Are even hardcore fans overrating Mayweather considering his last opponent?

    Are you saying floyd was 148 on fight night against marquez? Either your stupid or you need glasses. He was LUCKY if he was under 156. I like money but some of this **** is crazy.

    Of course he's overrated. ****en stuttering fool chose to retire rather than face boxers we were expecting him to face. That ****** move in itself speaks volumes about his credibility. And anyone who justifies or accepts this **** cant be taken seriously.

    I don't even consider that last performance when rating him. Everyone knows that fight was a joke. You look at his career as a whole and I think that people are underrating him if anything.

    PBF looked good, his speed and timing were great. That was the biggest concern is that he would be rusty or "not the same" since his layoff.

    does it matter? They all started at higher weight classes than PBF. So they were certainly not smaller than him.

    I can agree with you about Mitchell but how can you say that Judah is not a real welter? He had campaigned there for 3 years, 6 fights was the undisputed and lineal champ at one point and has never fought at 140 again.

    Any excuse that you use to say that Zab was not a real welter can only help floyd as it would mean that floyd is also not a real welter and doesn't deserve so much **** for not fighting the other welters.

    I said stick to Mayweather discussions but even that topic you are as ignorant as you can be!!!!

    Floyd never fought above 148 at fight night?????? Floyd came in at 150 during weigh-in against Oscar, and lost 2 pounds during fight time???? Weighed in at 146 against JMM and ballooned to ONLY GOD KNOWS weight but definitely looked way bigger than JMM.

    Marquez, who is undoubtably one of the best counterpunchers in the world, decided to fight as the aggressor against Mayweather. Turns out he's **** at offense.

    Add that to the fact he was giving up 2 weight divisions in weight and also skill, speed, age, reach, height footspeed. You name it.

    The Marquez win means nothing.
