    Tell us how incredible Canelos win was vs Kov.
    Bet Canelo could have beaten up Bob Foster that night.

    Mayweather doesn't take this fight.. Anyone who followed his career already knows this. what he takes this fight at 29 years old?. lmao. So why even post it. Funny how the nutthugger Mayweather fans like to add 12 to 17 pounds over his best weight and match him with SRL.
    Just goes to show you how long people have actually followed this sport.

    I always give credit when it’s due.

    The issue with Floyd, is that he normally undid the good he did, due to his ridiculous actions.

    He looked in phenomenal shape against Marquez after a long lay off. He looked razor sharp.

    But unfortunately, he purposely reneged on his contractual agreement with the weight.

    It’s the same with the Canelo fight. It was maybe the best performance of his career.

    However, it was marred by the ridiculous CW stipulation.

    A CW for 2 guys who held belts in the SAME division.

    Typical Floyd behaviour.

    Ain't no way you used P4P for Pac > Hearns and then H2H for Canelo > Duran :lol:

    Marciano's wins over Charles and Moore > all of Lennox's resume baby. P4P supremacy.

    Jack Johnson's win over Ketchel shits all over Frazier's win over Ali as well.

    Prime Leonard matches Floyd's speed and ring generalship; difference was Ray was meaner and would aggressively go in for the kill. Floyd was great for his time but would lose to Ray - Hearns and Duran at welterweight and they all lose to SRR

    Just so you guys know, Floyd’s career success wasn’t primarily driven by handspeed. He beat guys who had faster hands than him.

    I’m not going to do that because you’ve asked me too many times for lists. Two of them are totally obvious.

    There is only possibly ONE and that would be Zab. So stop with the BS because Mayweather main weapon was definitely speed.

    Shane at that time was not faster then Mayweather and its not even debatable. Jesus Shane was nearly forty years old at the time of that bout.

    Shane was 38, pfp number 3, and still had equal or better handspeed than Floyd.

    You keep coming up with these mythical p4p lists like anyone cares or it matters. Shane was well past his prime and to say a 38 year old isn't is just foolish. Hell Mayweather was not as fast as that weight as he was at Jr.lightweight and to try to pretend he was with that extra weight is just denying basic facts.
    I mean Jesus Shane lost his next 3 bouts in a row and before that was held to a DRAW with Mora of all people and your trying to spin it like he was one of the 3 best boxers on the planet ???

    Hagler didn’t even fight after Leonard and Duran turned into a shell of himself if you somehow think performances after a career defining fight are especially relevant.

    it’s funny how the careers of Meldrick Taylor and Zab Judah didn’t turn out like Floyd’s.
