Floyd Keeps Saying There's no "Blueprint" to beat him...

He is his promoter, he probably dosetn mean it. And most boxing fans do not study boxing history to the extent of ourselves on the Classic, and he does look phenomenal.

 

Yeh, I agree with this. But I also understand not every fan knows of the Gods of War and he is just telling them what he wants them to hear.

I didn't make myself clear there.

I'm saying he has been completly dominant with everyone he has faced, and it impresses the casual fan,who may have seen say Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya before, but isnt a big fan. He has seen these fighters and thinks 'WOW, Mayweather is better than these guys, he must be the greatest ever.'

Floyd is a great fighter, just not the greatest.

We are arguing really over semantics, just I am more sympathetic to the uneducated and let them think what they think.

Also, I have the DVD in your avater. A good watch

 

Why do you have to overcome more adversity to be "greater"?
How can you make these type of statements on the guy when hes never lost? Im not saying that hes the greatest, but hes proven to me he would give any fighter hell in history up to 147.

 

I can't see many fighters having an easy time with Mayweather at 135 to 147. Perhaps Hearns has the easiest time with him.

 

I feel he'd be very competitve with Leonard and Duran at 147. Not a walk in the park for either of them.

 

Dunno, Leonard would walk through the more flat footed version imo.a perfect chance for him to really get those Robinson combinations going and just keep the pace up.

Ray would get hit plenty fighting like that but Floyd would be eating the kind of rights he took early against Mosley, round after round on a semi-regular basis, with a real killer who isn't going to let up if he gets countered walking him down.

If Floyd fights cautiously and on the backfoot it could be more of an ugly, competitive fight, but ultimately he just doesn't have the offensive firepower needed against a Welter boxer-puncher the calibre of Leonard.

 

Yes, really. Re-watch the fights.

 

Floyd got more adversity from several previous fighters, than he did from that old choker in front of him the other night.

 

I don't know if you're being sarcastic Lora, not really important, but from round 3 onwards, Mosley had absolutely nothing to offer Floyd. So I think you're right.

 

No not being sarcastic this time.I voiced my concerns about Mosley's frontrunning nature before the fight and it was borne out far more than i expected to be honest.

He's not a confident or adaptable fighter once the comp goes beyond decent solid fighters.
