    :good No problem dude.

    This is probably my favorite Barrera avatar. Currently working on a bad ass highlight for him too, shut up that fool Divac calling him a one handed fighter. Surely you don't agree with that do you?

    He's just says things like that for attention, he doesn't mean it, Floyd is not a dumb person even though he acts like one in the public.

    Whether he means it or not is besides the point as far as I'm concerned. It was the same thing with the coming in over weight for the Marquez fight. Would it mean the difference between winning and losing? No, but out of principle, considering everything, he should have honored the contract and kept his critics mouths shut. Likewise, he's just pissing people off by saying he's the greatest fighter that ever lived. It's disrespectful to every great fighter that came before him.

    I think Mayweather wasalso pretty flawless vs Hernandez. Brillaint technical performance against a good boxer in Gennaro who just couldnt figure him out.

    Also the 2nd round destruction iover Manfredy was brillaint aswell

    I know, they're both quality performances and the type that make for a good resume when they all get stacked up.

    ive heard him say hes the best ever before but not actually say he was better than robinson by name - still its a big claim to make for someone whos probably not in the top 20 atg and possibly not even no1 p4p today

    Floyd couldn't hold Robinson's jock-strap.
