how does Mayweathers refusal to take the real challenges impact his legacy?

But but he beat cotto and he was gonna school Canelo.

 

Exactly. Overrated.

 

Well I just said I watched Floyd Marquez, and they didn't seem like they belonged in the same weightclass. So I guess Marquez was able to put on weight effectively at an even older age. Floyd can probably do the same if he's up for defending his 154 title.

Regarding JMM, lets not forget his only good win above 135 is vs a guy that started lower than him, and who was lighter fight night. So I wouldn't say he's a proven welter

 

it dont matter what ppl think.........hes unbeaten, rich and got plenty of fans.....

 

Wait you mean when Sugar Ray Leonard moved up FOUR weight classes, after FOUR years of inactivity and knocks the **** out of a champ for a belt thats not SEEEEEEEEEEERIOUS? Then takes on the most dangerous Jr. Middleweight Hearns again?

Ray Leonard makes Floyd look like a straight up fishnet wearing *****. Ray is an ATG, he took on every one come hell or high water, a straight G. Don't you ever ****ing compare junior to him. He'd whoop his ass harder than he did his daddy. Yall don know ****.

 

floyd makes every1 look like they don't belong at that weight class

 

Weather u believe it or not, Pacquiao is not a threat at 147. nobody is a threat expect for Canelo. Maybe he does take a Pacquiao fight but I really dont care about that anymore. thats sold old news. Canelo is a way way bigger risk then easy to hit Pacquiao

 

That's just the guys he fights. Remember, it's not fair to expect him to fight full blown guys in his 5th weight class.

 

Thats some bull **** too calling Floyd too small for welter. Anyone that comes in at fight night above 152 is a full blown welter. Crock of ****. JM Marquez at the time of his fight vs floyd was not a full blown welter. He came in at fight night under 150 cause at the time he was not a full blown welter. Now he is, he has power at WW, and is a threat. Old but still a threat.

 

floyd is the king at 147. marquez doesnt even want the rematch

 

where'd you hear that from?

 

As far as Ray, he couldn't make 140 and the only fight Pryor had at 147 he got flattened. Pacquiao-Mayweather would be way more significant.

Love Floyd but I don't consider him ATG yet either. Have pretty high standards but tired of people easily considering one "great". He has great skills no doubt but I feel he's a signature win or two from being ATG and I hope he gets one or two. IMHO, all he needs to do is whoop on Martinez and/or Alvarez but with Martinez breaking down I'd side mroe with if only Alvarez. Not hard for him at all. He's a victim or a sucky era and that's not his fault.

 

Surprised you dont think Floyd hasnt taken on challenges with the names -
Hernandez
Corrales
Castillo
Gatti
Judah
Ortiz
Guerrero
De La Hoya
Martinez
Manfredo
Mosely
Hatton
Cotto

 

Name the fighters that can duplicate his career.

 

Pacq beating Margarito is some kinda great feat? Marg who wasn't even rated at the weight? Why doesn't he face Martinez, Alvarez, or GGG then if he's better than Floyd? He couldn't even beat Cotto at an actual weightclass like Floyd did.

Pacquiao was never that good. Very good but never on Floyd's level.

I find it funny that SRL gets flak for the Hagler fight. He wasn't even a MW! Glad that fight happened. Closest Floyd could get to that is Martinez and I really don't think that fight is happening.
