    Floyd Mayweather was truly a brilliant fighter. One of the best ever.

    It doesn’t matter if Floyd beat Manny, who beat Thurman.

    Floyd was never fighting Thurman himself.

    There is no hate.

    You only claim that when you aren’t able to refute anything.

    I’m not going through the saga with Manny again, I’ve told you what happened.

    You haven’t produced any facts.

    You can’t even admit that after years of slandering Manny, that it was Floyd who was the one who was guilty of taking PEDS.

    Now now, lads, don't argue. Both Manny and Floyd took more than their share of PEDs.

    Top 5, maybe even #1. You have to be a Master to be in a sport where the object is hit and not get hit, and actually be able to do that. Hit an don't get hit is the ultimate thing you can do, 99.999999% of boxers never really accomplish that. they may hit but they also get hit, or they barely hit and get hit plenty etc. But Floyd hit and never got hit. MASTER of the Craft.

    I admired guys like Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns.. Guys who fought for the sport and because they loved it. Floyd is about money and exploiting the fans a bit. His whole attitude was about being undefeated, and he orchestrated that. I just don't see how he can be rated very high in an orchestration.

    Was this supposed to be aimed at me?

    You can’t even spell my username properly?

    Why don’t you try and refute anything that I’ve said.

    I’ll wait.
