    Floyd Mayweather admits to cherry picking on camera

    Floyd Mayweather was NEVER ever Undisputed

    I can go on and on and on about that xxx.

    Andre Berto, Victor Ortiz, Robert guerro wtf his name is LOL, washed up Mosley:jaja-no::jaja-no::jaja-no::jaja-no::jaja-no:


    Usyk is a badasss operator - who won gold and is Undisputed at cw and hw.


    Floyd ain't SXXT.

    Corralles
    Pacquiao
    Hatton
    Marquez
    Cotto
    Oscar
    Mosley
    Marquez
    Gatti
    Guerrero
    Maidana x2
    Baldimor
    Judah
    Berto
    Hernandez
    Castillo x2

    How many of the above where world champions, some holding in multiple divisions
    Sure Floyd stacked the deck in his favour at times and you can say usyk is better, he certainly challenges himself more, but to say a guy who dominated many of the above and Has the greatest punch accuracy recorded ain't s..t? Then either you are a troll or you don't know what you are talking about

    If it's the former? I've been there and sympathise
    If it is the latter? Perhaps watch his actual fights with an open mind and see if it changes your opinion

    Again, Floyd is a knob and a diva, especially later on in his career. But he was a master of his craft

    Gatti, Maidana, Guerrero & Berto don't count. They were alphabet champions & were never the best fighters in a division nor were they lineal champion.

    OK, so how many lineal champs has usyk beat, or any other active fighter?

    Floyd didn't beat all the above when they were the man, but many of the above where the highest ranked fighter in a division, or multiple divisions

    The above guys you mention were still belt holders and if you prefer we can call them highly ranked opponents. The fact of the matter is, Floyd bear many guys who have held portions of the world title, some were the man at one time or the other. All of the above were ranked fighters and a number were the best in their division

    I would have liked Floyd to fight tzsyu, manny earlier and maybe one or 2 others like margarito, but he still has a pretty good resume and his skills which is mainly my original point, can not be denied

    I can't think of many (any) active fighters with as many top 10 ranking wins. Maybe Canelo?

    Mayweather
    Canelo
    Pacquiao

    All above him. Crawford and Inoue still could be

    Good shout regarding canelo
    I don't think he is better than usyk, he has fought way tougher opponents

    If canelo was a 6'2 heavyweight with his current attributes, I think he would run through Joshua and Co. Fury would be the toughest fight for him and obviously usyk

    I do think usyk is better than canelo, but he wouldn't be undefeated if he fought canelos opposition. He would take a loss somewhere and I think that someone is Floyd

    As much as I'm giving Usyk his Flowers, I don't think he could beat Mayweather and he certainly wouldn't win a series of fights, if he did go 1 up

    Floyd always a-sided you to death

    After Oscar, you ALWAYS had to fight him in Vegas

    Floyd brought Marquez up a weight division to fight him.

    Usyk won the Muhammad Ali Super Six trophy.

    Hatton was never that good.

    Fury has no business there, he's not even the 2nd best HW of this era

    Usyk's opposition is just not as good. He fought the best he could fight every single time. It's not his fault.

    Well, whilst trash is obviously very harsh and seems agenda-driven...I do think Usyk will go down as the greater achiever of the two when they're both done.

    But the fact is that its arguable and there is still the potential there for Crawford to change it
