    Anyone favoring Margarito, Zoo, or Williams is an idiot and/or hater.

    I’m talking about official odds. He easily beat half of the guys you named. Pathetic.

    Official odds? Is that another statistic you Floyd fanboys document to prove he’s TBE?

    He beat half those guys AFTER they were seen as legitimate threats and never fought the others.

    A good metric for how great Mayweather was is the measurement of how triggered grown men are about him years into his retirement.

    ROFLMAO Floyd was terrified of Margarito Everyone knows it.Theyve seen the videos lol. When he came out with " God or someone told me not to fight Margarito" LOL Before that it was " No one knows who Margarito is " LOL He knew who he was when he saw him standing in front of him LOL. Remember Floyd Sr saying " I'm not letting little Floyd fight Pacquaio his health is more important than $$$$ "

    Pacquiao fought prime fighters???? Barrera Morales not at their best David Diaz??? No explanation, Hatton?? Was coming from getting beat by Collazo that almost took his head off And getting knocked out by Mayweather, Cotto??? Was just coming in from a brutal assault from bricks and catch weight , Mosley has old and coming from a shut out from Mayweather, Margarito coming in without his secret weapon and was drained, DLH old and weight drained looked horrible against 2 pounds Forbes before Pacquiao fight...

    Joe Louis clearly fits this agenda.

    Simply because, black fighters are matched with white fighters (more interesting) to bring in bigger gates. It has all to do with making more money. Just like back in the 1920's and 1930's, Irish fighters against Jewish fighters, Italian vs. Irish and Jewish. Do you get what I mean.

    But he didn’t did he.

    Where’s the context?

    He schooled a version of Canelo from 2013. That is simply different from schooling this current version of Canelo.

    He gets credit for beating the version who he fought. Not the current version.

    And he dodged Manny for years, before finally fighting a faded and injured version, after taking PEDS.

    So: No. He didn’t go for it like the greats of the past did.

    It's really not hard to figure out ... How can he be top 10 when Ray Leonard isn't even Top10 ... LOL ... Too many great fighters in the history of the sport ..
