    And if he does, he doesn't care. Tried many times to get Floyd fanboys to discuss the ramification of the 3 week approved T.U.E. None of them have the balls to.

    Neither were.
    And losses don’t mean **** you have to factor in who they were fighting at what point in their respective careers and how they lost. Losses happen when the best fight the best…..
    Can’t believe I responded to this troll thread lol.

    Through time, we evolve. Unless you're a regressing chicken with your head in the sand. It got harder through time as athletes among other things evolve and get better. More knowledge on what to eat, what to do, how much to train and how much to rest and recover. More access to other fighters fights and everything. Yet this man through everything, never lost. It should have been easier to beat him, but no one ever could. No matter how much you studied Mayweather, he was too good. Whether it was through changing his game plan or simply beating ypu to the punch, then not being there. He was unreal.

    Too many Mayweather haters don't give him the credit he deserves. Too many Brian Kenny's of the world ( he lost too look here )

    No one was even remotely close to Money May he'd beat some of the very best even to this day he could place a bet, back and lay, Turn a stack of hey and make it into a massive Pay day!

    Muhammad Ali wouldn't have waited for his opponents to get old or done

    This could be a decent debate, if you actually wanted one.

    But to me and many others, you’ve worded it like a troll thread.

    Ray Leonard beat, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Benitez. At the time of their defeat were better than anyone Mayweather ever beat. Ray Leonard never gets mentioned as the GOAT.

    Although a very impressive resume from a very impressive fighter, Mayweather's level of opposition at the time he beat them just keeps him out of the GOAT conversation in my opinion.

    He was close. If he beat Cotto at 140, Hatton at 140, beat Pac after Pac beat Cotto, beat Margarito, Williams and somehow got Papa Tszyu on his list. He would have a strong case.

    Face it man Brian Kenny had that egotistical clown stammering & stuttering wonder he didn't stroke out LOL
    Mayweather "retired" to avoid the dangerous fighters at the time Pacquaio, Margarito, Williams etc. How many times did he "retire" ??? He claims Pacquaio lost but he didn't ? Bull Feces!! When Many had those losses he was a teenager fighting seasoned pro's to feed his family. Floyd was in golden gloves well silver gloves really Best part is He KNOWS he really lost to Castillo also Maidana, should have been DQ'd against Ortiz & Judah That's 4 FOUR losses already. Sure Ortiz fouled him by head butting & was rightly docked a point. Watch close ref Cortez NEVER called or signaled box on as the rules state. They were still officially in time out when Cowardly Floyd cold cocked a defenceless Ortiz. How many elbow shots did Floyd catch Ortiz with, but no fouls called?? Floyd is a well known & proven coward
    Now!! I notice, like everyone else Ive asked this question of,you ignored it. How on earth could Floyd not be cheating when 24 hours before fighting Pac, he was caught red handed in his own home receiving an illegal excessive 750 ml of Saline drip. He was breaking the NSAC's own rules regarding Saline drip for supposed dehydration. 1 He never applied for a TUE first,2 He was receiving several times the amount the medical facility would administer, 3 it was not being administered in a medical facility as the rules state,but in his own home illegally. Amazingly the NSAC made this statement when asked if they were investigating. " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating this" Then issued a retroactive TUE for the illegal saline 21 days after the event Please can you explain this no one else Ive asked has been able to.
    You can idolize Floyd all you want yourself but I absolutely do not agree with your opinion of him.
    I do not hate Floyd but no way could I ever respect or follow him. The hate he has received has been his own fault he thought it great to be the bad boy also known to have abused his babies Momma while making him watch etc He asked for all he got in my book

    Muhammad Ali, even though he was a heavyweight and had no divisions to move up into, nevertheless fought and beat historically greater Fighters than Mayweather has done.

    With the exception of Manny Pacquiao.

    Your entire argument crucially forgets to mention there are way more champions today, who are of significantly worse caliber. You also fail to mention the best athletes are no longer going into the sport. Why risk brain damage and getting your face permanently changed when you can do another sport?
