    But Floyd has told everyone that he is the greatest boxer of all time?

    So can i ask you one simple question...............

    Is he a bullshitter?

    While I agree that Mayweather will be able to compete in that era, he will not be able to compete in without getting hurt. The boxers in the old era was more hungry compared to this era.

    Not once have I expressed hate for the man, I don't know him. Try again ,because it is not working for you. Did you say only good things could be said about Floyd or something?

    Thanks for giving an actual argument and not just talking **** and bashing :good
    Also I do agree with you, but I don't think it would hurt him as bad as you think

    TBH I had him losing to Castillo. And even in the 2nd fight I only had him winning by 2 points. That's just 1 fight but it was in the heart of Floyd's prime and Castillo doesn't even get a peak at ATG. I think Floyd is massively overrated on east side boxing. Unbeaten? yes. Unbeatable? hell no. Not even close really.

    And honestly, I like Floyd. Despite his flaws he's one of the best fighters of his generation. Just I don't like how overrated he is.

    Keep in mind overrated does not mean not good, just not as good as people think.

    Floyd isn't that dominant over this era..Probably cuz he doesn't fight any dominant figures himself.

    I don't care about Pacquiao, I never brought him up and I don't give a **** what he said because he's at least an active fighter.

    evrybody seen the interview, he was asked who he thinks is the greatest ever and he hesitated and then asked am I included, the interviewer said yes and he said he thinks he is the GOAT

    now when Muhammad Ali was asked he said he thought SRR was the GOAT

    and i will find the video now:good

    well Manny and Cotto are both fighting bull**** fighters, so would you rather rest or fight a meaningless fight that you have a 200% chance of winning
