decade was the king of the sport and made more money than any fighter in history. What more do you want from the guy?
    Lastly you said you only got to watch him at ww that should automatically disqualify you from giving an honest opinion on him because the majority of his fights were below 147.

    He was a good fighter, one of the most protected and most blatant duckers in history tho. Castillo 100% beat him.

    The truth hurts.

    If floyd wanted to be a true great he would have fought the best in their primes and in their weight division.

    He should have had the balls to move up a few pounds to face prime Golovkin at middleweight!
    If he'd have done that and won he would have proved he was one of the best ever.


    Duran moved up to middleweight to face Barkley. Yet Floyd didn't have the balls to do similar. Floyd didn't dare to be great..
