    Only the worst of FMJ haters would say the man is overrated. I mean, come the **** on. If you can say FMJ is overrated, and SRR and SRL aren't w/o blinking an eye, then its not even worth having a boxing conversation with you.

    he is the best of his era....people love to hate em, some people overhype him and other underrate him because of his personality

    Now lets time travel back to the Golden Age and his best weights which are 130-140.

    Champions at the time....Uncle Roger, Julio Cesar Chavez, Aaron Pryor, Camacho, Livingston Bramble, Azumah Nelson, Vinny Pazienza, Greg Haugen, Pernell Whitaker, Edwin Rosario, Brian Mitchell, Rock Lockridge


    Mayweather is an all-time great he would have had success and been a champion in any era...Only guy I'd favor over him is Whitaker he beats the the rest...its not fair to compare him to welterweights because even though he has been a champion their and higher he isnt at his best or at his prime age or weight but below hard to argue he is a beast

    Despite his failings outside the ring Floyd is the best of this generation. Obvious ******* is obvious.

    Overrated by fanboys, underrated by haters like pretty much any other boxer. His skills are incredible but he has a way to pick his fights that is very irritating about him.

    He's not nearly as overrated as many of the primitive old timers boxing fans love to worship here, though

    pacquiao could beat him. I would of favored pac 2-3 years ago.

    greatness isnt based on "could of / would of".

    Floyd is the greatest of this era.. how? Pacquiao has already proven he's greater, a long time ago.

    Best is debatable, since Floyd never fought the other 'best of this era.'

    That's the face of a liar folks. He's most definitely on it and was taken right off guard not expecting that


    BUT, there is nothing wrong with having average testosterone levels so it's not illegal whatsoever.

    the drug testing is weak. they know when they are going to be tested.

    if he has a theraputic use exemption form for trt it doesn't matter if synthetic test shows up in his system.

    all floyd has to do to get approval is get a doctor to agree to give him it.$$$$$

    the point is that athletes that get this treatment generally don't really need it. it is just an excuse to use a PED. the limits on test are related to the testosterone/epitestosterone ratio in the body. if you are jacking up your T levels all you have to do is increase the ept to the same level to beat the test.

    a huge majority of boxers will be using PEDs. the testing system guarantees it.

    I must admit I'm biased against Mayweather, simply because he has no humility whatsoever. I remember the Tyson of old, he used to beat a man half to death, then he'd be the first one to go pick the guy up afterwards, make sure he's okay.

    That's what I had against Ali also. He seemed to have this attitude that everyone was out to get him, so he had to be better than everyone else, physically and mentally. I always wondered where his spirituality fit in with that whole point of view.

    I think the 'best ever' thing is kind of overboard. I know people thought the same thing too when Ali was saying he's the greatest while he was fighting. I think people reflecting back on history should say that after boxers retire. The thing I also don't like about Floyd is that he puts too much emphasis on his 0 losses. Great fighters have lost and bounced back, some got stopped and destroyed in the process too. I think he puts tremendous pressure on himself to train harder because of it. Now lots of people not only want to see him lose, they want him to fall hard in life, period. Funny thing is, those same people swear they'll never buy or watch his PPV fights again after he wins (either by boring decision or cheap shot) only to watch it again next time. :yep
